NAME
bpm -- menu-based binary package manager SYNOPSIS
bpm [-hnVv] [-b baseURL] [-m machine] [-r release] [-w seconds] DESCRIPTION
The bpm command is used to locate and install binary packages from any reachable URL. The following command-line options are supported: -b baseURL Specify a base URL from which to download binary packages. The default URL is ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages. -h Print a help message and then exit. -m machine Use machine as the machine architecture to be used, instead of that returned by uname(1). -n Don't actually execute the commands to add the package. -r release Use release as the operating system release to be used, instead of that returned by uname(1). -V Print version number and exit. -v Turn on verbose output. -w seconds The number of seconds to wait after displaying an error message and returning to normal menu operations. bpm provides a menu-based binary package manager for NetBSD. bpm first connects to the URL using ftp(1), and displays a list of categories for which binary packages exist. If no categories are displayed, it could be that the machine architecture or operating system release string have been wrongly interpreted, and that it will be necessary to override this values by means of the command line options. Within a category, a list of packages will be displayed, and by selecting one using the number assigned to it, the package will be downloaded automat- ically, and installed, using the pkg_add(1) utility. It is also possible to change the category currently being examined, and to quit from the utility, simply by selecting the appropriate choices on the menu. ENVIRONMENT
The environment variables which govern the behavior of ftp(1) and pkg_add(1) are valid for bpm. SEE ALSO

NAME
grid-ca-package - Prepare a CA certificate, configuration, and policy for distribution SYNOPSIS
grid-ca-package [-help] [-h] [-usage] [-version] [-versions] grid-ca-package [-ca HASH] [-g] [-b] [-r] [-d] DESCRIPTION
The grid-ca-package utility creates a tarball containing an RPM spec file and the files needed to use a CA with grid tools. It optionally will also create a GPT package for distributing a CA. By default, the grid-ca-package utility displays a list of installed grid CA and prompts for which CA to package. It then creates a tarball containing the CA certificate, signing policy, CA configuration files, and an spec script to generate a binary RPM package containing the CA. If the CA hash is known prior to running grid-ca-package, it may provided as an argument to the -ca parameter to avoid prompting. In addition to generating a spec script and tarball, grid-ca-package creates a GPT package if either the -g or -b options are used on the command-line. These packages may be used to distribute a CA and configuration to systems which do not support RPM packages. The grid-ca-package utility writes the package tarballs to the current working directory. The full set of command-line options to grid-ca-package follows. -help, -h, -usage Display the command-line options to grid-ca-package and exit. -version, -versions Display the version number of the grid-ca-package command. The second form includes more details. -ca CA Use the CA whose name matches the hash string CA. When invoked with this option, grid-ca-package runs non-interactively. -g Create a GPT binary package in addition to the RPM script tarball. This package may be installed on other systems using the gpt-install program. -b Create a GPT binary package with GPT metadata located in the path expected by GPT 3.2 (used in Globus 2.0.0-5.0.x) instead of ${datadir}/globus/packages as used in Globus 5.2.x. This option overrides the -g command-line option. -r Create a binary RPM package for the CA. This option currently only works on RPM-based distributions. -d Create a binary Debian package for the CA. This option currently only works on Debian-based distributions. EXAMPLES
