This directory contains pkgutils, a set of utilities like pkgadd(1), pkgrm(8), and pkginfo(1) that are used for managing software packages: adding, removing and basic information gathering.
This distribution is a fork of CRUX' pkgutils as of commit 9ca0da6 (Sat Nov 17 2018) with the following differences:
- GNU-style options/help/usage
- better GNU Coding Standards support
- manual pages in mdoc(7) format
- split pkgadd(8) manual page into pkgadd(8) and pkgadd.conf(5)
- zstd packages support
- vim syntax highlight for
pkgadd.conffile
See git log for complete/further differences.
The original sources can be downloaded from:
- C++11 compiler (GCC 4.8.1 and later, Clang 3.3 and later)
- POSIX sh(1p) and "mandatory utilities"
- GNU make(1)
- pkg-config(1)
- libarchive(3) to unpack an archive files
Also, see rejmerge, an utility that merges files that were rejected by pkgadd(8) during package upgrades.
The shell commands make && make install should build and install this
package. The command make install_bashcomp should install bash completion
script, and make install_vimfiles should install vim syntax highlight for
pkgadd.conf file.
See config.mk file for configuration parameters, and src/pathnames.h for
absolute filenames and settings that pkgutils wants for various defaults.
