Use .Sq * to mean any architecture (e.g., arch-independent packages). .It Fl B Ar pkg-destdir Set .Ar pkg-destdir as the prefix to prepend to any file to select for the package. .It Fl c No [-] Ns Ar desc Fetch package .Dq one line description from file .Ar desc or, if preceded by .Sq - , 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 name Ns = Ns Ar value Define .Ar name to .Ar value , for substitution and fragment inclusion purposes. .It Fl d No [-] Ns Ar desc Fetch long description for package from file .Ar desc or, if preceded by .Sq - , the argument itself. .It Fl f Ar packinglist Fetch .Dq packing list for package from the file .Ar packinglist . Several packing-lists can be mentioned, in which case they will be concatenated together. .It Fl i Ar iscript Set .Ar iscript to be the install procedure for the package (deprecated, use .Cm @exec instead). This can be any executable program (or shell script). It will be invoked automatically when the package is later installed. .It Fl k Ar dscript Set .Ar dscript to be the de-install procedure for the package (deprecated, use .Cm @unexec instead). 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 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 M Ar displayfile Display the file (using .Xr more 1 ) after installing the package. Useful for things like legal notices on almost-free software, etc. .It Fl n Don't actually create a package. .It Fl P Ar pkg-dependency Specify a .Cm @depend dependency on the command line. .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 Q Print out the files in the actual packing-list of the package being generated, with explicit typing .Pq e.g. Cm @file , @lib , ... . .It Fl q Print out the actual packing-list of the package being generated (query mode). Most often used in combination with .Fl n . .It Fl S Ar pkg-destdir Set .Ar pkg-destdir as the prefix to prepend to any file to select for the package. This option is identical to the .Fl B option; however the .Fl B option is preferred. .It Fl U Ar undisplayfile Display the file (using .Xr more 1 ) when deinstalling the package. Useful for reminders about stuff to clean up. .It Fl v Turn on verbose output. .It Fl W Ar wantedlib Specify a .Cm @wantlib requirement on the command line. .El .Pp .Nm can also be invoked with only the packing-list from an installed package. It will recreate the corresponding binary package in the current directory from the installation, or error out if any problem is found. For example, the following will recreate a .Pa kdelibs-3.4.3.tgz package: .Bd -literal -offset indent pkg_create -f /var/db/pkg/kdelibs-3.4.3/+CONTENTS .Ed .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 Substitution of variables and inclusion of fragments is documented in the next section. .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: .Pp .Bl -tag -width Ds -compact .Pp .It Cm @arch Ar arches List of architectures for which this package is intended. .Pp .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. Can also be used to comment out elements that update-plist .Pq see Xr bsd.port.mk 5 will insist in inserting in a packing-list. .Pp The special comment .Cm @comment Ar "no checksum" can be used to tag the next file as special: even though its characteristics will be recorded in the package, it can be altered after installation, and .Xr pkg_delete 1 will still delete it. .Pp .It Cm @conflict Ar pkgspec Declare a conflict with packages matching .Ar pkgspec .Pq see Xr packages-specs 7 . The .Ar pkgname package can .Em not be installed if a package matching .Ar pkgspec has been installed because they install the same files and thus conflict. .Pp .It Cm @cwd Ar pathname Set the package current directory. All subsequent filenames will be assumed relative to .Ar pathname . .Pp .It Xo .Cm @depend .Sm off .Ar pkgpath : .Ar pkgspec : .Ar default .Sm on .Xc Declare a dependency on a package matching .Ar pkgspec .Pq see Xr packages-specs 7 . An appropriate package must be installed before this package may be installed, and this package must be deinstalled before this package is deinstalled. The dependency also contains a .Ar pkgpath (see .Ev FULLPKGPATH in .Xr bsd.port.mk 5 ) and a .Ar default package name, in case there is no listing of available packages. .Pp .It Cm @dir Ar directoryname Create directory .Pa directoryname at .Xr pkg_add 1 time, taking .Cm @mode , .Cm @group , and .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 .Dl name/ .Pp .It Cm @dirrm Ar directoryname Declare directory .Pa directoryname to be deleted at deinstall time. Deprecated, use .Dl directoryname/ instead, as it handles proper directory creation as well. .Pp .It Cm @display Ar name Declare .Pa name as the file to be displayed at install time (see .Fl M above). .Pp .It Cm @endfake Mark end of packing-list for .Xr pkg_add 1 .Fl Q option. .Pp .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 "\&%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 "\&%D" Expands to the current directory prefix, as set with .Cm @cwd ; in the example case .Pa /usr/local . .It Cm "\&%F" Expands to the last filename extracted (as specified); in the example case, .Pa bin/emacs . .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 .Pp .It Cm @extra Ar filename Declare extra file .Pa filename to be deleted at deinstall time, if user sets the .Fl c option. Those files are extra configuration files that are normally not deleted. .Ar filename can be an absolute path. If .Pa filename ends with a slash, it is a directory. .Pp .It Cm @extraunexec Ar command Extra .Ar command to execute when removing extra files. .Pp .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 . .Pp .It Cm @fontdir Ar directoryname Specialized version of .Cm @dir , to handle font directories: create .Pa font.alias from .Pa font.alias-* fragments, execute .Xr mkfontdir 1 , .Xr fc-cache 1 when needed. Delete extra files at .Xr pkg_delete 1 time. .Pp .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. .Pp .It Cm @ignore Was used internally to tell extraction to ignore the next file. No longer needed. .Pp .It Cm @info Ar filename Specialized version of .Cm @file , to handle GNU info files. Automatically grab .Pa filename-* chapter files, run .Xr install-info 1 as needed. .Pp .It Cm @lib Ar filename Specialized version of .Cm @file , to handle shared libraries. Satisfy LIB_DEPENDS, run .Xr ldconfig 8 as needed. .Pp .It Cm @link Ar name Added after a file entry by .Nm to record that the entry is actually a hard link. .Pp .It Cm @localbase Ar base Used internally to record the settings of .Fl L option. .Pp .It Cm @man Ar filename Specialized version of .Cm @file , to handle manual pages. .Pp .It Cm @mandir Ar directoryname Specialized version of .Cm @dir , to handle manual directories: instruct user to add/remove the directory to .Xr man.conf 5 , remove .Xr apropos 1 database when needed. .Pp .It Cm @md5 Added after a file entry by .Nm to record the files's cryptographic checksum. .Pp .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. .Pp .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. .Pp .It Cm @newgroup Ar name : Ns Ar gid During .Xr pkg_add 1 , create a new group, using .Xr groupadd 8 . Happens before file and user creations. .Ar gid can be prefixed with a .Sq !\& to ensure group has the correct GID. During .Xr pkg_delete 1 , groups will be deleted if extra clean-up has been requested, and if other installed packages don't list the same group. .Pp .It Xo .Cm @newuser .Sm off .Ar name : .Ar uid : .Ar group : .Ar loginclass : .Ar comment : .Ar home : .Ar shell .Sm on .Xc During .Xr pkg_add 1 , create a new user. Happens before any file creation. All fields correspond to .Xr useradd 8 parameters. Some fields are optional and can be left empty. If the user already exists, no action is taken. Individual fields can be prefixed by a .Sq !\& to make sure an existing user matches. For instance, the directive .Li @newuser foo:!42 will make sure user foo has UID 42. During .Xr pkg_delete 1 , users will be deleted if extra clean-up has been requested, and if other installed packages don't list the same user. .Pp .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 .Pp .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. .Pp .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. Deprecated, use .Cm @conflict instead. .Pp .It Cm @pkgpath Ar pkgpath Declare an extra .Ar pkgpath for the package. This is used for updates: .Nm pkg_add .Fl u normally checks that the .Ar pkgpath embedded in the package corresponds to the old package, to solve ambiguities when packages with similar names are involved. When ports get renamed, or flavors change, extra .Cm @pkgpath annotations can help .Nm pkg_add get a sense of continuity. .Pp .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. .Pp .It Cm @shell Ar filename Specialized version of .Cm @file , to handle shells. See .Xr shells 5 . .Pp .It Cm @size Added after a file entry by .Nm to record a file size. .Pp .It Cm @symlink Ar name Added after a file entry by .Nm to record that the entry is actually a symbolic link. .Pp .It Cm @sysctl Ar var Ns = Ns Ar val .It Cm @sysctl Ar var Ns \*(Ge Ns Ar val During .Xr pkg_add 1 , check that .Xr sysctl 8 variable .Ar var is set to exactly/at least a given value .Ar val . Adjust it otherwise. .Pp .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 . .Pp .It Cm @wantlib Ar libspec Package needs a shared library to work. .Ar libspec is .Sq name.major.minor or .Sq path/name.major.minor . The package won't be installed unless a library with the same name, the exact same major number and at least the same minor number can be located. A library without path is searched through dependent packages under the same .Ar localbase , then in the system libraries under .Pa /usr/lib and .Pa /usr/X11R6/lib . A library with a path is only searched through dependent packages, that path being relative to .Ar localbase . .El .Sh VARIABLE SUBSTITUTION AND FRAGMENT INCLUSION In packing-lists, installation, deinstallation and requirement scripts, description and message files, constructs like .Li ${VAR} will be replaced with the variable value, according to .Fl D Ar name Ns = Ns Ar value options. .Pp Constructs like .Li %%VAR%% and .Li !%%VAR%% trigger fragment inclusion. If such a line is encountered in a packing-list, the corresponding variable must be defined to 0 or 1. If the variable's value is 1, .Li %%VAR%% will be replaced by the corresponding positive fragment, and .Li !%%VAR%% will be ignored. If the variable's value is 0, .Li %%VAR%% will be ignored, and .Li !%%VAR%% will be replaced by the corresponding positive fragment. .Pp A fragment is an auxiliary packing-list file, whose name is derived from the current packing-list, and the variable name .Va VAR triggering the inclusion: .Pa pkg/PLIST yields a positive fragment .Pa pkg/PFRAG.VAR and a negative fragment .Pa pkg/PFRAG.no-VAR , .Pa pkg/PLIST-FOO yields a positive fragment .Pa pkg/PFRAG.VAR-foo and a negative fragment .Pa pkg/PFRAG.no-VAR-foo . .Pp Fragments can be included inside fragments, so that .Li %%VAR2%% inside .Pa pkg/PFRAG.VAR triggers the inclusion of .Pa pkg/PFRAG.VAR2-VAR and .Li !%%VAR2%% triggers the inclusion of .Pa pkg/PFRAG.no-VAR2-VAR . .Pp If a positive or a negative fragment file does not exist, the corresponding inclusion will be ignored. However, if both the positive and negative fragment files do not exist, .Nm will error out, to make it easier to spot fragment names errors. .Pp As a special historical exception, the variable .Va SHARED_LIBS controls the inclusion of fragments .Pa PFRAG.shared and .Pa PFRAG.no-shared through the lines .Li %%SHARED%% and .Li !%%SHARED%% . .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 bsd.port.mk 5 , .Xr package 5 , .Xr packages-specs 7 , .Xr ports 7 .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
