SYNOPSIS
========
**g-sorcery** *BACKEND* **-o** *OVERLAY* [**-r** *REPO*] **sync**
**g-sorcery** *BACKEND* **-o** *OVERLAY* [**-r** *REPO*] **list**
**g-sorcery** *BACKEND* **-o** *OVERLAY* [**-r** *REPO*] **generate** *PACKAGE*
**g-sorcery** *BACKEND* **-o** *OVERLAY* [**-r** *REPO*] **install** *PACKAGE*
**g-sorcery** *BACKEND* **-o** *OVERLAY* [**-r** *REPO*] **generate-tree** [**-d**]
DESCRIPTION
===========
**g-sorcery** is aimed to provide you with easy way of integration of 3rd party software
providers with Gentoo.
3rd party software provider is a software distribution like CTAN, CPAN or ELPA.
Usualy there is a lot of software available in such a distribution and very few or no ebuilds
for it.
**g-sorcery** is a project aimed to implement a framework for ebuild generators (backends)
for 3rd party software providers. The CLI tool g-sorcery is designed to be called rather
by appropriate backends then by user. If you are not a backend developer and just want to
manage your overlay see documentation for a backend you want to use.
There are two ways of using **g-sorcery**:
* use it with **layman**
In this case all you need to do is install **layman-9999**, **g-sorcery**
and appropriate backend. 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 **g-sorcery** and backends.
* use it as stand-alone tool (not recommended)
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 **g-sorcery** tool
or backend.
OPTIONS
=======
*BACKEND*
Backend to be used.
**--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. If there is more than one repository available
for a given backend must be specified.
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/g-sorcery.cfg**
Main g-sorcery config.
**/etc/g-sorcery/\*.json**
Backend configs.
NOTES
=====
1. At the moment the only package mangler **g-sorcery** supports is **portage**.
