A binary package built with xbps is a normal tar(1) archive, compressed
|
|
with bzip2 and has the following structure:
|
|
|
|
/
|
|
/usr ------|
|
|
/var ------| => Package structure that will be installed.
|
|
/etc ------|
|
|
...
|
|
/var/cache/xbps/metadata/$pkgname
|
|
/var/cache/xbps/metadata/$pkgname/flist
|
|
/var/cache/xbps/metadata/$pkgname/props.plist
|
|
/var/cache/xbps/metadata/$pkgname/postpre-action
|
|
|
|
Metadata info is stored in the "/var/cache/xbps/metadata/$pkgname"
|
|
directory and two files will be always be present: flist and props.plist.
|
|
|
|
The flist file contains the list of files that the package will
|
|
install. The props.plist file is a proplib(3) property list and
|
|
has the following structure:
|
|
|
|
<dict>
|
|
<key>pkgname</key>
|
|
<string>foo</string>

The prepost-action is an executable script/command that allows you to
|
|
trigger any action at pre/post installation/removal of the binary
|
|
package. If return value is not 0, the package won't be registered into
|
|
the database.
|
|
|
|
The package's dictionary will also be written into the repository's package
|
|
index file, that describes information about a binary package on it.
|
|
See the BINPKG_REPOSITORY file for more info about repositories.
