If symbolic links exist, they will be converted to script -code to recreate them when the package is installed. This code will be -appended to the primary installation script -.B ( install/doinst.sh ) -, or, if that script does not exist it will be created with those contents. -The package will be written out to the file -.BI packagename -which should be the full name, including the extension. This is usually .txz, -but .tgz, .tbz, and .tlz are also accepted. The proper compression utility -(xz, gzip, bzip2, or lzip) needs to be installed on the machine. -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.B \-l, --linkadd y|n -If y, add any symbolic links found to the install script (doinst.sh) and -delete them. This is the recommended action. If this option is not used, -makepkg will prompt if symbolic links are found. -.TP -.B \-p, --prepend -If this option is given, then any symbolic links added to doinst.sh will be -prepended to the existing script. This is useful for packages that contain -shared libraries that need to be linked first because programs will use them -later in the doinst.sh script. -.TP -.B \-c, --chown y|n -If y, makepkg will reset all directory permissions to 755 and ownership to root:root. -In general, you should have the permissions and ownerships worked out yourself, so -relying on setting this option to y is somewhat sloppy. It is not the default. If an -option is not provided, makepkg will prompt. -.TP -.B --threads <number> -For xz/plzip compressed packages, set the maximum number of threads to be used for -compression. Only has an effect on large packages. For plzip, the default is the number -of CPU threads available. For xz, the default is 2 (due to commonly occuring memory -related failures on 32-bit with too many threads and multithreaded xz compression). -.TP -.B --compress <option> -Supply a custom option to the compressor. This will be used in place of the default, which is: -9 -.TP -.B --acls -Support storing POSIX ACLs in the package. The resulting package will not be compatible -with pkgtools version < 15.0. -.TP -.B --xattrs -Support storing extended attributes in the package. The resulting package will not be -compatible with pkgtools version < 15.0. -.SH INSTALLATION SCRIPTS -There are 3 types of installation scripts supported in the Slackware package -system. -.TP -The first is the -.B primary -installation script. This is found in the subdirectory -.B ./install -and must have the name -.B doinst.sh -in order to be recognized. This ( and other install scripts ) should be written -using the basic Bourne shell syntax recognized by the -.B ash -shell, since this is the shell that will be used to execute the script when -installing from a Slackware install floppy. This is a common trap - beware of -using -.B bash -syntax extensions, because the script will work fine when installed from the -hard drive, but will bomb out when installed from floppy. If the package is -for personal use, this isn't a problem. Be careful, though, if you plan to -share your package with other users. The -.B primary installation script -is executed immediately after the package is installed with -.B installpkg, pkgtool, -or -.B setup. -.TP -The second type of script is the -.B configuration -script. This is found in the subdirectory -.B ./var/lib/pkgtools/setup -and must have a name that starts with -.B setup. -in order to be recongnized. An example is the timezone script: -.B /var/lib/pkgtools/setup/setup.timeconfig. -These scripts are executed during the -.B CONFIGURE -phase of -.B setup, -and are re-executed each time the user runs the -.B CONFIGURE -option from -.B setup -from then on. -Typically, the user will go through this phase of setup following the -installation of all the packages. Anything that needs to be interactive -should go in one of these scripts to avoid halting the package installation -process during -.B setup. -.TP -The third type of script is the -.B onlyonce -script. Like the name suggests, these are executed only once after the package -is installed, in contrast to the standard -.B configuration -script. These scripts are also found in the -.B ./var/lib/pkgtools/setup -directory and must have a name that starts with -.B setup., -but in addition the name must contain the string -.B onlyonce. -An example might be a script with the name -.B /var/lib/pkgtools/setup/setup.onlyonce.testscript -.SH PACKAGE FORMAT -.B makepkg -uses GNU tar plus GNU gzip to create its packages. A simple way to -extract the contents of a package (without executing the installation -scripts, of course) is to use a command like this: -.TP -explodepkg package.tgz -.TP -Or, something like this: -.TP -gzip -dc package.tgz | tar xvvf - -.SH AUTHOR -Patrick J.
