ebuild: Fetch, unpack, compile, install and qmerge the specified ebuild file.
$ ebuild ${filename-ebuild} merge
try on your machine
The command "ebuild ${filename-ebuild} merge" is commonly used in Gentoo Linux, a distribution that uses the Portage package management system. Let's break down the command:
- "ebuild" is a command-line tool in Gentoo that manages the building and installation of software packages.
- "${filename-ebuild}" is a placeholder for the actual filename of an ebuild file. An ebuild file is a script that contains the instructions for building and installing a specific package.
- "merge" is an argument provided to the ebuild command. In this context, "merge" instructs ebuild to compile and install the package defined in the specified ebuild file.
So, when you run the command "ebuild ${filename-ebuild} merge", you are telling Gentoo's package management system to use the specified ebuild file to compile and install the corresponding package onto your system.
