livecheck

emerge --sync
emerge livecheck

Command line usage

Heuristic update detection
This package can do automated lookups based on commonly used hosts. Currently:

GitHub archives
GitHub commit hashes
GitHub releases
JetBrains products
PyPI

This works as long as the version system is usable with Portage's version
comparison function. For anything else, see Package configuration.
Package configuration
For packages that will not work with currently heuristic checking, a configuration file named
livecheck.json can be placed in the directory alongside the ebuild.
Configuration keys

type - none, regex, or checksum
branch - The GitHub branch name to use for commits
no_auto_update - boolean - Do not allow auto-updating of this package
regex - The regular expression to use
semver - When set to false, do not allow detection of semantic versioning
transformation_function - string - Function to use to transform the version string. Currently
only dotize is supported. Others are for internal use.

use_vercmp - boolean - if vercmp from Portage should be used. Default: true.

Development use
Set up PYTHONPATH
As root, set the environment variable PYTHONPATH to include where the livecheck module is
located. Use python -m livecheck instead of livecheck to execute commands.
With a virtualenv
Run poetry install --all-extras --with=dev,docs,tests to set up a virtualenv.
Fully copy /etc/portage to the root of your virtualenv. Then you must fix make.profile. Also
consider making changes in repos.conf if necessary.
Example:
poetry shell
cd "${VIRTUAL_ENV}/etc"
cp -R /etc/portage .
cd portage
ln -sf "$(readlink -f /etc/portage/make.profile)" make.profile
