PKGENPACK(1)							  [FIXME: manual]						      PKGENPACK(1)

NAME

       pkgenpack - PackageKit Pack Generator

SYNOPSIS

       pkgenpack [--help] [--verbose] [--with-package-list] [--output] [--package] [--updates]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the pkgenpack command.

       pkgenpack is the command line client for PackageKit for creating service packs.

WHAT IS A SERVICE PACK
?
       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.

CREATING A SERVICE PACK
?
       A service pack is created using the command pkgenpack.

OPTIONS

       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.

NAMING A SERVICE PACK

       The only valid extension for a service pack is ".servicepack".

EXAMPLES

       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.

INSTALLING A SERVICE PACK

       Service Packs can be installed using pkcon. For example:

	   [hacker@tim-lounge:~]$ pkcon install /media/USB/TimPacks/valgrind-fedora-9-i686.servicepack

NAME

       go - tool for managing Go source code

SYNOPSIS

       go build [-o output] [ build flags ] [ packages ]

DESCRIPTION

       Build compiles the packages named by the import paths, along with their dependencies, but it does not install the results.

       If the arguments are a list of .go files, build treats them as a list of source files specifying a single package.

       When the command line specifies a single main package, build writes the resulting executable to output.	Otherwise build compiles the pack-
       ages but discards the results, serving only as a check that the packages can be built.

       The -o flag specifies the output file name.  If not specified, the name is packagename.a (for a non-main package) or the base name  of  the
       first source file (for a main package).

OPTIONS

       The build flags are shared by the build, install, run, and test commands:

       -a     force rebuilding of packages that are already up-to-date.

       -n     print the commands but do not run them.

       -p n   the number of builds that can be run in parallel. The default is the number of CPUs available.

       -v     print the names of packages as they are compiled.

       -work  print the name of the temporary work directory and do not delete it when exiting.

       -x     print the commands.

       -compiler name
	      name of compiler to use, as in runtime.Compiler (gccgo or gc)

       -gccgoflags 'arg list'
	      arguments to pass on each gccgo compiler/linker invocation

       -gcflags 'arg list'
	      arguments to pass on each 5g, 6g, or 8g compiler invocation

       -ldflags 'flag list'
	      arguments to pass on each 5l, 6l, or 8l linker invocation

       -tags 'tag list'
	      a  list  of  build tags to consider satisfied during the build.  See the documentation for the go/build package for more information
	      about build tags.

       For more about specifying packages, see go-packages(7).

       For more about where packages and binaries are installed, see go-gopath(1).
