bpkg-cfg-create(1) General Commands Manual bpkg-cfg-create(1) NAME bpkg-cfg-create - create configuration SYNOPSIS bpkg cfg-create|create [options] [cfg-args] bpkg cfg-create|create [options] --existing|-e cfg-args = (module | cfg-var)... DESCRIPTION The cfg-create command creates a new bpkg configuration with the speci- fied build2 modules and configuration variables (the first form) or initializes one based on an existing build system configuration (the second form). The bpkg configuration itself is a build system configu- ration; see build system driver (b(1)) create meta-operation for de- tails. Unless the --existing|-e or --wipe option is specified, cfg-create ex- pects the configuration directory to be empty or to not exist (in which case it will be created). By default, the configuration created with the first form loads the config, test, dist, and install modules. However, additional modules and, if required, their configuration variables can be specified as the cfg-create arguments. For example: bpkg create cxx config.cxx=clang++ config.install.root=/usr/local By default, bpkg appends .config to the names of the modules that you specify so that only their configurations are loaded. You can override this behavior by specifying the period (.) after the module name. You can also instruct bpkg to use the optional module load by prefixing the module name with the question mark (?). For example: bpkg create cxx. "?cli" Configurations can be linked with each other to allow a package to be built in one configuration while its dependencies in one or more linked configurations. This can be used to create a "base" configuration with common dependencies that are shared between multiple configurations. This mechanism is also used to provide a host configuration that is used to build build-time dependencies. Each configuration is assigned an automatically-generated UUID unless one is specified with the --uuid option. This UUID is used to check the integrity of configuration links. For convenience of referring to linked configurations, a configuration can also be assigned a name with the --name option. A configuration also has a type specified with the --type option. Three predefined types are target, host, and build2. If the type is not spec- ified explicitly, then target is assumed. When satisfying a dependency of one package on another, a linked configuration will only be consid- ered if (1) it has the same type as the other configuration for run- time dependencies, (2) it has the host type for regular build-time de- pendencies, and (3) it has the build2 type for build system module build-time dependencies. Note that a host configuration is a target configuration for the host machine. So to create a self-hosted configu- ration, use type host. To link a configuration we use the bpkg-cfg-link(1) command. As a shortcut, host and build system module configurations can also be linked during the configuration creation with the --host-config and --build2-config options, respectively. If a build-time dependency is encountered in a configuration that has no linked configuration of a suitable type (host or build2, nor is itself of a suitable type), then a private host or build system module configuration named host or build2, respectively, is created automatically inside the configura- tion's .bpkg/ subdirectory. CFG-CREATE OPTIONS --directory|-d dir Create the configuration in dir rather than in the current work- ing directory. --existing|-e Initialize a bpkg configuration based on an existing build sys- tem configuration. --wipe Wipe the configuration directory clean before creating the new configuration. For safety, this option requires that you spec- ify the configuration directory explicitly with --directory|-d. --host-config dir Link the specified host configuration with the configuration be- ing created as if by running the bpkg-cfg-link(1) command. --no-host-config Ignore any specified --host-config options. --build2-config dir Link the specified build system module configuration with the configuration being created as if by running the bpkg-cfg- link(1) command. --no-build2-config Ignore any specified --build2-config options. --name name The name of the configuration being created. If this configura- tion is linked with another configuration using bpkg-cfg- link(1), this name will be used as the link name unless overrid- den. By default the configuration is created unnamed. --type type The type of the configuration being created. By default, config- uration of type target is created. --uuid uuid Use the specified UUID as the configuration id instead of gener- ating one automatically. COMMON OPTIONS The common options are summarized below with a more detailed descrip- tion available in bpkg-common-options(1). -v Print essential underlying commands being executed. -V Print all underlying commands being executed. --quiet|-q Run quietly, only printing error messages. --verbose level Set the diagnostics verbosity to level between 0 and 6. --stdout-format format Representation format to use for printing to stdout. --jobs|-j num Number of jobs to perform in parallel. --no-result Don't print informational messages about the outcome of perform- ing a command or some of its parts. --structured-result fmt Write the result of performing a command in a structured form. --progress Display progress indicators for long-lasting operations, such as network transfers, building, etc. --no-progress Suppress progress indicators for long-lasting operations, such as network transfers, building, etc. --diag-color Use color in diagnostics. --no-diag-color Don't use color in diagnostics. --build path The build program to be used to build packages. --build-option opt Additional option to be passed to the build program. --fetch path The fetch program to be used to download resources. --fetch-option opt Additional option to be passed to the fetch program. --fetch-timeout sec The fetch and fetch-like (for example, git) program timeout. --pkg-proxy url HTTP proxy server to use when fetching package manifests and archives from remote pkg repositories. --git path The git program to be used to fetch git repositories. --git-option opt Additional common option to be passed to the git program. --sha256 path The sha256 program to be used to calculate SHA256 sums. --sha256-option opt Additional option to be passed to the sha256 program. --tar path The tar program to be used to extract package archives. --tar-option opt Additional option to be passed to the tar program. --openssl path The openssl program to be used for crypto operations. --openssl-option opt Additional option to be passed to the openssl program. --auth type Types of repositories to authenticate. --trust fingerprint Trust repository certificate with a SHA256 fingerprint. --trust-yes Assume the answer to all authentication prompts is yes. --trust-no Assume the answer to all authentication prompts is no. --git-capabilities up=pc Protocol capabilities (pc) for a git repository URL prefix (up). --pager path The pager program to be used to show long text. --pager-option opt Additional option to be passed to the pager program. --options-file file Read additional options from file. --default-options dir The directory to load additional default options files from. --no-default-options Don't load default options files. --keep-tmp Don't remove the bpkg's temporary directory at the end of the command execution and print its path at the verbosity level 2 or higher. DEFAULT OPTIONS FILES See bpkg-default-options-files(1) for an overview of the default op- tions files. For the cfg-create command the search start directory is the parent directory of the new configuration. The following options files are searched for in each directory and, if found, loaded in the order listed: bpkg.options bpkg-cfg-create.options The following cfg-create command options cannot be specified in the de- fault options files: --directory|-d --wipe BUGS Send bug reports to the users@build2.org mailing list.
