PRT-GET OVERVIEW:

(Johannes Winkelmann, jw@tks6.net)





Description:

------------

prt-get is a utility which is meant to be used with the pkgutils and

ports from crux (http://crux.nu). It offers some simplification over

pure pkgmk, but might hide some interesting details about the install

process. 



Installing:

-----------

Download an iso of the latest CRUX release for a precompiled package.

Otherwise, build from the sources in this repository.



prt-get has to know where to look for ports. You can specify those in

/etc/prt-get.conf, one directory per line. Note that the order

matters, when the same port is in multiple direcories

(e.g. /usr/ports/contrib/mutt and /usr/ports/local/mutt), the one

found _first_ will be used.



Feel free to file a bug report on the Gitea issue tracker:

----------------

See the man pages for prt-get(8), prt-get.conf(5) and prt-cache for more

information. The CRUX homepage also offers a (somewhat dated) User Manual

and Quick Start guide:

"it must be user error" (thinkgeek)

-----------------------------------



port directories may only contain ports, or else prt-get can fail (which

means that nothing is installed, your system takes no harm). The reason

for this is because the additional checking slows down the application

too much
