Use .Sq * to mean any architecture (e.g., arch-independent packages). .It Fl f Ar packinglist Fetch .Dq packing list for package from the file .Ar packinglist or stdin if .Ar packinglist is a dash .Dq \&- . .It Fl c [ Ar \&- ] Ns Ar desc Fetch package .Dq one line description from file .Ar desc or, if preceded by .Dq \&- , the argument itself. This string should also give some idea of which version of the product (if any) the package represents. .It Fl d [ Ar \&- ] Ns Ar desc Fetch long description for package from file .Ar desc or, if preceded by .Dq \&- , the argument itself. .It Fl v Turn on verbose output. .It Fl h Force .Xr tar 1 to follow symbolic links, so that the files they point to are dumped, rather than the links themselves (deprecated). .It Fl i Ar iscript Set .Ar iscript 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. .It Fl P Ar dpkgs Set the initial package dependency list to .Ar dpkgs (deprecated). .It Fl C Ar cpkgs Set the initial package conflict list to .Ar cpkgs (deprecated). .It Fl p Ar prefix Set .Ar prefix as the initial directory .Dq base to start from in selecting files for the package, and to record as the base for installing the package. .It Fl S Ar pkg-destdir .It Fl B Ar pkg-destdir Set .Ar pkg-destdir as the prefix to prepend to any file to select for the package. Prefer .Fl B . .It Fl L Ar localbase Record .Ar localbase as the localbase used in the package. By default, .Pa /usr/local . Packages built with another localbase can only be installed by using the same localbase in .Xr pkg_add 1 , to prevent errors. .It Fl k Ar dscript Set .Ar dscript 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. .It Fl r Ar rscript Set .Ar rscript to be the .Dq requirements procedure for the package. This can be any executable program (or shell script). It will be invoked automatically at installation/deinstallation time to determine whether or not installation/deinstallation should proceed. .It Fl D Ar displayfile Display the file (using .Xr more 1 ) after installing the package. Useful for things like legal notices on almost-free software, etc. .El .Sh PACKING LIST DETAILS The .Dq packing list format (see .Fl f ) is fairly simple, being basically a list of filenames and directory names to include in the package. .Pp Directory names are denoted by a trailing slash. .Pp There are a few annotations that can be inserted for better control. All these commands start with an .Sq @ . Here is a list: .Bl -tag -width indent .It Cm @file Ar filename Default annotation, to use if .Ar filename begins with @. .Ar filename is always a relative path, relative to the current .Cm @cwd . .It Cm @arch Ar arches List of architectures for which this package is intended. .It Cm @cwd Ar pathname Set the package current directory. All subsequent filenames will be assumed relative to .Ar pathname . .It Cm @exec Ar command Execute .Ar command during .Xr pkg_add 1 . If .Ar command contains any of the following sequences somewhere in it, they will be expanded inline. For the following examples, assume that .Cm @cwd is set to .Pa /usr/local and the last extracted file was .Pa bin/emacs . .Bl -tag -width indent .It Cm "\&%F" Expands to the last filename extracted (as specified); in the example case, .Pa bin/emacs . .It Cm "\&%D" Expands to the current directory prefix, as set with .Cm @cwd ; in the example case .Pa /usr/local . .It Cm "\&%B" Expands to the .Dq basename of the fully qualified filename, that is the current directory prefix, plus the last filespec, minus the trailing filename. In the example case, that would be .Pa /usr/local/bin . .It Cm "\&%f" Expands to the .Dq filename part of the fully qualified name, or the converse of .Cm \&%B ; in the example case, .Pa emacs . .El .It Cm @unexec Ar command Execute .Ar command during .Xr pkg_delete 1 . Expansion of special .Cm \&% sequences is the same as for .Cm @exec . .It Cm @mode Ar mode Set default permission for all subsequently extracted files to .Ar mode . Format is the same as that used by the .Xr chmod 1 command. Use without an arg to set back to default (extraction) permissions. .It Cm @owner Ar user Set default ownership for all subsequently extracted files to .Ar user . Use without an arg to set back to default (extraction) ownership. .It Cm @group Ar group Set default group ownership for all subsequently extracted files to .Ar group . Use without an arg to set back to default (extraction) group ownership. .It Cm @comment Ar string Imbed a comment in the packing list. Useful in trying to document some particularly hairy sequence that may trip someone up later. .It Cm @ignore Used internally to tell extraction to ignore the next file (don't copy it anywhere), as it's used for some special purpose. .It Cm @localbase Ar base Used internally to record the settings of .Fl L option. .It Cm @name Ar pkgname Set the name of the package. 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 .Nm will derive this field from the package name and add it automatically if none is given. .It Cm @dir Ar directoryname Create directory .Pa directoryname at .Xr pkg_add 1 time, taking .Cm @mode , .Cm @group , .Cm @owner into account, and remove it during .Xr pkg_delete 1 . Directories to remove can be shared between packages. If .Ar name does not begin with an @, same as .Bd -literal -offset name/ .Ed .It Cm @dirrm Ar directoryname Declare directory .Pa directoryname to be deleted at deinstall time. Deprecated, use .Bd -literal -offset directoryname/ .Ed instead, as it handles proper directory creation as well. .It Cm @extra Ar file Declare extra file .Pa file to be deleted at deinstall time, if user sets .Fl c option. Those files are extra configuration files that are normally not deleted. .Ar file can be an absolute path. If .Pa file ends with a slash, it is a directory. .It Cm @extraunexec Ar command Extra .Ar command to execute when removing extra files. .It Cm @sample Ar filename Last preceding .Cm @file item is a sample configuration file, to be copied to .Ar filename at .Xr pkg_add 1 time and to be removed at .Xr pkg_delete 1 time. During installation, existing configuration files are untouched. During deinstallation, configuration files are only removed if unchanged. .Ar filename can be an absolute path. If .Ar filename ends with a slash, it refers to a configuration directory instead. .It Cm @display Ar name Declare .Pa name as the file to be displayed at install time (see .Fl D above). .It Cm @pkgdep Ar pkgname Declare a dependency on the .Ar pkgname package. The .Ar pkgname package must be installed before this package may be installed, and this package must be deinstalled before the .Ar pkgname package is deinstalled. Multiple .Cm @pkgdep directives may be used if the package depends on multiple other packages. .It Cm @pkgcfl Ar pkgcflname Declare a conflict to the .Ar pkgcflname package. The .Ar pkgcflname package must .Em not be installed if .Ar pkgname package gets installed because they install the same files and thus conflict. .Ar pkgcflname may use .Xr fnmatch 3 wildcards. .It Cm @option Ar name Effects vary depending on .Ar name . Some options are not documented yet. .Bl -tag -width indent .It Ar no-default-conflict By default, a package conflicts with other versions of the same package. With this option, the older package version will still be noticed, but the installation will proceed anyway. .El .El .Sh ENVIRONMENT .Bl -tag -width PKG_DESTDIR .It Ev PKG_DESTDIR Default value for .Ar pkg-destdir , if no .Fl B or .Fl S option is specified. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr pkg_add 1 , .Xr pkg_delete 1 , .Xr pkg_info 1 , .Xr tar 1 , .Xr sysconf 3 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm command first appeared in .Fx . .Sh AUTHORS .Bl -tag -width indent -compact .It "Jordan Hubbard" initial design .It "Marc Espie" complete rewrite. .El
