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: https://git.crux.nu:82/farkuhar/prt-get/issues/ More information: ----------------- See the man pages for prt-get(8), prt-get.conf(5) and prt-cache(8) for more information. The CRUX homepage also offers a (somewhat dated) User Manual and Quick Start guide: https://crux.nu/doc/prt-get%20-%20User%20Manual.html https://crux.nu/doc/prt-get%20-%20Quick%20start.html "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 suffers no harm). The reason for this is because the additional checking slows down the application too much.
