# Migrate the package database and directories from /var/log to
# /var/lib/pkgtools. /var/log was never a good place for this data, as it is
# considered by many to be a directory that could be wiped to free up some
# space. Originally the package database was in /var/adm, but the FSSTND
# (later FHS) group decided that directory should be a symlink to /var/log,
# and I went along with that since it was years ago and I was a n00b and didn't
# know any better. /var/lib/pkgtools will be a better and safer location.
#
# Thu May 24 20:23:55 UTC 2018
# Added --terselength option to set the line length in --terse mode.
# Allow adding NOLOCK in an install script to allow it to run without locking.
#
# Sat May 19 22:42:03 UTC 2018
# Implement locking to prevent screen output or install script collisions if
# multiple copies of installpkg are running simultaneously.
# Use ${MCOOKIE} instead of $$ (might as well, since we already generated it).
#
# Tue Apr 17 17:26:44 UTC 2018
# Quit with the funny business in /install. Note however that /install still
# isn't a safe directory to use in a package for anything other than package
# metadata. Other files placed there are going to be left on the system in
# /installpkg-$(mcookie). That could be worked around, but we'll wait until
# someone reports there is a need. The main reason to do this is that /install
# was a collision point if more than one copy of installpkg was running at
# once. With this change, the pkgtools are (more or less) thread-safe.
#
# Tue Feb 13 01:19:46 UTC 2018
# Use recent tar, and support restoring POSIX ACLs and extended attributes.
#
# Tue Dec 12 21:49:48 UTC 2017
# If possible, use multiple decompression threads.

# Change meaning of .tlz to tar.lz (lzip)
#
# Sun Sep  6 21:58:36 BST 2009
# Replaced usage of "cat" with STDIN redirection or file name parameters
# to speed up execution on ARM.
# Replaced pkgbase & package_name code with 'sed' script by Jim Hawkins.
#
# Sat Apr 25 21:18:53 UTC 2009
# Converted to use new pkgbase() function to remove pathname and
# valid package extensions.
#
# Sat Apr  4 22:58:06 CDT 2009
# Support additional compression formats if the supporting utilities exist:
# .tbz - bzip2
# .tlz - lzma
# .txz - xz (also LZMA)
# And of course, .tgz (gzip) is not going anywhere.  :-) <volkerdi>
# Add command switches to determine the uncompressed package size even if
# that will slow things down, and to add the package's md5sum to the
# metadata stored in /var/log/packages/.
#
# Fri Dec 21 17:21:35 CST 2007
# Added a patch from Johnny Morano to work around package removal issues
# caused by packages that do not comply with FHS combined with a grep
# regex error in installpkg.  Any package with a single-letter top-
# level directory could not be removed.
#
# Shortened some of the top-line dialog output to avoid overflowing the
# textbox (needed as some of the packages, especially in X, have very
# long base package names now).  <pjv>
#
# Sun Nov 26 12:38:25 CST 1995
# Added patch from Glenn Moloney <glenn@physics.unimelb.edu.au> to allow
# packages to be installed to directories other than /.

Usage: installpkg [options] <package_filename>

Installpkg is used to install a .t{gz,bz,lz,xz} package like this:
   installpkg slackware-package-1.0.0-i486-1.tgz (or .tbz, .tlz, .txz)

options:      --warn (warn if files will be overwritten, but do not install)
              --root /mnt (install someplace else, like /mnt)
              --infobox (use dialog to draw an info box)
              --terse (display a one-line short description for install)
              --terselength <length> (line length in terse mode - default is
                    the number of columns available)
              --menu (confirm package installation with a menu, unless
                    the priority is [required] or ADD)
              --ask (used with menu mode: always ask if a package should be
                   installed regardless of what the package's priority is)
              --priority ADD|REC|OPT|SKP (provide a priority for the entire
                    package list to use instead of the priority in the
                    tagfile)
              --tagfile /somedir/tagfile (specify a different file to use
                    for package priorities. The default is "tagfile" in
                    the package's directory)
              --threads <number>  For xz/plzip compressed packages, set the max
                    number of threads to be used for decompression. Only has
                    an effect if a multithreaded compressor was used, and then
                    only on large packages. For plzip, the default is equal to
                    the number of CPU threads available on the machine. For xz,
                    the default is equal to 2.
              --md5sum (record the package's md5sum in the metadata file)
