NAME
buildpkg - build system packages from source.
SYNOPSIS
buildpkg
[
-h, --help
]
[
-v, --verbose
]
[
-u, --clean-source
]
buildfile
DESCRIPTION
buildpkg
uses *.build files to generate package files from source. In the event that
the specified
buildfile
is a nonexistant file,
buildpkg
will create it for later editing and will fill it with default
values. (This is the recommended method for creating build files)
OPTIONS
- -h, --help
-
When this option is specified,
buildpkg
will print its own usage instructions and exit.
- -v, --verbose
-
This option will cause
buildpkg
to output more information about the build process than usual. In particular,
this can be useful when a package's build process fails at a given point not
clearly identifiable by regular output.
- -u, --clean-source
-
This option causes
buildpkg
to remove the source tarball from the build directory after the package has
been built. This is not really useful, unless the source tarball in question
is
guaranteed
to exist online for the entire duration of its use.
SOURCE FILES
buildpkg
looks in the current working directory for source tarballs and patches. If
the source tarball doesn't exist in that location,
buildpkg
will attempt to download it from the URL given in the build file.
