NAME
sourcepkg - Generate and compile source package
files.
SYNOPSIS
sourcepkg [ --create ] [
--build srcpkgfile ]
DESCRIPTION
sourcepkg generates and compiles
package files of a different format that the rest of the pkg
tools use. In order to generate a pkg-compliant binary package
file, a developer may perform the makepkg command on the
current directory, the buildpkg command on a build
instruction file, or the sourcepkg --build command on a
source package file. Source packages are essentially the tarred
equivalents of the buildpkg directories where build files are
kept, so they contain all of the source files required to
actually perform the build.
OPTIONS
- --create
- When this option is specified, sourcepkg will
generate a source package file using the contents of the
current working directory.
- --build srcpkgfile
- This option will cause sourcepkg to extract the
source files from a given source package file and compile them
into a binary package file.
