45 <h3>Tazpkg - Package manager</h3>
|
|
pankso@7
|
46 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
47 SliTaz provides a tiny package manager which can easily install more software
|
|
pankso@7
|
48 on the system. Tazpkg is a lightweight package manager for <code>.tazpkg</code>
|
|
hacker@59
|
49 files, completely written in SHell script. It works well with Busybox ash shell and
|
|
pankso@7
|
50 bash. Tazpkg lets you list, install, remove, download, extract, pack, search,
|
|
pankso@7
|
51 or get information about available or installed packages. You can also repack
|
|
pankso@7
|
52 an installed package and automatically upgrade all installed packages. On SliTaz
|
|
pankso@7
|
53 you can type <code>tazpkg usage</code> in a terminal to get a list of all the
|
|
pankso@7
|
54 commands with a short description in English.
|
|
pankso@7
|
55 </p>

pankso@7
|
58 <h3>List of packages</h3>
|
|
pankso@7
|
59 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
60 Tazpkg lets you list all installed packages, installed
|
|
pankso@7
|
61 packages by category or it can display the list of available packages on the mirror.
|
|
pankso@7
|
62 To display a single list of all installed packages on the system just type:
|
|
pankso@7
|
63 </p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
64 <pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
65 $ tazpkg list
|
|
pankso@7
|
66 </pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
67 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
68 To display all categories or packages sorted by category, you must specifiy
|
|
pankso@7
|
69 <code>cat</code> or <code>category</code>.
|
|
pankso@7
|
70 Examples:
|
|
pankso@7
|
71 </p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
72 <pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
73 $ tazpkg list cat
|
|
pankso@7
|
74 $ tazpkg list base-system
|
|
pankso@7
|
75 </pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
76 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
77 Tazpkg can also generate a nice xHTML list (default: <code>installed-packages.html</code>) in the local directory of all installed packages on the system:
|
|
pankso@7
|
78 </p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
79 <pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
80 $ tazpkg xhtml-list
|
|
pankso@7
|
81 </pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
82 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
83 To get a single list of all available packages on the mirror you can use
|
|
pankso@7
|
84 the command <code>list-mirror</code>, you can then examine the list in your favorite editor
|
|
pankso@7
|
85 or use the Web site interface.
|
|
pankso@7
|
86 </p>
|
|

|
87

|

88 <a name="install"></a>
|
|
pankso@7
|
89 <h3>Install packages</h3>
|
|
pankso@7
|
90 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
91 To install some new applications such as The Gimp, AbiWord, ePDFView, Perl or
|
|
pankso@7
|
92 Python, you first need to recharge the list of available packages on the
|
|
pankso@7
|
93 mirror and then install. If the package dependencies are not installed
|
|
pankso@7
|
94 Tazpkg will install them for you. For example, the installation of Gparted a
|
|
pankso@7
|
95 GTK+ partition editor using GNU parted:
|
|
pankso@7
|
96 </p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
97 <pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
98 # tazpkg recharge
|
|
pankso@7
|
99 # tazpkg get-install gparted
|
|
pankso@7
|
100 </pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
101
|
|
pankso@7
|
102 <a name="upgrade"></a>
|
|
pankso@7
|
103 <h3>Upgrade installed packages</h3>
|
|
pankso@7
|
104 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
105 To keep your system up-to-date and secure after recharging the packages list,
|
|
pankso@7
|
106 you can automatically install all new versions and security updates from the
|
|
pankso@7
|
107 mirror with the command:
|
|
pankso@7
|
108 </p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
109 <pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
110 # tazpkg upgrade
|
|
pankso@7
|
111 </pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
112
|
|
pankso@7
|
113 <a name="tazwok"></a>
|
|
pankso@7
|
114 <h3>Tazwok & the wok</h3>
|
|
pankso@7
|
115 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
116 All SliTaz packages are built with a tool named Tazwok and a receipt found
|
|
pankso@7
|
117 in the wok. The receipt provides all the necessary information to build a suitable
|
|
pankso@7
|
118 package for Tazpkg, variables to give us the package name, source tarball format,
|
|
pankso@7
|
119 download URL, etc. With a receipt then the <code>compile_rules</code> function has got all
|
|
pankso@7
|
120 the necessary commands to configure, make and install the package in a specific directory.
|
|
pankso@7
|
121 After the compilation, Tazwok will execute the function <code>genpkg_rules</code>
|
|
pankso@7
|
122 to pick up only the needed/wanted files and generate a pkg.tazpkg (cpio archive).
|
|
pankso@7
|
123 On SliTaz you will find all installed package receipts in the directory
|
|
pankso@7
|
124 <code>/var/lib/tazpkg/installed</code>, feel free to examine them or even use one as an
|
|
pankso@7
|
125 example.
|
|
pankso@7
|
126 </p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
127 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
128 Tazwok will search by default for a wok in <code>/home/slitaz/wok</code> and
|
|
pankso@7
|
129 put generated packages in <code>/home/slitaz/packages</code>, these paths are
|
|
pankso@7
|
130 set by a Tazwok configuration file which can be located in
|
|
pankso@7
|
131 <code>/etc/tazwok.conf</code> or in the current directory, this is useful if you
|
|
pankso@7
|
132 want to work with multiple woks. Now, if the <code>slitaz-toolchain</code> is
|
|
pankso@9
|
133 installed, you can start to create and build a package which doesn't need many
|
|
pankso@7
|
134 dependencies. Small example:
|
|
pankso@7
|
135 </p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
136 <pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
137 # tazwok new-tree pkgname --interactive
|
|
pankso@7
|
138 </pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
139 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
140 When a new package tree and receipt has been created in the wok, you can edit the
|
|
pankso@7
|
141 receipt with your favorite editor (Geany provides nicely colored code), modify
|
|
pankso@7
|
142 the rules functions, add dependencies to the <code>DEPENDS</code> variable
|
|
pankso@7
|
143 if needed and try a first cook:
|
|
pankso@7
|
144 </p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
145 <pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
146 # tazwok cook pkgname
|
|
pankso@7
|
147 </pre>
|
|
pankso@7
|
148 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
149 Note that you can now browse the generated files, modify the cooking receipt again or
|
|
pankso@7
|
150 just rebuild the package with <code>tazwok genpkg</code>. When you are happy with
|
|
pankso@7
|
151 your work you can install the package with <code>tazpkg install</code> and
|
|
pankso@7
|
152 test the application or library.
