# The xPack NixOS patchelf
A standalone cross-platform (macOS/Linux) **NixOS patchelf**
binary distribution, intended for reproducible builds.
The main target is GNU/Linux, to adjust `DT_RPATH.
In addition to the the binary archives and the package meta data,
this project also includes the build scripts.
## Overview
This open source project is hosted on GitHub as
[`xpack-dev-tools/patchelf-xpack`](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/patchelf-xpack)
and provides the platform specific binaries for the
[xPack NixOS patchelf](https://xpack.github.io/patchelf/).
This distribution follows the official
[NixOS patchelf](https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/releases/) releases.
The binaries can be installed automatically as **binary xPacks** or manually as
**portable archives**.
## Release schedule
This distribution generally follows the upstream releases.
## User info
This section is intended as a shortcut for those who plan
to use the NixOS patchelf binaries. For full details please read the
[xPack NixOS patchelf](https://xpack.github.io/patchelf/) pages.
### Easy install
The easiest way to install NixOS patchelf is using the **binary xPack**, available as
[`@xpack-dev-tools/patchelf`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@xpack-dev-tools/patchelf)
from the [`npmjs.com`](https://www.npmjs.com) registry.
#### Prerequisites
A recent [xpm](https://xpack.github.io/xpm/),
which is a portable [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) command line application
that complements [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com)
with several extra features specific to
**C/C++ projects**.
It is recommended to install/update to the latest version with:
```sh
npm install --location=global xpm@latest
```
For details please follow the instructions in the
[xPack install](https://xpack.github.io/install/) page.
#### Install
With the `xpm` tool available, installing
the latest version of the package and adding it as
a development dependency for a project is quite easy:
```sh
cd my-project
xpm init # Add a package.json if not already present
xpm install @xpack-dev-tools/patchelf@latest --verbose
ls -l xpacks/.bin
```
This command will:
- install the latest available version,
into the central xPacks store, if not already there
- add symbolic links to the central store into
the local `xpacks/.bin` folder.
The central xPacks store is a platform dependent
location in the home folder;
check the output of the `xpm` command for the actual
folder used on your platform.
This location is configurable via the environment variable
`XPACKS_STORE_FOLDER`; for more details please check the
[xpm folders](https://xpack.github.io/xpm/folders/) page.
It is also possible to install NixOS patchelf globally, in the user home folder:
```sh
xpm install --global @xpack-dev-tools/patchelf@latest --verbose
```
After install, the package should create a structure like this (macOS files;
only the first two depth levels are shown):
```console
$ tree -L 2 /Users/ilg/Library/xPacks/\@xpack-dev-tools/patchelf/0.18.0-1.1/.content/
/Users/ilg/Library/xPacks/\@xpack-dev-tools/patchelf/0.18.0-1.1/.content/

│ ├── licenses

│ └── scripts
└── share

└── zsh
9 directories, 3 files
```
No other files are installed in any system folders or other locations.
#### Uninstall
The binaries are distributed as portable archives; thus they do not need
to run a setup and do not require an uninstall; simply removing the
folder is enough.
To remove the links created by xpm in the current project:
```sh
cd my-project
xpm uninstall @xpack-dev-tools/patchelf
```
To completely remove the package from the central xPack store:
```sh
xpm uninstall --global @xpack-dev-tools/patchelf
```
### Manual install
For all platforms, the **xPack NixOS patchelf**
binaries are released as portable
archives that can be installed in any location.
The archives can be downloaded from the
GitHub [Releases](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/patchelf-xpack/releases/)
page.
For more details please read the
[Install](https://xpack.github.io/patchelf/install/) page.
### Versioning
The version strings used by the NixOS patchelf project are three number strings
like `0.18.0`;
to this string the xPack distribution adds a four number,
but since semver allows only three numbers, all additional ones can
be added only as pre-release strings, separated by a dash,
like `0.18.0-1`. When published as a npm package, the version gets
a fifth number, like `0.18.0-1.1`.
Since adherence of third party packages to semver is not guaranteed,
it is recommended to use semver expressions like `^0.18.0` and `~0.18.0`
with caution, and prefer exact matches, like `0.18.0-1.1`.
