.SH NAME
|
|
bize \- ROCK-Linux .tar.bz2 package manager
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.BI "bize -i [-t] [-v] [-f] [-R " root "] " package1.tar.bz2
|
|
.BI ...
|
|
.LP
|
|
.BI "bize -r [-t] [-v] [-f] [-R " root "] " package1 ...
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B bize
|
|
is a shell script capable of installing, updating and removing
|
|
ROCK-Linux .tar.bz2 package files. It implements a subset of
|
|
.B mine
|
|
options.
|
|
.SS Requirements
|
|
.BR md5sum ", " sort ", " rm ", " rmdir ", " mkdir ", " tar " and
|
|
.BR bzip2 .
|
|
All these are standard programs present in any Linux system, but
|
|
.B bize
|
|
checks for them on startup anyway.
|
|
The presence of
|
|
.B md5sum
|
|
and of md5sum entries files is checked only if
|
|
.B "\-f"
|
|
is not specified.
|
|
.SS Compatibility
|
|
The .tar.bz2 and .gem formats are not compatible. Packages
|
|
installed with
|
|
.B bize
|
|
can be removed with
|
|
.B mine
|
|
and vice-versa.
|
|
.B bize
|
|
has not been tested with ROCK-Linux 1.6 or earlier. Some of the
|
|
ROCK-Linux 1.7.0+ targets produce .tar.bz2 packages only.
|
|
.SS Effectiveness
|
|
.B bize
|
|
installs packages slightly faster than
|
|
.BR "mine "
|
|
and removes them several times slower. Much more time is required
|
|
to install a package than to remove it, so
|
|
.B bize
|
|
is, overall, about 20% slower than
|
|
.BR mine .
|
|
The .tar.bz2 packages are a bit smaller than the .gem packages and
|
|
are created a bit faster.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B "\-i"
|
|
Install or update packages.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B "\-r"
|
|
Remove packages.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B "\-t"
|
|
Test mode. Show what will happen without doing it.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B "\-v"
|
|
Be verbose.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B "\-f"
|
|
Force removal/replacement of the modified files.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "\-r " root
|
|
Use
|
|
.I root
|
|
as root directory instead of /.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B "\-\-"
|
|
Terminate the option list.
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
Regular files with no md5sum entry are ignored in test mode and
|
|
treated as modified in real mode unless
|
|
.B "\-f"
|
|
is specified. A normally built and installed ROCK-Linux package
|
|
must include such an entry for each regular file.
