.SH DESCRIPTION

\fBmpkg\fR is a specialized tool for unpacking PAC archives onto the local

filesystem in a way that can be undone. To achive that, \fBmpkg deploy\fR

saves a list of files about to be unpacked in a pre-defined location,

which both \fBmpkg remove\fR and \fBmpkg list\fR use later.

'''

.SH CONFIGURATION

While deploying, \fBmpkg\fR checks that the package being deployed follows

local policy, in that the files are only deploy to allowed locations.

.P

.ni

# Source directory

from /var/cache/packages

# Installation prefix

into /

# Paths within the package to install or skip

pass bin

pass lib

skip man

# Different package group, packages here would be named opt:name

group opt

from /var/cache/packages/opt

into /opt

# pass everything

.fi

.P

Paths that are neither allowed nor skipped are disallowed.

\fBmpkg\fR will refuse to deploy a package containing disallowed paths.
