OVERVIEW

pkgmk is a package build utility that creates installable software packages.

This project is a fork of CRUX pkgmk (part of pkgutils), starting from commit 9ca0da6 (Sat Nov 17 2018), with the following key differences:

• POSIX sh(1p) (with local support) instead of bash(1)
• Support of suckless sbase
• Optional downloader support: aria2c(1) in addition to curl(1)/wget(1)
• Manual pages in scdoc(5) format, including new ones:
  • pkgmk.32bit(5)
  • pkgmk.Pkgfile(5)
  • pkgmk.footprint(5)
  • pkgmk.md5sum(5)
  • pkgmk.nostrip(5)
• Bash completion
• Removed options: -i, -u, -r, -in
• Removed signify(1) support
• GNU-style options, help, and usage
• Support for zstd-compressed packages
• Ability to rename downloaded tarballs
• Ignore extended attributes when extracting tarballs
• Configure archive formats for created packages
• Use pigz(1) for both manpage and archive compression if available in PATH

See git log for the full history.
