1 SliTaz Spk
2 ================================================================================
5 The SliTaz Spk toolset provides tools and utils to handle SliTaz packages.
8 Spk
9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 Spk is the main tool to handle and play with SliTaz packages, it handles multiple
11 packages on a cmdline and a wide range of --options which will perform tasks such
12 as adding or removing packages using the toolset. Spk itself provides some small
13 commands such as ls or info.
16 Toolset
17 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18 Spk is separated into many small tools following the UNIX philosophy: one tool
19 for one task but do that task well. Here is a list of proposed tools and their
20 functions:
22 * spk-ls : List packages and packages files
23 * spk-add : Install local or online pkgs
24 * spk-rm : Remove packages with confirm in option
25 * spk-up : Upgrade the whole system
26 * spk-search : Search for packages or files
27 * spk-archive: Manage package extraction, compression, and packing
28 * spk-mirror : Manage mirrors and undigest
31 LibSpk
32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
33 Libspk provides base functions and internal variables used by almost all spk-tools.
34 Libspk must be installed vis 'make install-lib' to develop spk-tools.
36 * Source: libtaz.sh, libpkg.sh, slitaz.conf
37 * Internal Spk variables (lowercase, not configurable)
38 * Display package info
39 * ...
42 Devnotes
43 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
44 Some random and useful notes.
46 * packages.desc format: package | 1.0 | desc | category | website
47 * packages.md5 format : de9f76250657000958ee0120d376613e package-1.0.tazpkg
48 * ...
50 Since we use latest libtaz.sh, slitaz.conf and libpkg.sh code you must install
51 these files to develop the Spk Toolset:
53 $ hg clone http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-base-files
54 $ cd slitaz-base-files
55 $ make install-libtaz
56 $ make install-libpkg
57 $ make install-slitaz

63 in the package. These rules are in addition to cookutils coding style, please
