A Powerful Web Interface for Pkg:
|
|
|
The Pkg package manager, a tool I wrote to manage the
binary packages for a distribution, supports remote
package repositories (in their most simple sense). The
PHPkg web interface provides a simple, powerful way to
browse any remote repository's packages, and even to
search for dependencies.
In a nutshell, PHPkg is a set of PHP (4 and 5) scripts
that provide a simple, straightforward web interface
for any HTTP server that stores Pkg-compliant package
repositories.

. Again, PHPkg needs repositories which are
managed by the Pkg scripts. For more info on Pkg, see

How to Set up PHPkg on a Server:
|
|
|
PHPkg requires a web server running PHP4 or PHP5,
a few KB of webspace, and one or more hosted Pkg
repositories. First, just copy all of the
files in src/ into the web server root (or another
hosted directory).
The Pkg repositories that PHPkg will interface with
must be available on the local filesystem of the web
server hosting the PHPkg scripts. On systems whose
repositories are being managed by the Pkg scripts
(highly recommended), there will be a file called
'repos.conf' in the /etc/pkg directory. You may
either copy this file into the directory holding the
PHPkg scripts, or leave it where it is. Second,
edit the first few lines of the 'phpkg.php' file to
point to the 'repos.conf' that you wish to use. (See
'phpkg.php' for more information.
That should do it! Once the above changes have been
made, the PHPkg interface should be set up. For any
extra info, email me at
