Update copyright, file server URL, modify doc and link logic.
Now documentation is installed by default to the correct path,
and QtCreator links against Qt shared libraries instead of Qt
static libraries. This unfortunate change supports Nokia's
unfortunate decision to poorly support static linking in Qt.

| michael@13 | 28 | |
| michael@13 | 29 | B<openpkg release> - OpenPKG Release Utility |
| michael@13 | 30 | |
| michael@13 | 31 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
| michael@13 | 32 | |
| michael@13 | 33 | B<openpkg release> [B<-F>|B<--fmt> I<format>] |
| michael@13 | 34 | |
| michael@13 | 35 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| michael@13 | 36 | |
| michael@13 | 37 | The B<openpkg release> command displays the OpenPKG release tag and |
| michael@13 | 38 | distribution URL. The release tag uniquely identifies an OpenPKG |
| michael@13 | 39 | distribution and the distribution URL is the location where the |
| michael@13 | 40 | distribution packages and indices are stored. |
| michael@13 | 41 | |
| michael@13 | 42 | =head1 OPTIONS |
| michael@13 | 43 | |
| michael@13 | 44 | =over 4 |
| michael@13 | 45 | |
| michael@13 | 46 | =item B<-F>, B<--fmt> I<format> |
| michael@13 | 47 | |
| michael@13 | 48 | The output format specification. The argument I<format> is an arbitrary |
| michael@13 | 49 | string which can contain the special expansion constructs "C<%t>" for |
| michael@13 | 50 | expanding the release tag, "C<%u>" for expanding the distribution URL |
| michael@13 | 51 | and "C<\n>" for expanding an embedded newline character. |
| michael@13 | 52 | The instance UUID information is also availble by expanding |
| michael@13 | 53 | C<%r> to UUID_REGISTRY, C<%i> to UUID_INSTANCE, C<%p> to UUID_PLATFORM. |
| michael@13 | 54 | The default I<format> is "C<OpenPKG-%t %u>". |
| michael@13 | 55 | |
| michael@13 | 56 | =item B<-r>, B<--release> I<release> |
| michael@13 | 57 | |
| michael@13 | 58 | The package "C<Release>" header value to use for deriving the release |
| michael@13 | 59 | tag. The values in the F<@l_prefix@/etc/openpkg/release> file and the |
| michael@13 | 60 | "C<Release>" header of the bootstrap package B<openpkg> are ignored if |
| michael@13 | 61 | this option is used. |

| michael@13 | 67 | =over 4 |
| michael@13 | 68 | |
| michael@13 | 69 | =item F<@l_prefix@/etc/openpkg/release> |
| michael@13 | 70 | |
| michael@13 | 71 | This optional configuration file can be used to explicitly set values |
| michael@13 | 72 | for the OpenPKG release tag and distribution URLs. It consists of lines |
| michael@13 | 73 | with variable name/value pairs. The following configuration variables |
| michael@13 | 74 | are recognized: |
| michael@13 | 75 | |
| michael@13 | 76 | =over 4 |
| michael@13 | 77 | |
| michael@13 | 78 | =item B<TAG=>I<tag> |
| michael@13 | 79 | |
| michael@13 | 80 | The default I<tag> is automatically derived from the "C<Version>" header |
| michael@13 | 81 | of the OpenPKG bootstrap package B<openpkg>. One usually only sets this |
| michael@13 | 82 | explicitly to a value if a bootstrap package is used from a foreign |
| michael@13 | 83 | distribution version. |
| michael@13 | 84 | |
| michael@13 | 85 | =item B<URL=>I<url> |
| michael@13 | 86 | |
| michael@13 | 87 | The fully-qualified distribution URL based on either the "C<ftp>", |
| michael@13 | 88 | "C<http>" or "C<file>" URL schemes. If I<url> contains a trailing |
| michael@13 | 89 | "C</*>", this is expanded according to the I<tag> value of the B<TAG> |
| michael@13 | 90 | variable and the corresponding filesystem layout on C<ftp.openpkg.org>. |
| michael@13 | 91 | The default I<url> is "C<ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/*>". |
