bbppmm -- menu-based binary package manager
SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
bbppmm [--hhnnVVvv] [--bb _b_a_s_e_U_R_L] [--mm _m_a_c_h_i_n_e] [--rr _r_e_l_e_a_s_e] [--ww _s_e_c_o_n_d_s]
DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
The bbppmm command is used to locate and install binary packages from any
reachable URL.
The following command-line options are supported:
--bb _b_a_s_e_U_R_L
Specify a base URL from which to download binary packages. The
default URL is _f_t_p_:_/_/_f_t_p_._N_e_t_B_S_D_._o_r_g_/_p_u_b_/_p_k_g_s_r_c_/_p_a_c_k_a_g_e_s.
--hh Print a help message and then exit.
--mm _m_a_c_h_i_n_e
Use _m_a_c_h_i_n_e as the machine architecture to be used, instead of
that returned by uname(1).
--nn Don't actually execute the commands to add the package.
--rr _r_e_l_e_a_s_e
Use _r_e_l_e_a_s_e as the operating system release to be used, instead
of that returned by uname(1).
--VV Print version number and exit.
--vv Turn on verbose output.
--ww _s_e_c_o_n_d_s
The number of _s_e_c_o_n_d_s to wait after displaying an error message
and returning to normal menu operations.
bbppmm provides a menu-based binary package manager for NetBSD. bbppmm first
connects to the URL using ftp(1), and displays a list of categories for
which binary packages exist. If no categories are displayed, it could be
that the machine architecture or operating system release string have
been wrongly interpreted, and that it will be necessary to override this
values by means of the command line options. Within a category, a list
of packages will be displayed, and by selecting one using the number
assigned to it, the package will be downloaded automatically, and
installed, using the pkg_add(1) utility. It is also possible to change
the category currently being examined, and to quit from the utility, sim-
ply by selecting the appropriate choices on the menu.

The environment variables which govern the behavior of ftp(1) and
pkg_add(1) are valid for bbppmm.
