cargo-ebuild

cargo ebuild is a Cargo subcommand that generates an ebuild recipe that uses cargo.eclass to build a Cargo based project for Gentoo

Installation

Install it with Cargo:

$ cargo install cargo-ebuild

Usage

You will first need to get the sources to the crate you want to install. Your best bet is to search for the crate at crates.io and follow the Repository link. This should give you the ability to clone the repo. Once you have cloned the repo, change into the directory and ensure that you checkout the tag corresponding to the version you would like to package. Lastly you will execute the cargo ebuild command to generate the ebuild for that crate.

Example

$ git clone https://github.com/cardoe/cargo-ebuild.git
$ cd cargo-ebuild
$ git checkout v0.3.0
$ cargo ebuild
$ cat cargo-ebuild-0.3.0.ebuild
