Tools for Pacman-G2

Summary

pacman-tools is a collection of handy scripts around pacman-g2 to build and maintain packages. The first stable Frugalware that shipped pacman-tools was 0.2 (Aurora).

Release Notes

Please see the NEWS file for information about what user-visible changes are introduced in a given release.

Requirements

These scripts are written in bash, python and perl, so you will need those interpreters to use all of them. Additionally the following libraries are required to use mkiso, the ISO9660 install image generation tool:

• libpacman

• glib2

• libxml2

You need to have asciidoc installed, if you want to build the documentation.

How to set it up

$ ./configure
$ make
# make install

will work as expected.
