How do I update manifests for Gentoo ebuilds on openSUSE without using Virtualization?

English Open Build Service (OBS)

Hi,

If there is a more appropriate forum for me to post this question on, please tell me, but I can’t seem to find an openSUSE forum about package development that is not via the OBS. What I would like to do is update manifests for ebuilds in my sabayon-tools overlay on my openSUSE Tumbleweed machine, preferably without virtualization. See I know I can boot a Gentoo or Sabayon VM and update the ebuild manifests by issuing the command:


ebuild <PACKAGE-NAME>.ebuild manifest

but this can get tedious, as I need to maintain the guest system, plus the booting time of the VM is hardly 0 seconds, so I was wondering if somehow I could do this maintenance on my openSUSE Tumbleweed machine, without ever firing up a VM.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton

Hi
Docker perhaps?

I’ve used Docker before and I must say I find it even slower than using a virtual machine. Oh well, I suppose I can’t expect miracles.
