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 to include in the package. 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 @arch Ar arches List of architectures for which this package is intended. .It Cm @cwd Ar directory Set the internal directory pointer to point to .Ar directory . All subsequent filenames will be assumed relative to this directory. Note: .Cm @cd is also an alias for this command. .It Cm @exec Ar command Execute .Ar command as part of the unpacking process. 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 as part of the deinstallation process. Expansion of special .Cm \&% sequences is the same as for .Cm @exec . This command is not executed during the package add, as .Cm @exec 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 contents (and hence not automatically removable). The advantage of using .Cm @unexec over a deinstallation script is that you can use the .Dq special sequence expansion to get at files regardless of where they've been potentially redirected (see .Fl p ) . .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 .Cm chmod command (well, considering that it's later handed off to it, that's no surprise). 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 Used internally to record the settings of .Fl L option. .It Cm @name Ar name 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 .Nm will derive this field from the package name and add it automatically if none is given. .It Cm @dir Ar name Create directory .Pa name at install time, taking @mode, @group, @owner into account, and remove it at deinstall time. .It Cm @dirrm Ar name Declare directory .Pa name to be deleted at deinstall time. By default, directories created by a package installation are not deleted when the package is deinstalled; this provides an explicit directory cleanup method. The .Pa name directory will not be removed unless it is empty after the package is de-installed. Directories to remove can be shared between packages. .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. 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 @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
