Abeni Quickstart 1. Configuring Abeni You must run Abeni as root. Previous versions of Abeni required you run as regular user and execute the emerge and ebuild commands with sudo.
Make sure you have read/write permissions for your PORTDIR_OVERLAY directory. If you haven't done so, edit /etc/make.conf and set the PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable.
Under the 'Options' menu, click on 'Global Preferences'. Choose your external web browser (for help files), favorite editor, xterm program etc. The email address should be set to the address you use to log in to Bugzilla at bugs.gentoo.org. This is used in the Project Manager to download the status of ebuilds. 2. Creating a New Ebuild When creating a new ebuild, you are first prompted for the package's URI. The ebuild name and package name are derived from this. If you are creating an ebuild with a Source Forge URI, Abeni will convert it to the mirror:// format. This is a special format that lets portage check multiple Source Forge mirrors. If you are creating an ebuild based on a live CVS version, enter 'CVS' instead of a URI. Abeni will then add the proper eclass inherit statement and CVS variables for you to fill in. When you save your ebuild, you can look in the 'Output' tab and see what it looks like or press the F7 key to view or continue editing it in your favorite editor. There is no file dialog when you save your ebuild. You can change the actual ebuild name in the field 'Ebuild File'.
