Tazpkg offers commands for searching 1.50 +and creating packages and was created independently. 1.51 +The format of the packages using the *.tazpkg extension is a 1.52 +cpio archive containing a filesystem compressed with gzip, 1.53 +a receipt and an optional description. Tazpkg also manages 1.54 +dependencies based on package receipts. Each receipt contains 1.55 +all the information about a package and can also include 1.56 +pre and post installation functions. The same receipt is 1.57 +used by Tazwok to compile sources and generate a .tazpkg 1.58 +package. 1.59 +</p> 1.60 +<p> 1.61 +Tazpkg is entirely built from scratch using SHell script, 1.62 +compatible with Bash, it runs under Ash - part of the Busybox 1.63 +project. Tazpkg is distributed under the free GNU license GPL V3. 1.64 +</p> 1.65 + 1.66 +<h2>COMMANDS</h2> 1.67 +<h3><font color="#6c0023">list</font></h3> 1.68 +<p> 1.69 +List packages installed on the system. This command displays 1.70 +a column list of all installed packages, It also allows you to list the 1.71 +categories, packages based on category and packages placed on hold. 1.72 +You can also use the 'search' command for a list based 1.73 +on a term or package name: 1.74 +</p> 1.75 +<pre> 1.76 + # tazpkg list 1.77 + # tazpkg list cat|categories 1.78 + # tazpkg list blocked 1.79 +</pre> 1.80 +<a name="xhtml-list"></a> 1.81 +<h3><font color="#6c0023">xhtml-list</font></h3> 1.82 +<p> 1.83 +The 'xhtml-list' command can create a XHTML list 1.84 +of all the packages installed on the system which can be read 1.85 +with your preferred Web browser. It can be run as a normal 1.86 +user and creates a page 'installed-packages.html' in 1.87 +your current directory. Note that you can change the name of the 1.88 +generated list via the command line: 1.89 +</p> 1.90 +<pre> 1.91 + # tazpkg xhtml-list 1.92 + # tazpkg xhtml-list list-name.html 1.93 +</pre> 1.94 +<a name="list-mirror"></a> 1.95 +<h3><font color="#6c0023">list-mirror</font></h3> 1.96 +<p> 1.97 +List packages available on the mirror.

The --diff option is used to display 1.102 +the differences between the last and current list of packages: 1.103 +</p> 1.104 +<pre> 1.105 + # tazpkg list-mirror 1.106 + # tazpkg list-mirror --diff 1.107 +</pre> 1.108 +<a name="info"></a> 1.109 +<h3><font color="#6c0023">info</font></h3> 1.110 +<p> 1.111 +Display any information available in the receipt for the 1.112 +package in question - its version, category, maintainer, 1.113 +Web site and any dependencies (see also Tazwok for more 1.114 +information on receipts): 1.115 +</p> 1.116 +<pre> 1.117 + # tazpkg info busybox 1.118 +</pre> 1.119 +<a name="desc"></a> 1.120 +<h3><font color="#6c0023">desc</font></h3> 1.121 +<p> 1.122 +Description of the package (if it exists).

This command 1.154 +will search for the term wanted in the installed packages and the 1.155 +list of available packages on the mirror. To obtain the 1.156 +latest list of installable packages on the mirror, just 1.157 +run 'tazpkg recharge' before conducting a search: 1.158 +</p> 1.159 +<pre> 1.160 + # tazpkg search gcc 1.161 +</pre> 1.162 +<a name="search-file"></a> 1.163 +<h3><font color="#6c0023">search-file</font></h3> 1.164 +<p> 1.165 +The 'search-file' command allows you to search for a file 1.166 +among the files installed by the packages. This command is very 1.167 +useful to find the full path to a file and determine if 1.168 +a file is present on the system. Example: 1.169 +</p> 1.170 +<pre> 1.171 + $ tazpkg search-file libnss 1.172 +</pre> 1.173 +<a name="install"></a> 1.174 +<h3><font color="#6c0023">install</font></h3> 1.175 +<p> 1.176 +This command allows the installation of a local package with 1.177 +the .tazpkg extension. See 'get-install' to install a 1.178 +package from the internet. Note that you can force the 1.179 +installation via the --forced, uninstall and reinstall options 1.180 +or specify the root system where you want to install the 1.181 +packages via the -root= option: 1.182 +</p> 1.183 +<pre> 1.184 + # tazpkg install package-1.0.tazpkg 1.185 + Or : 1.186 + # tazpkg install path/to/package-1.0.tazpkg --forced 1.187 + Or : 1.188 + # tazpkg install path/to/package-1.0.tazpkg --root=/mnt/rootfs 1.189 +</pre> 1.190 +<h3><font color="#6c0023">install-list or get-install-list</font></h3> 1.191 +<p> 1.192 +Install a set of packages listed in a file.

The set up is done through symbolic links and consumes very little 1.204 +memory. It is generally used within the system RAM to install add-ons 1.205 +from an USB key: 1.206 +</p> 1.207 +<pre> 1.208 + # tazpkg link openoffice /media/usbdisk 1.209 +</pre> 1.210 +<a name="remove"></a> 1.211 +<h3><font color="#6c0023">remove</font></h3> 1.212 +<p> 1.213 +Remove a package. You will be asked for confirmation (y/N). 1.214 +This command will delete all files installed with the package. 1.215 +To view the list of files, use the 'list-files' command 1.216 +followed by the name of the package. Example 1.217 +with the package bc: 1.218 +</p> 1.219 +<pre> 1.220 + # tazpkg remove bc 1.221 +</pre> 1.222 +<a name="extract"></a> 1.223 +<h3><font color="#6c0023">extract</font></h3> 1.224 +<p> 1.225 +Extract a package into a directory.

To pack a package: 1.240 +</p> 1.241 +<pre> 1.242 + # tazpkg pack package-version 1.243 +</pre> 1.244 +<a name="repack"></a> 1.245 +<h3><font color="#6c0023">repack</font></h3> 1.246 +<p> 1.247 +The 'repack' command allows you to recreate a package from 1.248 +the files on a system where it was previously installed. 1.249 +To repack a package: 1.250 +</p> 1.251 +<pre> 1.252 + # tazpkg repack package 1.253 +</pre> 1.254 +<a name="repack-config"></a> 1.255 +<h3><font color="#6c0023">repack-config</font></h3> 1.256 +<p> 1.257 +The 'repack-config' command recreates a package 1.258 +of the system configuration files (see list-config). It is enough 1.259 +to install the package to find the current configuration. To repack 1.260 +the configuration files: 1.261 +</p> 1.262 +<pre> # tazpkg repack-config 1.263 +</pre> 1.264 +<a name="recharge"></a> 1.265 +<h3><font color="#6c0023">recharge</font></h3> 1.266 +<p> 1.267 +Recharge the list of available packages on the mirror. 1.268 +This command will download the most recent 'packages.list' 1.269 +of installable packages on the mirror and before starting 1.270 +will save the old list. Once the list is updated 1.271 +you can then use the 'list' and 'search' commands. To view 1.272 +and list the differences, you can use 'list-mirror --diff', and to view 1.273 +and update packages, you can simply 'upgrade'.

Upgrading packages is an important 1.284 +part of system security, it helps to keep you secure with 1.285 +the latest updates and fixes. The SliTaz project, 1.286 +although tiny, provides regular updates on security and generally 1.287 +offers the latest versions of software. Note that this 1.288 +function is aimed at people with SliTaz installed on a 1.289 +hard drive. Updated packages in LiveCD mode will be lost on 1.290 +system shutdown.
