This manual page documents briefly the pkgenpack command.
pkgenpack is the command line client for PackageKit for creating service packs.
A service pack is a tarball which contains a set of packages and their dependencies. The user can reduce the dependencies to be packed using the −−with−package−list option. Along with the dependencies, a service pack has a file named metadata.conf which contains the information about the distribution and creation date of the pack.
A service pack is created using the command pkgenpack.
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (’−'). A summary of options is included below.
−−help
Show summary of options.
−−verbose
Show extra debugging information.
−−with−package−list
Set the filename of dependencies to be excluded.
Generally, the file list of packages is generated when doing a PackageKit refresh on the target system. If not specified, pkgenpack uses /var/lib/PackageKit/system.package−list by default.
−−output
The directory to put the pack file, or the current directory if omitted.
−−package
The package to be put into the ServicePack.
−−update
Put all updates available in the ServicePack.
The only valid extension for a service pack is ".servicepack".
1. Tim is facing problems with his Internet connection at home. He needs a service pack with valgrind and it's dependencies for his system. He asks James to generate a pack for him. Both know James's system should contain similar packages as Tim's system, as both of them have installed Fedora 9 two days ago.
James simply runs:
[james@jamesbook:~]$ pkgenpack −−output=/media/USB/TimPacks −−package=valgrind
This generates a file /media/USB/TimPacks/valgrind−fedora−9−i686.servicepack on the USB key Tim gave to James. Tim can now go home, insert the USB key and double clicks on the valgrind−fedora−9−i686.servicepack file to be prompted to install these packages.
2. Bill wants to create a service pack named kdegames−fedora−9−i686.servicepack for his new system which does not have an internet connection. He generates a list of packages on his system using pkcon list−create and copies that list to his USB key. He then gives that USB to Rishi who has a good internet connectivity. Rishi runs the following command on his system:
[rishi@devils−temple:~]$
pkgenpack
−−with−package−list=/media/USB/bill.package−list
\
−−output=/home/rishi/Desktop
−−program=kdegames
This generates a service pack, kdegames−fedora−9−i686.servicepack, on Rishi's Desktop, which can be distributed to Bill and users with similar requirements.
Service Packs can be installed using pkcon. For example:
[hacker@tim−lounge:~]$ pkcon install /media/USB/TimPacks/valgrind−fedora−9−i686.servicepack
pkmon (1). pkcon(1).
