./pkgtools/genpkgng, Convert a pkgsrc binary package to a FreeBSD pkg

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 20140425, Package name: genpkgng-20140425, Maintainer: agc

This is a small utility to generate a FreeBSD pkg binary package
from a pkgsrc binary package. It is invoked simply, using a command
like:

genpkgng ssam-1.9nb1.tgz

and it will convert the pkgsrc binary package to a pkg one:

% ./genpkgng.sh perl-5.18.1nb2.tgz
Converting perl-5.18.1nb2.tgz

Log message:
all: migrate several HOMEPAGEs to https
pkglint --only "https instead of http" -r -F
With manual adjustments afterwards since pkglint 19.4.4 fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines.
This mainly affects projects hosted at SourceForce, as well as
freedesktop.org, CTAN and GNU.

Log message:
Initial import of genpkgng, a utility which will convert a pkgsrc
binary package to a FreeBSD binary pkg.  pkgsrc binary packages keep
more metadata, and do Dewey matching on package version numbers, so
it's not possible to convert in the other direction.
