You can use it to create a package index for a local repository, add or remove local and remote repositories, search for packages and show information about a binary package in repository pool\&. .SH "OPTIONS" .PP \fB\-c\fR \fIcachedir\fR .RS 4 Sets the \fIcache\fR directory to store downloaded binary packages from remote repositories\&. By default it\(cqs set to \fI/var/cache/xbps\fR and it\(cqs always relative to the \fIroot\fR directory\&. So if you use a \fIrootdir\fR of \fI/blah\fR, it will become \fI/blah/cachedir\fR\&. .RE .PP \fB\-d\fR .RS 4 Enables extra debugging output to be shown to stderr. .RE .PP \fB\-r\fR \fIrootdir\fR .RS 4 Sets the \fIroot\fR directory\&. By default the root directory is set to \fI/\fR\&. Please note that the database directory is always set to \fI/var/db/xbps\fR independently of \fIrootdir\fR\&. So if you use a \fIrootdir\fR of \fI/blah\fR, metadata stuff will go into \fI/blah/var/db/xbps\fR\&. .RE .PP \fB\-V\fR .RS 4 Shows the current XBPS release version (library and code)\&. .RE .SH "TARGETS" .sp Please note that all targets are \fBcase insensitive\fR\&. .PP \fBadd\fR \fIURI\fR .RS 4 Adds a repository as specified in \fIURI\fR to the repository pool\&. Local (by specifying a \fBdirectory\fR) and remote (by specifiying an \fBHTTP/HTTPS/FTP URL\fR) repositories can be specified\&. .RE .PP \fBfind\-files\fR \fIpattern\fR .RS 4 Prints the name for any package registered in the repository pool, that owns the file matched by \fIpattern\fR\&. Exact matches and wildcards can be specified\&. Please note that this will look in all packages registered from all repositories currently registered, so if packages are not in \fIcachedir\fR it will have to connect remotely to the repository to fetch the information \fIon the fly\fR. .RE .PP \fBgenindex\fR \fI/path/to/local/repo\fR .RS 4 Generates a package index for a local repository as specified in its argument\&. It will look for archives with \fB\&.xbps\fR extension and will only add it into the index if version is newer than the one available in the index\&. If a newer package is available, the for old package file will be removed automatically\&. .RE .PP \fBlist\fR .RS 4 Lists all currently registered repositories in repository pool\&. .RE .PP \fBremove\fR \fIURI\fR .RS 4 Removes a repository from repository pool as specified by the \fIURI\fR argument\&. You have to use the same \fIURI\fR that was used in the \fBadd\fR target\&. .RE .PP \fBsearch\fR \fIpattern\fR .RS 4 Search for packages containing the shell \fIpattern\fR (see fnmatch(3)) in its \fBpkgname\fR or \fBdescription\fR values in repository pool\&. .RE .PP \fBshow \fR\fB\fIpkgname\fR\fR .RS 4 Shows information about binary package \fIpkgname\fR\&. This will print the size it takes in filesystem, description, maintainer, architecture and other information\&. The first repository in the pool wins\&. \fBNOTE: if a remote repository is the winner and binary package is not available in cachedir, it will fetch remotely and \fR\fB\fIon\-the\-fly\fR\fR\fB the info\fR\&. .RE .PP \fBshow\-deps \fR\fB\fIpkgname\fR\fR .RS 4 Shows run time dependencies for binary package \fIpkgname\fR\&. The first repository in the pool wins\&. .RE .PP \fBshow\-files \fR\fB\fIpkgname\fR\fR .RS 4 Shows the file list for a binary package \fIpkgname\fR by searching it in repository pool\&. The first repository in the pool wins\&. \fBNOTE: if a remote repository is the winner and binary package is not available in \fR\fBcachedir\fR\fB, it will fetch remotely and \fR\fB\fIon\-the\-fly\fR\fR\fB the info\fR\&. .RE .PP \fBsync\fR .RS 4 Syncs the package index file for all registered remote repositories\&. The new file will be fetched if local and remote size/mtime do not match\&. .RE .SH "FILES" .PP \fB/var/db/xbps/repositories\&.plist\fR .RS 4 Registered repository list\&. .RE .PP \fB/var/db/xbps//pkg\-index\&.plist\fR .RS 4 Remote repository package index file\&. .RE .PP \fB/var/cache/xbps\fR .RS 4 xbps \fIcache\fR directory for downloaded binary packages\&. .RE .SH "BUGS" .sp Probably, but I try to make this not happen\&. Use it under your own responsability and enjoy your life\&. .sp Report bugs in \fIhttp://code\&.google\&.com/p/xbps\fR\&. .SH "SEE ALSO" .sp xbps\-bin(8), xbps\-src(8) .sp The XBPS project: \fIhttp://code\&.google\&.com/p/xbps\fR .sp To build binary packages, the xbps\-src(8) shell script is the command designed for this task\&. This must be retrieved from a Mercurial repository, available at \fIhttp://xbps\-src\&.xbps\&.googlecode\&.com/hg/\fR\&. .SH "AUTHORS" .sp The \fBXBPS binary package system\fR has been designed and implemented by Juan Romero Pardines \&.
