SYNOPSIS
========
**gs-elpa** **-o** *OVERLAY* [**-r** *REPO*] **sync**
**gs-elpa** **-o** *OVERLAY* [**-r** *REPO*] **list**
**gs-elpa** **-o** *OVERLAY* [**-r** *REPO*] **generate** *PACKAGE*
**gs-elpa** **-o** *OVERLAY* [**-r** *REPO*] **install** *PACKAGE*
**gs-elpa** **-o** *OVERLAY* [**-r** *REPO*] **generate-tree** [**-d**]
DESCRIPTION
===========
**gs-elpa** is an ebuild generator for ELPA repositories -- repositories with
elisp packages for emacs.
There are two ways of using **gs-elpa**:
* use it with **layman**
In this case all you need to do is install **layman-9999**, **g-sorcery**
and **gs-elpa**. Then you should just run `layman -L` as
root and find an overlay you want. Type of overlay will be
displayed as *g-sorcery*. Then you add this overlay as
usual. It's all you need to do and it's the recommended way of
using **gs-elpa**.
* use it as stand-alone tool
In this case you should create an overlay (see **portage** documentation), sync it and populate
it with one or more ebuilds. Then ebuilds could be installed by emerge or by **gs-elpa** tool.
OPTIONS
=======
**--overlay** *OVERLAY*, **-o** *OVERLAY*
Overlay directory. This option is mandatory if there is no
**default_overlay** entry in a backend config.
**--repository** *REPO*, **-r** *REPO*
Repository name. Can be one of **gnu-elpa**, **marmalade**, **melpa**.
COMMANDS
========
**sync**
Synchronize a repository database.
**list**
List packages available in a repository.
**generate**
Generate a given ebuild and all its dependencies.
**install**
Generate and install an ebuild using your package mangler.
**generate-tree**
Generate entire overlay structure. Without option **-d** after
this command sources are not fetched during generation and there
are no entries for them in Manifest files.
FILES
=====
**/etc/g-sorcery/gs-elpa.json**
Backend config.
**/etc/layman/overlays/gs-elpa-overlays.xml**
List of available repositories.
EXAMPLES
========
Using gs-elpa with layman
Execute
**layman -L**
Find there an overlay you need (there are
3 gs-elpa overlays currently: gnu-elpa, marmalade and melpa).
Add, e.g.
**layman -a gnu-elpa -a marmalade**
Emerge any package from it, e.g.
**emerge -va clojure-mode**
Generating user ebuilds in user overlay
Create new user overlay. Run
**gs-elpa -o** *OVERLAY_DIRECTORY* **-r gnu-elpa** **sync**
List packages:
**gs-elpa -o** *OVERLAY_DIRECTORY* **-r gnu-elpa** **list**
Install any package you want:
**gs-elpa -o** *OVERLAY_DIRECTORY* **-r gnu-elpa** **install** *PACKAGE*
Repositories you can use are gnu-elpa, marmalade and melpa. You can use them
all in one overlay. Note, that if you call **generate-tree** command your overlay
will be wiped and overlay tree for a given repository will be generated. Be careful!
NOTES
=====
1. At the moment the only package mangler **gs-elpa** supports is **portage**.
BUGS
====
Some packages in **marmalade** and **melpa** depend on packages from gnu-elpa. **install** and **generate**
commands will fail on them as dependencies between overlays are not supported currently. So the
recommended way of using gs-elpa is using it with layman. Even doing so you should always add
gnu-elpa repository: **layman -a gnu-elpa**.
