INTRODUCTION
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
pkg-get is a package / repository management tool for CRUX Linux.
|
|
Syntax and features are very close (often a carbon copy)
|
|
to the ones found in the port management tool 'prt-get'
|
|
by Johannes Winkelmann.
|
|
In fact pkg-get was developed as a prt-get/ports drop-in replacement
|
|
for systems in which it is preferable to handle binary packages instead
|
|
of compiling ports.
|

|
ARCHITECTURE
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
The local machines sync metadata files (available packages,
|
|
readme files, dependencies, etc) from a remote (http or ftp)
|
|
OR a local path.
|
|
Once the metadata is present on the local machine, the usual
|
|
operations of installing, removing, getting info on packages
|
|
are available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
QUICK START
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Server:
|
|
A repository can be generated using 'pkg-repgen' in a
|
|
dir containing packages. It will take a while since md5sums
|
|
have to be calculated.
|
|
|
|
Client:
|
|
Adjust settings in /etc/pkg-get.conf, then use the 'pkg-get sync'
|
|
command to gather metadata from the server (if remote). You can now
|
|
use the commands as described in the manual, i.e.:
|
|
|
|
pkg-get info apache
|
|
pkg-get depinst kdebase
|
|
pkg-get listinst
|
|
|
|
See the manual page for a detailed list of commands and options.
