bpkg Description

bpkg is a utility that tries to simplify the process of trying out new programs from source. bpkg project is a utility that tries to simplify the process of trying out new programs from source.bpkg will download, extract, configure, compile, install, generate a package in your system's native format, and finally integrate that package into your system's packaging system so that you can remove it cleanly. It has auto-detection for Arch Linux, Slackware, Red Hat, Gentoo and SuSE (though not all packaging back-ends are complete). bpkg is not intended as a replacement for normal packaging utilities. NOTE: bpkg is NOT heavily tested and could do bad things to your system. Use at your own risk.Installation:If all goes well, all you have to do to install bpkg is type: # make# make installbpkg should auto-detect your packaging system and generate a package for itself. You can also use make DESTDIR=/tmp/pkg install to install to a package root. If auto-packaging fails you can use make install-raw to do a normal unmanaged installation.What's New in This Release:· The build section was refactored so that it's cleaner.· Self-packaging was fixed so it should actually work if you don't already have installwatch installed.· The --build-with option was added.· By using --skip-build and --install-with, bpkg can now be used as a substitute for checkinstall.
