# The Pacote Package Manager

"Pacote" (Portuguese for "package", pronounced  /pɐˈkɔ.tɨ/) is a set of

SVR4-compatible package managenment tools, but made in a modernist and cleaner

way.   

This originally was created as a project with the intent of learning the Go

programming language and (re)documenting the SVR4 package manager specification,

but it is really meant to be a solid, modern and safe implementation of the SVR4

package manager for the 21st century, working as a base for any extensions that

can be made in any language that supports calling commands from the PATH.

Everything here is a big "TO DO", since it's part of a [really big

project](http://copacabana.pindorama.dob.jp) and we do not have enough workforce

to fight in all the fronts simultaniously, so there are things that could've been

made in some days and that took literal months to get done --- not even talking

about fixes that would need to be made.

## You can read more about it in READMEs below:  

* :brazil: [README.pt.markdown (original)](./docs/README.pt.markdown);

* :us: [README.en.markdown](./docs/README.en.markdown);

* :jp: [README.jp.markdown (TO DO)](./docs/README.jp.markdown);

* :taiwan: [README.zh\_TW.markdown (TO DO)](./docs/README.zh_TW.markdown).

There is also the official documentation, which is served at

https://tabula.pindorama.dob.jp/pacote and has its source at the

[Silicon Tabula](https://github.com/Projeto-Pindorama/Silicon-Tabula) repository.

## Quick information: file formats

* `.e`: 0 bytes file that means literally "exists", add it to a empty directory

  that need in some way to appear in git's source tree;

* `.markdown`: Markdown files;

* `.go`: Source code for programs written in the Go programming language;

* `.ksh`: ksh file script;

* `.pdf`: PDF document (please, use DjVu);

* `.djvu`: DjVu document.

## Implementation status

This project currently implements the following tools:  

  

    Command

    Description

    Status

  

  

    pkgproto(1)

    Generate a prototype(4) file for input to the

pkgmk(1) command.

    W.I.P.; Almost finished, lacks the ability to alias directories properly

  

  

    pkginfo(1)

    Display software package information.

    W.I.P.; parser done

  

The following tools shall be implemented in coming days, weeks, months or, in

the worst case scenario, years.  

  

    Command

    Description

    Status

  

  

    pkgmk(1)

    Create an software package.

    Planning

  

  

    pkgadd(8)

    Install a software package.

    Planning

  

  

    pkgrm(8)

    Remove a software package.

    Planning

  

  

    pkgask(8)

    Store answers to a request script.

    Planning

  

  

    pkgtrans(1)

    "Translate" packages between datastream formats.
According to the

specification, it is used for
copying packages into a distribution

medium.

    Planning

  

  

    pkgchk(8)

    Check if a package is impartial.

    Planning

  

  

    pkginfo(1)

    Displays information about a software package.
This shall be simple,

since it is only based on
parsing the pkginfo(5) file from a

package.

    W.I.P.

  

  

    pkgparam(1)

    Displays package parameters, declared at pkginfo(5).
In fact,

it's basically like pkginfo(1), but it displays
the file instead of

parsing it for displaying separate values.
This shall also be simple.

    Planning

  

  

    installf(8)

    Installs files into an already installed software package.
In theory,

this basically just edits the database and copies
the file to the file

system.

    Planning

  

  

    removef(8)

    Removes files from an already installed software package.
In theory,

this also just edits the database and deletes
the file in the file

system.
