It can consume package building templates in the abuild format +and automate the building and installing of packages. + +# OPTIONS + + +Arguments for apkg are as follows: + +- **-h** Prints help. +- **-i** *<pkg(s)>* Installs package(s) without taking dependencies into account. Building will fail if the dependencies are not present in the system. +- **-I** *<pkg(s)>* Installs package(s) with dependencies. +- **-d** *<pkg>* Lists package dependencies +- **-D** *<pkg(s)>* List all dependencies for package(s) +- **-j** *<pkg>* List all reverse dependencies for the package (packages that depend on it). + + + +# EXAMPLES + +# ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES + +- *APKG_ROOT* Overrides default root location (/), where sw is installed +- *APKG_CONF* Overrides default location for the configuration file apkg.conf. The default is under /etc on an installed alice linux system. +- *APKG_NOPROMPT* If set, it enabled non-interactive use by disabling user confirmation prompt. +- *APKG_REPO* Double-quoted, space-seperated list for the local directories that contain build templates. +- *APKG_PACKAGE_DIR* Directory where the compiled packages will reside. +- *APKG_SOURCE_DIR* Directory that will hold the downloaded sources. +- *APKG_WORK_DIR* Directory where the actuall building proccess will take place. This happens in subdirectories which are cleaned after completion. +- *APKG_LOG* If set, it enables the creation of a log for the program output. + +**Note:** Usually, APKG_REPO, APKG_PACKAGE_DIR, APKG_SOURCE_DIR and APKG_WORK_DIR are declared in the apkg.conf configuration file. For more information, please see apkg.conf(5). + +# FILES + +- **apkg.conf(5)** is the default configuration file, it resides by default under /etc. +- **abuild** is the name of the package templates that apkg uses, along with relevant files in order to +build and installed packages. For example, one can look to the alice linux repos, under [alicelinux/repos at main - emmett1/alicelinux - Codeberg.org](https://codeberg.org/emmett1/alicelinux/src/branch/main/repos) + +# BUGS + +**apkg** is in a working stage but also under heavy development.
