|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm url2pkg
|
|
.Nd Automatic NetBSD package generator
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Ar URL
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
takes the
|
|
.Ar URL
|
|
to a package's distfile that should be
|
|
turned into a package. The
|
|
generated package includes a
|
|
.Pa Makefile
|
|
and a basic set of files to get the
|
|
package going. Any customisations to get the package going need to be
|
|
adjusted manually after
|
|
.Nm
|
|
has finished its job.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is intended to help starting to created a package, it is not
|
|
intended to fly on autopilot, though.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa Makefile
|
|
contains all the required variables, such as DISTNAME or MASTER_SITES, but some of them cannot be automatically set. Hence, the user's usual editor is invoked to edit the
|
|
.Pa Makefile .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After the
|
|
.Pa Makefile
|
|
is completed,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
fetches the archive, and computes its checksum via the
|
|
.Ic make makesum
|
|
target. Then archive extraction is done, via the
|
|
.Ic make extract
|
|
target, and finally,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
attempts to detect if
|
|
the software uses a
|
|
.Ic configure
|
|
script, and if it's from GNU
|
|
.Ic autoconf .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the user does not supply the
|
|
.Ar URL
|
|
on the command line, then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will prompt for it.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|

.Bl -tag -width indent

|
|
Editor used for

|

|
|

|

.It PKGMAINTAINER, REPLYTO
|

Name used for the MAINTAINER field in the package
|
