Gentoo package

[kobzar]

Could you provide package for Gentoo Linux?

I maintain an .ebuild for min browser in Edgets overlay, so you can install it from there.

Just:

sudo layman --add edgets
sudo emerge --ask min-bin

Hi.

I just tried this ebuild code, unfortunately npm install doesn't work, it never downloads dependencies. Manually, this is working. If anyone can help me fix it, I would appreciate it.

Yes, it's quite tricky to write ebuilds for packages based on node.js. You can't use npm install, because portage requires all dependencies downloaded and checksummed in the manifest before installation even begins. That would require all packages from node_modules to be listed in SRC_URI and then manually placed in the node_modules directory and believe me, you don't want to do that. Maybe there are some tools that would do this work for you, but that ebuild would be a nightmare to look at and maintain. That's the reason I just simply extract .deb file in my previously posted ebuild.

But you can try to reach out for help on the official https://forums.gentoo.org/. You will probably get more information there.
