SYnc UPdate POrtage
Syuppo is a python3 daemon (syuppod) / client (syuppoc) which automate sync and calculate how many packages to update for gentoo portage manager. Syuppod is intend to be run as service using /etc/init.d/ and it run as an unprivileged system user (syuppod) and use sudo to gain root access (only for sync).
Syuppod uses dbus to expose informations to user space tools and syuppoc can retrieve informations about new update package available, syncing stats. And many more (also more to come).
You can use syuppoc, for exemple, with conky to display some informations. But it's up to you to do whatever you want to do with these informations and from whatever program (as long as it use dbus or syuppoc output).
For pydbus and inotify_simple ebuilds can be found in Jjeje007-overlay.
Use syuppod ebuild found in Jjeje007-overlay. It will install all dependencies.
Run the daemon:
/etc/init.d/syuppod start
Syuppod have several logs all located in /var/log/syuppod/\
The debug mode is enable by default until syuppod is stabilized.
Syuppod write sync and pretend process logs to, respectively:
/var/log/syuppod/sync.log
/var/log/syuppod/pretend.log
All logs are autorotate.
This is a work in progress so i haven't yet planned to make a release.
Syuppod API is stabilized.\
