pkgmk(8)

NAME
pkgmk - make software package

SYNOPSIS
pkgmk [options]

DESCRIPTION
pkgmk is a package management utility, which makes a software package. A package is an archive of files (.pkg.tar.gz, .pkg.tar.bz2 or .pkg.tar.xz) that can be installed using pkgadd(8). To prepare to use pkgmk, you must write a file named Pkgfile that describes how the package should be build. Once a suitable Pkgfile file exists, each time you change some source files, you simply execute pkgmk to bring the package up to date. The pkgmk program uses the Pkgfile file and the last-modification times of the source files to decide if the package needs to be updated. Global build configuration is stored in /etc/pkgmk.conf. This file is read by pkgmk at startup.
