NAME

amix-sadm-migrate - prepare the stock package database for apkg

SYNOPSIS

amix-sadm-migrate [ -n ]

DESCRIPTION

amix-sadm-migrate brings the package database of a stock Amix 2.1 system, /var/sadm, into the shape apkg(1) and the package tools expect. Run it once as root after installing the APKG package; running it again changes nothing and says so. It:

1.

copies /var/sadm/install/contents to contents.pre-migrate once, before any other change;

2.

adds VERSION=2.1 to every /var/sadm/pkg/pkg/pkginfo that has no VERSION= line (the factory packages have none, so apkg could not compare them);

3.

creates every missing /var/sadm/pkg/pkg/install directory;

4.

sets the mode of /var/sadm/install/contents to 644 (the factory ships it writable by everyone);

5.

prints a summary of what it did.

OPTIONS

-n

Dry run: print what would be done and change nothing.

ENVIRONMENT

SADM_ROOT

a directory prefixed to /var/sadm, for working on a tree other than the running system's

EXIT STATUS

0 on success, also when there was nothing to do; 1 on a usage error, when /var/sadm is missing, or when the backup fails (then nothing was changed).

FILES

/var/sadm/install/contents

the installed-software database

/var/sadm/install/contents.pre-migrate

the copy made before the first change

/var/sadm/pkg/pkg/pkginfo

each installed package's parameters
