|
.SH "TECHNICAL DETAILS"
|
|
.B
|
|
pkg_add
|
|
is fairly simple. It simply extracts the requested packages into
|
|
the current working directory and then performs the following steps:
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the package contains a
|
|
.B require
|
|
file (see
|
|
.B pkg_create
|
|
), then this is executed first with the flag
|
|
.b INSTALL
|
|
to see whether or not installation should
|
|
continue (a non-zero exit status means no).
|
|
.PP
|
|
If an
|
|
.B install
|
|
script exists for the package, it is then executed as follows:
|
|
.PP
|
|
First, before installing files in the data set, the
|
|
.B install
|
|
script is called with the flags
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B <script>
|
|
.I pkg-name PRE-INSTALL
|
|
.PP
|
|
Where
|
|
.I pkg-name
|
|
is the name of the package in question and
|
|
.I PRE-INSTALL
|
|
is a keyword denoting that this is the "pre installation" pass.
|
|
Files are then copied from the packing list into their new homes, as expected,
|
|
and the
|
|
.B install
|
|
script is then executed a second time with the flags
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B <script>
|
|
.I pkg-name POST-INSTALL
|
|
.PP
|
|
This all allows you to write an
|
|
.B install
|
|
script that does "before and after" actions.
|
|
.PP
|
|
After installation is complete, a copy of the packing list, in addition
|
|
to any
|
|
.B deinstall
|
|
script the package might have, is copied into /var/pkg/<pkg-name>
|
|
for subsequent possible use by
|
|
.B pkg-delete.
|
|
.PP
|
|
