emerge_AppImage

emerge AppImage to remove and install Gentoo Linux ebuilds that is needed for installing and removing packages.

How to use it:

$ chmod +x emerge-{VERSION}.AppImage
$ ./emerge-{VERSION}.AppImage -pv sys-apps/portage
  • Note that the options --root=/mnt/host --config-root=/mnt/host are already included internally.
  • This is one implementation of the idea: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Upgrading_Gentoo#Updating_old_systems
  • Use this with caution, as there is no guarantee of any kind, and you will be running it as root.
  • It uses the defaults paths (and don't work with others path yet):
    • PORTDIR="/var/db/repos/gentoo"
    • DISTDIR="/var/cache/distfiles"
    • PKGDIR="/var/cache/binpkgs"
