How to extract the version/revision of an installed package?
 

Given the following:
# qlist -Iv sys-apps/portage
sys-apps/portage-2.1.4.5

How do I safely extract the "2.1.4.5"?

(I don't necessarily need to use qlist. Just want to get the version of
an installed package within a bash script)

That's probably offtopic for this list, since it really has nothing to do with
portage itself. However, you probably want something like:


qlist -Iv sys-apps/portage | sed -e 's:^.*-([0-9][^-_]*).*$:1:'

And if you want the full version (with RC position and revision):

qlist -Iv sys-apps/portage | sed -e 's:^.*-([0-9].*)$:1:'

Thanks :)

Reason I thought this is relevant is: I'm basically looking for an API
to get an installed package's version/rev. I prefer that over making
syntactical assumptions on the way portage names packages.


Taking RPM for example, there's such an API: something like rpm -q
--queryformat '%{VERSION}|' PKG_NAME if I remember correctly.|

You could also use eix ... though I needed quite a time to figure it out ;)

# PRINT_SLOTS="false" eix -e -I sys-devel/automake --pure-packages
- --format "<installedversionsshort>"
1.9.6-r2 1.10.1-r1

Note however, that if you a package has multiple installed versions,
they are seperated by space. One could use


# PRINT_SLOTS="false" eix -e -I sys-devel/automake --pure-packages
- --format "<installedversionsshort:
>"

But this prints an additional empty line at the beginning.

Well, I think portageq will be fine if it's limited to a small
number of calls. Here's a simple test, with portage-2.2_rc16:

# time python -c "import portage.versions"

real 0m0.141s
user 0m0.124s
sys 0m0.016s

It's not so bad if it only has to be called a few times. For cases
where a large number need to be split, they could be processed in a
batch by a single portageq call, by either passing all the inputs in
as arguments or writing them to stdin.

I happen to do it in bash for my update script, it hasn't broke yet:

get_ebuildversion() {
if [[ -z $1 ]] ; then
return
fi

# strip extension
t=${1%.ebuild}
# abort if this is not an ebuild
if [[ $t == $1 ]] ; then
return
fi
# strip package name
t=${t#*-}
# sometimes there are dashes in the package name
while [[ ${t:0:1} < "0" || ${t:0:1} > "9" ]] ; do
[[ $t != ${t#*-} ]]
&& t=${t#*-}
|| break
done

echo ${t}
}

you might want to remove the .ebuild check and strip the category ($1#*/})

Great! the usage of -C escaped me, and I was wondering why I was
getting bad output...

Thanks,

Is there syntax in eix for querying: "is package X installed with a
version X.Y or higher?"
