michael@13: .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
michael@13: This is an auxiliary tool to the RedHat Package Manager (\s-1RPM\s0). It
michael@13: provides additional functionality for use in \s-1RPM\s0 \fIspec\fR files while
michael@13: building packages. The following \fIcommand\fRs are available:
michael@13: .IP "\fBplatform\fR" 4
michael@13: .IX Item "platform"
michael@13: This command outputs a unique platform id in the format
michael@13: \&\*(L"<architecture>\-<system><release>\*(R". For instance, the output on a
michael@13: FreeBSD platform can be \*(L"i386\-freebsd4.2\*(R", the output on a Linux
michael@13: platform can be \*(L"i686\-linux2.2.16\*(R", the output on a Solaris platform can
michael@13: be \*(L"sun4u\-sunos5.8\*(R", etc.

michael@13: This command outputs additional flags for \fImake\fR\|(1) for
michael@13: use with the program \fItool\fR. It provides only standard flags which
michael@13: always can be used. In conjunction with \fB\-O\fR (optimization), it also provides
michael@13: reasonable job control for use on multi-processor platforms (for instance it
michael@13: outputs \*(L"\-j4\*(R" on an \s-1SMP\s0 system with 2 CPUs if \s-1GNU\s0 make or \s-1BSD\s0 pmake is used).

michael@13: .IX Item "cflags [-O] tool"
michael@13: This command outputs additional flags for \fIcc\fR\|(1) for use with the program
michael@13: \&\fItool\fR. It provides only standard flags which always can be used.
michael@13: conjunction with \fB\-O\fR it provides also optimization flags (for instance
michael@13: it outputs \*(L"\-O2 \-pipe\*(R" for \s-1GNU\s0 C/\*(C+ compiler).

michael@13: This command output \fIcpp\fR\|(1) \f(CW\*(C`\-I\*(C'\fR options for the OpenPKG instance
michael@13: \&\fIprefix\fR. It optionally can prefix or suffix with one or more \fIsubdir\fR
michael@13: related options, too. If \fIsubdir\fR is prefixed with \f(CW\*(C`+\*(C'\fR (or not
michael@13: prefixed at all), the generated option is appended. If \fIsubdir\fR is
michael@13: prefixed with \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR the generated option is prepended.

michael@13: .IX Item "files [-v] [-o outfile] [-r build-root] [entry ...]"
michael@13: This is a dynamic variant of the \s-1RPM\s0 \f(CW%files\fR section, i.e., it
michael@13: dynamically creates the contents of the \f(CW%files\fR section for use with
michael@13: the \f(CW\*(C`%files \-f\*(C'\fR command. For this the file list entries are read from
michael@13: the command line (or from stdin if no arguments are given or a single
michael@13: argument \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR is given) and written to stdout (if no \fB\-o\fR option is
michael@13: given or its \fIoutfile\fR argument is \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR) or to \fIoutfile\fR.
michael@13: .Sp
michael@13: The trick of this approach is to be able to use additional features in
michael@13: the file list which \s-1RPM\s0 does not provide. The following features are
michael@13: provided:
michael@13: .RS 4
michael@13: .IP "\fBTrailing Tags\fR" 4
michael@13: .IX Item "Trailing Tags"
michael@13: \&\s-1RPM\s0 requires that all tags (like \f(CW\*(C`%attr(...)\*(C'\fR or \f(CW%dir\fR) preceed the
michael@13: path in a file list entry. This sometimes leads to ugly and unreadable
michael@13: file lists, because all paths cannot be left\-aligned. With \fIrpmtool\fR\|(8)
michael@13: tags in the input file list can be at leading and trailing positions.
michael@13: The output file list will nevertheless have all tags in leading
michael@13: positions for \s-1RPM\s0.
michael@13: .IP "\fBSyntactical Set Pattern\fR" 4
michael@13: .IX Item "Syntactical Set Pattern"
michael@13: \&\s-1RPM\s0 supports simple wildcard patterns like \f(CW\*(C`/path/*\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`/path/[a\-z]\*(C'\fR,
michael@13: etc. Sometimes it is convenient, to also have (in addition to character
michael@13: sets) string sets like \f(CW\*(C`/path/{foo,bar,quux}\*(C'\fR. \fIrpmtool\fR\|(8) provides this
michael@13: by syntactically (without checking the filesystem) expanding those
michael@13: string sets.
michael@13: .IP "\fBOverriding Entries\fR" 4
michael@13: .IX Item "Overriding Entries"
michael@13: This is the most important feature and the reason why \fIshtool\fR\|(1)'s
michael@13: \&\fBfiles\fR command was implemented. Although \s-1RPM\s0 allows one to specify a
michael@13: directory in a file list and then implicitly expands this recursively
michael@13: into its contents, it unfortunately does not allow one to later
michael@13: explcitly override particular entries (usually if an individual
michael@13: \&\f(CW\*(C`%attr(...)\*(C'\fR tag is required). \fIrpmtool\fR\|(8) now supports overriding
michael@13: entries, i.e., if a path occurs multiple times, only the last occurance
michael@13: is kept.
michael@13: .IP "\fBNegation Tag\fR" 4
michael@13: .IX Item "Negation Tag"
michael@13: This provides an additional tag \f(CW%not\fR which can be used to explicitly
michael@13: exclude a previously implicitly added entry.
