| .TH "QUICKPKG" "1" "Dec 2012" "Portage VERSION" "Portage" |
| .SH NAME |
| quickpkg \- creates portage packages |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B quickpkg [options] <list of packages or package\-sets> |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .I quickpkg |
| can be utilized to quickly create a package for portage by |
| utilizing the files already on your filesystem. This package |
| then can be emerged on any system. To review syntax for |
| emerging binary packages, review \fBemerge\fR(1). The upside |
| of this process is that you don't have to wait for the package |
| to unpack, configure, compile, and install before you can have |
| the package ready to go. The downside is that the package will |
| contain the files that exist on your filesystem even if they have |
| modified since they were first installed. |
| .br |
| The packages, after being created, will be placed in \fBPKGDIR\fR. |
| This variable is defined in \fBmake.conf\fR(5) and defaults to |
| /usr/portage/packages. |
| .SH OPTIONS |
| .TP |
| .B <list of packages or package\-sets> |
| Each package in the list can be of two forms. First you can |
| give it the full path to the installed entry in the virtual |
| database. That is, /var/db/pkg/<CATEGORY>/<PKG-VERSION>/. |
| The second form is a portage depend atom or a portage package |
| set. The atom or set is of the same form that you would give |
| \fBemerge\fR if you wanted to emerge something. |
| See \fBebuild\fR(5) for full definition. |
| .TP |
| .BR "\-\-ignore\-default\-opts" |
| Causes the \fIQUICKPKG_DEFAULT_OPTS\fR environment variable to be ignored. |
| .TP |
| .BR "\-\-include\-config < y | n >" |
| Include all files protected by CONFIG_PROTECT (as a security precaution, |
| default is 'n'). |
| .TP |
| .BR "\-\-include\-unmodified\-config < y | n >" |
| Include files protected by CONFIG_PROTECT that have not been modified |
| since installation (as a security precaution, default is 'n'). |
| .TP |
| .BR \-\-umask=UMASK |
| The umask used during package creation (default is 0077). |
