NAME

llvm.org.eclass - Common bits for fetching & unpacking llvm.org projects

DESCRIPTION

The llvm.org eclass provides common code to fetch and unpack parts of the llvm.org project tree. It takes care of handling both git checkouts and source tarballs, making it possible to unify the code of live and release ebuilds and effectively reduce the work needed to package new releases/RCs/branches.

In order to use this eclass, the ebuild needs to declare LLVM_COMPONENTS and then call llvm.org_set_globals. If tests require additional components, they need to be listed in LLVM_TEST_COMPONENTS. The eclass exports an implementation of src_unpack() phase.

Example:

inherit llvm.org

LLVM_COMPONENTS=( lld )
LLVM_TEST_COMPONENTS=( llvm/utils/lit )
llvm.org_set_globals

FUNCTIONS

llvm.org_set_globals: Set global variables. This must be called after setting LLVM_* variables used by the eclass.
llvm.org_src_unpack: Unpack or checkout requested LLVM components.

ECLASS VARIABLES

LLVM_COMPONENTS (REQUIRED): List of components needed unconditionally. Specified as bash array with paths relative to llvm-project git. Automatically translated for tarball releases.
The first path specified is used to construct default S.
LLVM_TEST_COMPONENTS: List of additional components needed for tests.
