|
|
.Nm xbps-install
|
|
.Nd XBPS utility to (re)install and update packages
|

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility installs, reinstalls, downgrades and updates packages in the target root directory.
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Ar PKG
|
|
is a package expression, which is explained in the
|
|
.Em PACKAGE EXPRESSION
|
|
section. If package is installed, it will be updated to the version available in repositories
|
|
matching the
|
|
.Em PACKAGE EXPRESSION .
|
|
Otherwise it will be installed, or reinstalled/downgraded if
|
|
.Fl f , Fl -force
|
|
option is set.
|
|
.Sh PACKAGE EXPRESSION
|
|
A package expression is a form to match a pattern; currently xbps
|
|
supports 3 ways to specify them:
|
|
.Bl -dash
|
|
.It
|
|
by package name, i.e:
|
|
.Dq Sy foo .
|
|
The package with the greatest version available in all repositories will be choosen.
|
|
.It
|
|
by exact package name and version, i.e:
|
|
.Dq Sy foo-1.0_1 .
|
|
The first package matching expression in a repository will be choosen.
|
|
.It
|
|
by specifying a package name and version separated by any of the following version comparators:
|
|
.Bl -item -width xx -compact
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It
|
|
.Sy <
|
|
less than
|
|
.It
|
|
.Sy >
|
|
greater than
|
|
.It
|
|
.Sy <=
|
|
less or equal than
|
|
.It
|
|
.Sy >=
|
|
greater or equal than
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Example:
|
|
.Dq Sy foo>=2.0 .
|
|
The first package matching expression in a repository will be choosen.
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width -x
|
|

|
Force downgrade installation (if package version in repos is less than installed version),

or reinstallation (if package version in repos is the same) to the target
|
|
.Ar PKG ,
|
|
overwriting regular package files and symlinks (if they have been modified) but
|
|
.Em preserving configuration files .

|
machine result with this value. Useful to install packages with a fake
|
|
architecture.

|
|
Sets the target architecture to this value. This variable differs from
|
|
.Sy XBPS_ARCH
|
|
in that it allows you to install packages partially, because

|
|
the native architecture).
