OVERVIEW
========
`pkgmk` is a package build utility that creates installable software
packages.
This project is a fork of CRUX `pkgmk` (part of `pkgutils`), starting
from commit 9ca0da6 (Sat Nov 17 2018), with the following key
differences:
* POSIX `sh(1p)` (with `local` support) instead of `bash(1)`
* Support of suckless `sbase`
* Optional downloader support: `aria2c(1)` in addition to
`curl(1)`/`wget(1)`
* Manual pages in `scdoc(5)` format, including new ones:
* `pkgmk.32bit(5)`
* `pkgmk.Pkgfile(5)`
* `pkgmk.footprint(5)`
* `pkgmk.md5sum(5)`
* `pkgmk.nostrip(5)`
* Bash completion
* Removed options: `-i`, `-u`, `-r`, `-in`
* Removed `signify(1)` support
* GNU-style options, help, and usage
* Support for `zstd`-compressed packages
* Ability to rename downloaded tarballs
* Ignore extended attributes when extracting tarballs
* Configure archive formats for created packages
* Use pigz(1) for both manpage and archive compression if available
in PATH
See git log for full history.
