.TH pkgadd 8 "" "pkgutils #VERSION#" ""
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
pkgadd \- install software package
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBpkgadd [options] <file>\fP
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBpkgadd\fP is a \fIpackage management\fP utility, which installs
|
|
a software package. A \fIpackage\fP is an archive of files (.pkg.tar.gz).
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B "\-u, \-\-upgrade"
|
|
Upgrade/replace package with the same name as <file>.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B "\-f, \-\-force"
|
|
Force installation, overwrite conflicting files. If the package
|
|
that is about to be installed contains files that are already
|
|
installed this option will cause all those files to be overwritten.
|
|
This option should be used with care, preferably not at all.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B "\-r, \-\-root <path>"
|
|
Specify alternative installation root (default is "/"). This
|
|
should \fInot\fP be used as a way to install software into
|
|
e.g. /usr/local instead of /usr. Instead this should be used
|
|
if you want to install a package on a temporary mounted partition,
|
|
which is "owned" by another system. By using this option you not only
|
|
specify where the software should be installed, but you also
|
|
specify which package database to use.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B "\-v, \-\-version"
|
|
Print version and exit.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B "\-h, \-\-help"
|
|
Print help and exit.
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION
|
|
When using \fBpkgadd\fP in upgrade mode (i.e. option -u is used) the
|
|
file \fI/etc/pkgadd.conf\fP will be read. This file can contain rules describing
|
|
how pkgadd should behave when doing upgrades. A rule is built out of three
|
|
fragments, \fIevent\fP, \fIpattern\fP and \fIaction\fP. The event describes
|
|
in what kind of situation this rule applies. Currently only one type of event is
|
|
supported, that is \fBUPGRADE\fP. The pattern is a regular expression and the action
|
|
applicable to the \fBUPGRADE\fP event is \fBYES\fP and \fBNO\fP. More than one rule of the same
|
|
event type is allowed, in which case the first rule will have the lowest priority and the last rule
|
|
will have the highest priority. Example:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
UPGRADE ^etc/.*$ NO
|
|
UPGRADE ^var/log/.*$ NO
|
|
UPGRADE ^etc/X11/.*$ YES
|
|
UPGRADE ^etc/X11/XF86Config$ NO
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
The above example will cause pkgadd to never upgrade anything in /etc/ or /var/log/ (subdirectories included),
|
|
except files in /etc/X11/ (subdirectories included), unless it is the file /etc/X11/XF86Config.
|
|
The default rule is to upgrade everything, rules in this file are exceptions to that rule.
|
|
(NOTE! A \fIpattern\fP should never contain an initial "/" since you are referring to the files in the
|
|
package, not the files on the disk.)
|
|
|
|
If pkgadd finds that a specific file should not be upgraded it will install it under \fI/var/lib/pkg/rejected/\fP.
|
|
The user is then free to examine/use/remove that file manually.
