Chnum

Lightweight set of scripts to create a local fake environment

Please note that Chnum is under heavy development. Therefore a lot of things might change in future

Installation

Clone the repo into your home directory and add the following line to your .bashrc

. ${HOME}/Chnum/chnum.sh

Setup

Setup your local environment with all packages placed in the setup.d directory by calling

setup-env

Packages

All packages will be placed in the setup.d directory for now. Most probably a separate repo directory will be created in future to allow multiple sources for package files.

A package basically consists of a setup script which will be called to build and install the package. Futhermore there might be additional ressources like patches and configuration files

examplepkg/         -- package directory
  examplepkg.setup  -- setup script
  files/            -- additional files
    examplepkg.conf -- configuration file
    examplepkg.env  -- env-file to be sourced

As you would guess the package structure and setup routines are looking quite similar to the once used in gentoo's portage. Actually it is based on it.
