A package flavor is a packaging system that is supported by pkgsrc.
|
||
|
|
Currently, there is only one (the native pkgsrc tools), but maybe we can
|
||
|
|
support RPM, dpkg or the Solaris native packages someday. It can also be
|
||
|
|
used to test new variants of the packaging tools.
|
||
|

A package system flavor must define the following variables so that they
|
||
|
|
can be used when loading Makefiles. (That is, no references to undefined
|
||
|
|
variables.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* PKG_DBDIR (TODO: Make the other parts of pkgsrc independent of that
|
||
|
|
variable; this should go away.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* PKG_ADD
|
||
|
|
* PKG_ADMIN
|
||
|
|
* PKG_CREATE
|
||
|
|
* PKG_DELETE
|
||
|
|
* PKG_INFO
|
||
|
|
* PKG_VIEW
|
||
|
|
* LINKFARM
|
||
|
|
* PKG_BEST_EXISTS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The variables from the second list are all shell commands, which must
|
||
|
|
accept some command line options that are detailed in the respective man
|
||
|
|
pages. (TODO: Find out which command line options are really used and
|
||
|
|
which ones are useful. Document them.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following variables must be defined so that they can be used in
|
||
|
|
shell commands. They may contain references to all other variables.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* PKG_FILELIST_CMD
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following make targets must be implemented:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* check-vulnerable
|
||
|
|
* deinstall-pkg
|
||
|
|
* show-depends
|
||
|
|
* depends-install
|
||
|
|
* bootstrap-depends
|
||
|
|
* register-pkg
|
||
|
|
* tarup (XXX: This doesn't sound like a target that should be defined
|
||
|
|
here.)
|
||
|
|
* tarup-pkg
|
||
|
|
* package-install
|
||
|
|
* replace-pkg
|
||
|
|
* undo-replace-pkg
|
||
|

The name "flavor" is badly chosen, especially since flavor is such a
|
||
|
|
broad term that OpenBSD ports collection has chosen to implement
|
||
|
|
something entirely different using the same name. (This has happended
|
||
|
|
before pkgsrc has chosen to use this word, though, so no blame on them.)
