Gentoo Ebuild

[kdschneider]

Hey guys,

I recently switched my system to Gentoo Linux. The only thing I miss in the usual Gentoo repositories (official & GURU) is an Ebuild for quarto.

Does anyone here use Gentoo and has a working Ebuild file for quarto? I tried writing my own, but as I am new to Gentoo I am a bit in over my head.

Best regards,
kds

It's the first time I even heard of "Gentoo Linux", I don't think you are going to learn "how-to" here.
I suggest to go to more specialised places to learn how your OS works and then see how it might apply to Quarto source code.
There is a guide in the official documentation, see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Binary_package_guide.

If there's no specific need to build quarto from source, I suggest using the binary package under /opt/ as described in the documentation ¹, this is what I do on both Void and Gentoo and it works fine. To summarise:

ver=1.3.450
cd $(mktemp -d)
wget "https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/releases/download/v${ver}/quarto-${ver}-linux-amd64.tar.gz"
tar -C ~/opt -xvzf quarto-${ver}-linux-amd64.tar.gz
ln -s ~/opt/quarto-${ver}/bin/quarto ~/.local/bin/
quarto check

If you really wanted to write an .ebuild you could do so for the binary package with something like this:

`quarto-bin.ebuild`

EAPI=7
DESCRIPTION="An open-source scientific and technical publishing system"
HOMEPAGE="https://quarto.org/"

ver=1.3.450
dirname=quarto-${ver}
pkgname=quarto-${ver}-linux-amd64
SRC_URI="https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/releases/download/v${ver}/${pkgname}.tar.gz"

SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~x86"
IUSE=""

DEPEND=""
RDEPEND="$DEPEND"

S="${WORKDIR}/${dirname}"

src_compile() {
    :
}

src_install() {
    # Rename the binary file to 00_my_ripgrep
    insinto /opt/${dirname}
    doins -r . || die "Failed to install the package into '/opt/${dirname}'"
}

If you need to compile from source, then my advice would be to adapt trap00d's PKGBUILD from here ².
