5. Package Management

For more information read crux handbook Package management front-end: prt-get and Introduction to pkgutils.

pkgmk(8): 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).
pkgadd(8): install a software package. A package is an archive of files (.pkg.tar.gz).
pkginfo(8): Displays information about software packages that are installed on the system or that reside in a particular directory.
pkgrm(8): Removes/uninstalls a previously installed software packages.
prt-get(8): prt-get is a package management tool which provides additional functionality to crux' package management system. It works with the local ports tree and is therefore fully compatible with ports(8) and pkgmk(8)/pkgadd(8)

Test configuration by runing prt-get as user installing ports that are related;

        $ prt-get depinst prt-utils prt-get-bashcompletion

3.1. Update System

Before build software get latest version of port collections;

        $ sudo ports -u

When coming from install or there is to much updates, I prefer to update gcc, glibc, libtool and binutils before doing a sysup;

        $ prt-get update gcc
        $ prt-get update glibc
        $ prt-get update libtool
        $ prt-get update binutils

Rebuild any revision dependency;

        $ prt-get update -fr $(revdep)

Build and install updated versions of ports;

        $ prt-get sysup

        $ prt-get depinst git

Installing using pkgmk;

        $ cd /usr/ports/opt/git
        $ sudo -H -u pkgmk fakeroot pkgmk -d

Clone this documentation;

        $ git clone https://github.com/s1lvino/sysdoc.git

Install sysdoc port collection;

        $ sudo cp sysdoc/ports/sysdoc.httpup /etc/ports/

Edit /etc/prt-get.conf to activate sysdoc collection;

        prtdir /usr/ports/sysdoc
        # the following line enables the user maintained contrib collection
        prtdir /usr/ports/contrib

Get sysdoc ports;

        $ sudo ports -u sysdoc

        $ prt-get info port_name

List files port install into system;

        $ pkginfo -l package_name

Discover to wich port a file belongs;

        $ pkginfo -o filename

        $ prt-get depends port_name

Example how to get ports installed from contrib. Maybe there is a "cleaner" way to this, for now is ok;

        prt-get printf "%p %i %n %v\n" | grep "/usr/ports/contrib yes"
