DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
The ppkkgg__ccrreeaattee command is used to create packages that will subsequently
be fed to one of the package extraction/info utilities. The input
description and command line arguments for the creation of a package are
not really meant to be human-generated, though it is easy enough to do
so. It is more expected that you will use a front-end tool for the job
rather than muddling through it yourself. Nonetheless, a short descrip-
tion of the input syntax is included in this document.
OOPPTTIIOONNSS
The following command line options are supported:
--BB _b_u_i_l_d_-_i_n_f_o_-_f_i_l_e
Install the file _b_u_i_l_d_-_i_n_f_o_-_f_i_l_e so that users of binary packages
can see what make(1) definitions were used to control the build
when creating the binary package. This allows various build def-
initions to be retained in a binary package and viewed wherever
it is installed, using pkg_info(1).
--bb _b_u_i_l_d_-_v_e_r_s_i_o_n_-_f_i_l_e
Install the file _b_u_i_l_d_-_v_e_r_s_i_o_n_-_f_i_l_e so that users of binary pack-
ages can see what versions of the files used to control the build
were used when creating the binary package. This allows some
fine-grained version control information to be retained in a
binary package and viewed wherever it is installed, using
pkg_info(1).
--CC _c_p_k_g_s
Set the initial package conflict list to _c_p_k_g_s. This is assumed
to be a whitespace separated list of package names and is meant
as a convenient shorthand for specifying multiple @@ppkkggccffll direc-
tives in the packing list (see PACKING LIST DETAILS section
below).
--cc _[_-_]_d_e_s_c
Fetch package (one line description) from file _d_e_s_c or, if pre-
ceded by --, the argument itself. This string should also give
some idea of which version of the product (if any) the package
represents.
--DD _d_i_s_p_l_a_y_f_i_l_e
Display the file after installing the package. Useful for things
like legal notices on almost-free software, etc.
--dd _[_-_]_d_e_s_c
Fetch long description for package from file _d_e_s_c or, if preceded
by --, the argument itself.
--EE Add an empty views file to the package.
--FF _c_o_m_p_r_e_s_s_i_o_n
Use _c_o_m_p_r_e_s_s_i_o_n as compression algorithm. This overrides the
heuristic to guess the compression type from the output name.
Currently supported values are bzip2, gzip and none.
--ff _p_a_c_k_l_i_s_t
Fetch (packing list) for package from the file _p_a_c_k_l_i_s_t or ssttddiinn
if _p_a_c_k_l_i_s_t is a -- (dash).
--gg _g_r_o_u_p
Make _g_r_o_u_p the default group ownership instead of extracting it
from the file system.
--II _r_e_a_l_p_r_e_f_i_x
Provide the real prefix, as opposed to the staging prefix, for
use in staged installations of packages.
--ii _i_s_c_r_i_p_t
Set _i_s_c_r_i_p_t to be the install procedure for the package. This
can be any executable program (or shell script). It will be
invoked automatically when the package is later installed.
--KK _p_k_g___d_b_d_i_r
Override the value of the PKG_DBDIR configuration option with the
value _p_k_g___d_b_d_i_r.
--kk _d_s_c_r_i_p_t
Set _d_s_c_r_i_p_t to be the de-install procedure for the package. This
can be any executable program (or shell script). It will be
invoked automatically when the package is later (if ever) de-
installed.
--ll Check that any symbolic links which are to be placed in the pack-
age are relative to the current prefix. This means using
unlink(2) and symlink(2) to remove and re-link any symbolic links
which are targeted at full path names.
--nn _p_r_e_s_e_r_v_e_-_f_i_l_e
The file is used to denote that the package should not be
deleted. This is intended for use where the deletion of packages
may present a bootstrap problem.
--OO Go into a (packing list only) mode. This is used to do (fake
pkg_add) operations when a package is installed. In such cases,
it is necessary to know what the final, adjusted packing list
will look like.
--PP _d_p_k_g_s
Set the initial package dependency list to _d_p_k_g_s. This is
assumed to be a whitespace separated list of package names and is
meant as a convenient shorthand for specifying multiple @@ppkkggddeepp
directives in the packing list (see PACKING LIST DETAILS section
below). In addition, the exact versions of the packages referred
to in the _d_p_k_g_s list will be added to the packing list in the
form of @@bbllddddeepp directives.
--TT _b_u_i_l_d_p_k_g_s
The exact versions of the packages referred to in the _b_u_i_l_d_p_k_g_s
list will be added to the packing list in the form of @@bbllddddeepp
directives. This directives are stored after those created by
the --PP option. _b_u_i_l_d_p_k_g_s is assumed to be a whitespace separated
list of package names.
--pp _p_r_e_f_i_x
Set _p_r_e_f_i_x as the initial directory (base) to start from in
selecting files for the package.
--SS _s_i_z_e_-_a_l_l_-_f_i_l_e
Store the given file for later querying with the pkg_info(1) --SS
flag. The file is expected to contain the size (in bytes) of all
files of this package plus any required packages added up and
stored as a ASCII string, terminated by a newline.
--ss _s_i_z_e_-_p_k_g_-_f_i_l_e
Store the given file for later querying with the pkg_info(1) --ss
flag. The file is expected to contain the size (in bytes) of all
files of this package added up and stored as a ASCII string, ter-
minated by a newline.
--tt _t_e_m_p_l_a_t_e
Use _t_e_m_p_l_a_t_e as the input to mktemp(3). By default, this is the
string _/_t_m_p_/_i_n_s_t_m_p_._X_X_X_X_X_X, but it may be necessary to override it
in the situation where space in your _/_t_m_p directory is limited.
Be sure to leave some number of `X' characters for mktemp(3) to
fill in with a unique ID.
--UU Do not update the package file database with any file informa-
tion.
--uu _o_w_n_e_r
Make _o_w_n_e_r the default owner instead of extracting it from the
file system.
--VV Print version number and exit.
--vv Turn on verbose output.
PPAACCKKIINNGG LLIISSTT DDEETTAAIILLSS
The (packing list) format (see --ff) is fairly simple, being nothing more
than a single column of filenames to include in the package. However,
since absolute pathnames are generally a bad idea for a package that
could be installed potentially anywhere, there is another method of spec-
ifying where things are supposed to go and, optionally, what ownership
and mode information they should be installed with. This is done by
embedding specialized command sequences in the packing list. Briefly
described, these sequences are:
@@ccwwdd _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y
Set the internal directory pointer to point to _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y. All
subsequent filenames will be assumed relative to this directory.
Note: @@ccdd is also an alias for this command.
@@ssrrcc _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y
This command is supported for compatibility only. It was for-
merly used to override @@ccwwdd during package creation.
@@eexxeecc _c_o_m_m_a_n_d
Execute _c_o_m_m_a_n_d as part of the unpacking process. If _c_o_m_m_a_n_d
contains any of the following sequences somewhere in it, they
will be expanded inline. For the following examples, assume that
@@ccwwdd is set to _/_u_s_r_/_l_o_c_a_l and the last extracted file was
_b_i_n_/_e_m_a_c_s.
%%FF Expands to the last filename extracted (as specified), in
the example case _b_i_n_/_e_m_a_c_s
%%DD Expand to the current directory prefix, as set with @@ccwwdd,
in the example case _/_u_s_r_/_l_o_c_a_l.
%%BB Expand to the (basename) of the fully qualified filename,
that is the current directory prefix, plus the last file-
spec, minus the trailing filename. In the example case,
that would be _/_u_s_r_/_l_o_c_a_l_/_b_i_n.
%%ff Expand to the (filename) part of the fully qualified
name, or the converse of %%BB, being in the example case,
_e_m_a_c_s.
@@uunneexxeecc _c_o_m_m_a_n_d
Execute _c_o_m_m_a_n_d as part of the deinstallation process. Expansion
of special %% sequences is the same as for @@eexxeecc. This command is
not executed during the package add, as @@eexxeecc is, but rather when
the package is deleted. This is useful for deleting links and
other ancillary files that were created as a result of adding the
package, but not directly known to the package's table of con-
tents (and hence not automatically removable). The advantage of
using @@uunneexxeecc over a deinstallation script is that you can use
the (special sequence expansion) to get at files regardless of
where they've been potentially redirected (see --pp).
@@mmooddee _m_o_d_e
Set default permission for all subsequently extracted files to
_m_o_d_e. Format is the same as that used by the cchhmmoodd command
(well, considering that it's later handed off to it, that's no
surprise). Use without an arg to set back to default (extrac-
tion) permissions.
@@ooppttiioonn _o_p_t_i_o_n
Set internal package options, the only currently supported one
being _p_r_e_s_e_r_v_e, which tells pkg_add to move any existing files
out of the way, preserving the previous contents (which are also
resurrected on pkg_delete, so caveat emptor).
@@oowwnneerr _u_s_e_r
Set default ownership for all subsequently extracted files to
_u_s_e_r. Use without an arg to set back to default (extraction)
ownership.
@@ggrroouupp _g_r_o_u_p
Set default group ownership for all subsequently extracted files
to _g_r_o_u_p. Use without an arg to set back to default (extraction)
group ownership.
@@ccoommmmeenntt _s_t_r_i_n_g
Embed a comment in the packing list. Useful in trying to docu-
ment some particularly hairy sequence that may trip someone up
later.
@@iiggnnoorree
Used internally to tell extraction to ignore the next file (don't
copy it anywhere), as it's used for some special purpose.
@@nnaammee _n_a_m_e
Set the name of the package. This is mandatory and is usually
put at the top. This name is potentially different than the name
of the file it came in, and is used when keeping track of the
package for later deinstallation. Note that ppkkgg__ccrreeaattee will
derive this field from the _p_k_g_-_n_a_m_e and add it automatically if
none is given.
@@ppkkggddiirr _n_a_m_e
Declare directory _n_a_m_e as managed. If it does not exist at
installation time, it is created. If this directory is no longer
referenced by packages and the last file or directory in it is
deleted, the directory is removed as well.
@@ddiirrrrmm _n_a_m_e
This command is supported for compatibility only. If directory
_n_a_m_e exists, it will be deleted at deinstall time.
@@ddiissppllaayy _n_a_m_e
Declare _n_a_m_e as the file to be displayed at install time (see --DD
above).
@@ppkkggddeepp _p_k_g_n_a_m_e
Declare a dependency on the _p_k_g_n_a_m_e package. The _p_k_g_n_a_m_e package
must be installed before this package may be installed, and this
package must be deinstalled before the _p_k_g_n_a_m_e package is dein-
stalled. Multiple @@ppkkggddeepp directives may be used if the package
depends on multiple other packages.
@@bbllddddeepp _p_k_g_n_a_m_e
Declare that this package was built with the exact version of
_p_k_g_n_a_m_e (since the @@ppkkggddeepp directive may contain wildcards or
relational package version information).
@@ppkkggccffll _p_k_g_c_f_l_n_a_m_e
Declare a conflict with the _p_k_g_c_f_l_n_a_m_e package, as the two pack-
ages contain references to the same files, and so cannot co-exist
on the same system.
