epm(1) Michael R Sweet epm(1) NAME epm - create software packages. SYNOPSIS epm [ -a architecture ] [ -f format ] [ -g ] [ -k ] [ -m name ] [ -n[mrs] ] [ -s setup.ext ] [ --depend ] [ --help ] [ --keep-files ] [ --output-dir directory ] [ --setup-image setup.ext ] [ --setup-program /foo/bar/setup ] [ --setup-types setup.types ] [ --uninstall-program /foo/bar/uninst ] [ -v ] [ name=value name=value ] product [ listfile ] DESCRIPTION epm(1) generates software packages complete with installation, removal, and (if necessary) patch scripts. Unless otherwise specified, the files re- quired for product are read from a file named "product.list". OPTIONS The following options are recognized: -a architecture Specifies the actual architecture for the software. Without this op- tion the generic processor architecture is used ("intel", "sparc", "mips", etc.) -f bsd Generate a BSD distribution suitable for installation on a FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD system. -f deb Generate a Debian distribution suitable for installation on a Debian- based Linux system. -f native Generate a native distribution. This uses deb or rpm for Linux, bsd for FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, and macos for macOS. All other op- erating systems default to the portable format. -f macos -f macos-signed Generate a macOS software package. The macos-signed format uses the signing identity in the EPM_SIGNING_IDENTITY environment variable. -f portable Generate a portable distribution based on shell scripts and tar files. The resulting distribution is installed and removed the same way on all operating systems. [default] -f rpm -f rpm-signed Generate a Red Hat Package Manager ("RPM") distribution suitable for installation on an RPM-based Linux system. The rpm-signed format uses the GPG private key you have defined in the ~/.rpmmacros file. -g Disable stripping of executable files in the distribution. -k Keep intermediate (spec, etc.) files used to create the distribution in the distribution directory. -m name Specifies the platform name as a string. The default is to use the auto-generated name from the -n option. -n[mrs] Specifies the operating system and machine information that is in- cluded in the package name. Distributions normally are named "prod- uct-version-system-release-machine.ext" and "product-version-system- release-machine-patch.ext" for patch distributions. The "system-re- lease-machine" information can be customized or eliminated using the appropriate trailing letters. Using -n by itself will remove the "system-release-machine" string from the filename entirely. The let- ter 'm' includes the architecture (machine). The letter 'r' includes the operating system version (release). The letter 's' includes the operating system name. -v Increases the amount of information that is reported. Use multiple v's for more verbose output. --depend Lists the dependent (source) files for all files in the package. --output-dir directory Specifies the directory for output files. The default directory is based on the operating system, version, and architecture. -s setup.ext --setup-image setup.ext Include the ESP Software Wizard with the specified image file with the distribution. This option is currently only supported by portable distributions. --setup-program /foo/bar/setup Specifies the setup executable to use with the distribution. This op- tion is currently only supported by portable distributions. --setup-types setup.types Specifies the setup.types file to include with the distribution. This op- tion is currently only supported by portable distributions. --uninstall-program /foo/bar/uninst Specifies the uninst executable to use with the distribution. This option is currently only supported by portable distributions. ENVIRONMENT The following environment variables are supported by epm: EPM_SIGNING_IDENTITY The common name that should be used when signing a package. LIST FILES The EPM list file format is now described in the epm.list(5) man page. SEE ALSO epminstall(1), mkepmlist(1), epm.list(5), setup(1).
