QUICKPKG(1) Portage QUICKPKG(1)NAMEquickpkg - creates portage packages
SYNOPSISquickpkg [options] <list of packages or package-sets>
DESCRIPTIONquickpkg can be utilized to quickly create a package for portage by
utilizing the files already on your filesystem. This package then can
be emerged on any system. To review syntax for emerging binary pack‐
ages, review emerge(1). The upside of this process is that you don't
have to wait for the package to unpack, configure, compile, and install
before you can have the package ready to go. The downside is that the
package will contain the files that exist on your filesystem even if
they have modified since they were first installed.
The packages, after being created, will be placed in PKGDIR. This
variable is defined in make.conf(5) and defaults to /usr/portage/pack‐
ages.
OPTIONS
<list of packages or package-sets>
Each package in the list can be of two forms. First you can
give it the full path to the installed entry in the virtual
database. That is, /var/db/pkg/<CATEGORY>/<PKG-VERSION>/. The
second form is a portage depend atom or a portage package set.
The atom or set is of the same form that you would give emerge
if you wanted to emerge something. See ebuild(5) for full defi‐
nition.
--ignore-default-opts
Causes the QUICKPKG_DEFAULT_OPTS environment variable to be
ignored.
--include-config < y | n >
Include all files protected by CONFIG_PROTECT (as a security
precaution, default is 'n').
--include-unmodified-config < y | n >
Include files protected by CONFIG_PROTECT that have not been
modified since installation (as a security precaution, default
is 'n').
--umask=UMASK
The umask used during package creation (default is 0077).
