It's explained in the BINPKG_INFO.txt file, and will be extended probably in a not so distant future. My next work will be working in the code to handle binary packages with a new utility in C. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : 1a1846e330fdb11f3dd79cf9d9f12c614098cfe8

A binary package built with xbps is a normal tar(1) archive, compressed
|
|
with gzip, bzip2 or lzma and has the following structure:
|
|
|
|
/
|
|
/usr ------|
|
|
/var ------| => Package structure that will be installed.
|
|
/etc ------|
|
|
...
|
|
/xbps-metadata
|
|
/xbps-metadata/flist
|
|
/xbps-metadata/props.plist
|
|
/xbps-metadata/postpre-action.sh
|
|
|
|
The xbps-metadata directory contains all the metadata related to this
|
|
package. 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>architecture</key>
|
|
<string>x86_64</string>
|
|
<key>installed_size</key>
|
|
<integer>500000</integer>
|
|
<key>configuration_files</key>
|
|
<array>
|
|
<string>/etc/foo.conf</string>
|
|
...
|
|
</array>
|
|
<key>run_depends</key>
|
|
<array>
|
|
<string>bofh-2.0</string>
|
|
<string>foof-1.1</string>
|
|
...
|
|
</array>
|
|
</dict>
|
|
|
|
This plist might be extended in the future if it's required or useful.
|
|
|
|
The postpre-action.sh script will be run as specified in the script,
|
|
and will do post/pre installation steps required for this package.
