xbps is a new binary package system, taken ideas from other free available
implementations, such as dpkg/apt, RPM, pacman and others. Metadata handling
as package databases are handled by proplib. Multiple compression formats
are supported in binary packages thanks to libarchive.

REQUIREMENTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
xbps uses proplib, a property container object library and it's almost the
same one available for NetBSD. Be sure to have it installed before using
xbps. You can get it at:
http://code.google.com/p/portableproplib/
I'm also the human maintaining the portable proplib package. I'd suggest you
to install it into /usr/local to avoid issues with your distribution packages.
Multiple changes to xbps-src and shutils: * Added XBPS_FETCH_CMD to xbps-src.conf, this will be used to fetch distfiles. Please note that it will be copied to the chroot, so it should be statically linked or with only libc required. * Removed libtool_func.sh and associated vars, it's unneeded currently. * Added keep_empty_dirs, keep_libtool_archives and nostrip. By default all empty dirs and libtool archives are removed, and executables and libraries stripped, respectively. One can use set the var in a build template to change the behaviour. * Explain in README what are the requirements to build XBPS. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : xtraeme%40gmail.com-20091017005836-uifiof32ndy0wmd8

To build the xbps utils, you'll need:
Added xbps-bin(8) and xbps-repo(8) manpages in asciidoc format. That means that asciidoc is required to build/install XBPS. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : xtraeme%40gmail.com-20091028153222-ljgdfqqe1ea74xs7

HOW TO USE IT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before using xbps, some required utilities need to be built and installed
into $(PREFIX); by default they are installed into /usr/local.
You can do this by issuing "make" and "make install" as root in the top
level directory. See the REQUIREMENTS section above for required packages.

To build binary packages, you need xbps-src. It's stored in a public GIT
repository located at:
http://repo.or.cz/w/xbps.git
