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.
