PKG_TARUP(1) BSD General Commands Manual PKG_TARUP(1)NAMEpkg_tarup — utility for tarring up installed software packages
SYNOPSISpkg_tarup [-a] [-d pkgrepository] [-f filebase] [-K pkg_dbdir]
[-s pkg_sufx] pkg-name-or-pattern [...]
DESCRIPTION
The pkg_tarup command is used to create a binary package from an
installed package. It can be used to tar up one or more packages,
including dependent packages, if desired.
The following options are available:
-a Create packages for all dependent packages too.
-d pkgrepository
Set pkgrepository as the destination directory for the created
package file(s). If this option isn't specified, then /tmp is
used.
-K pkg_dbdir
Set pkg_dbdir as the package database directory. If this option
isn't specified, then the package database directory is taken
from the value of the environment variable PKG_DBDIR if it is
set, otherwise it defaults to /var/db/pkg.
-s pkg_sufx
Set pkg_sufx as the extension used for the created package
file(s). If this option isn't specified, then .tgz
-f filebase
By default filename for created package looks like this
${pkgbase}-${pkgversion}${pkg_sufx}
This option allows to use filebase instead of ${pkgbase}.
ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variables affect the execution of pkg_tarup:
PREFIX Package binaries installation prefix used to build the path.
Defaults to /usr/pkg.
ECHO, ID, SED, SU_CMD, GREP
Actual commands to use. These default to echo, /usr/bin/id,
/usr/bin/sed, /usr/bin/su - root -c, and /usr/bin/grep.
PKG_DBDIR
If the -K flag isn't given, then PKG_DBDIR is the location of the
package database directory. The default package database direc‐
tory is /var/db/pkg.
PKG_SUFX
If the -s flag isn't given, then PKG_SUFX is the suffix of the
created package file. The default is .tgz.
PKGREPOSITORY
If the -d flag isn't given, then PKGREPOSITORY is the destination
directory for the created package file(s). The default is /tmp.
Any variable that affects pkg_info(1) or pkg_create(1).
EXIT STATUS
The pkg_tarup utility exits 0 on success and 1 on errors.
SEE ALSOpkg_create(1), pkg_info(1), pkgsrc(7)BUGS
Packages that contain files with spaces in their names probably won't
work. There is no way to safely tell pkg_create(1) about these files.
