This is a package manager inspired by slackware's slackpkg for the linux from scratch system.



This app will build, install,remove and update packages and also allow you to search for a particular file within installed packages, find an installed package and create a template file to build and install/upgrade a package.



This is a source based package manager and no dependency checking is done.



The dialog application is required.

EXAMPLES

 

Build and install a package from the current directory:

	lfspkg -n "SomePackage" -p "6.6.6" -d "DEV" -b 34 -c



Build a package from the current directory and save to /some/other/tmp:

	OUTPUT=/some/other/tmp lfspkg -n "SomePackage" -p "6.6.6" -m



Install a package:

	lfspkg "/media/SkyNet/UpdatedPakckages/wget-1.14-1_NET_LFSPKG.tar.gz" -i

 

Create a template script based on an archive file name:

	lfspkg -t wget-1.14.tar.gz



Find a file in an installed package:

	lfspkg -f wget

	 ...

	wget Found in package: wget-1.14-2_NET_LFSPKG

	At these locations:

	 ./etc/wgetrc

	 ./usr/share/man/man1/wget.1

	 ./usr/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/wget.mo

	 ...

	 ./usr/share/info/wget.info

	 ./usr/bin/wget

	 ...



Find an installed package:

	lfspkg wget



	Matches for:wget

	wget-1.14-1_NET_LFSPKG



Remove a package:

	lfspkg -r wget



If you use the template script when you want to update a package just place the new archive in the same folder as the script alter the version number in the script and run ( using wget for instance )



	sudo ./wget.LFSBuild upgrade



The package will be rebuilt and you will be asked which package to upgrade.



When removing a package or listing the contents of a package you will be asked to choose from a list of possible matches.

You must have admin priviliges to install or remove files but you do not need to be root to just build a package.
