Re: package +MANIFEST file - look inside
Thanks. jq was quite helpful but the syntax convoluted. Fortunately with thispkg info -R -F xyzzy-1.0.txz (and some while reads) and/usr/local/sbin/pkg-static -d add --no-scripts -f I was able to achieve all my short term goals. I did not know that I could examine the package content without installing. This is a great bonus. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Thank-you. Assuming a package called (say) xyzzy: pkg fetch xyzzy pkg info -R -F xyzzy-1.0.txz (or whatever) Redirect the output from pkg info to somewhere, and use jq to analyse it. Or use: pkg-info --raw-format yaml -F xyzzy-1.0.txz and then a yaml analyser. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

There are cases where we want to review what the scripts section of the +MANIFEST contains. In particular the post-install script. What we're trying to achieve is something like pkg view scripts post-install -f $OUTPUT so we can modify or run it at a better time, like first boot. If you want to modify or run in in a better time then you probably need to know it before running pkg install / pkg upgrade command. Then you probably need to fetch a package alone (pkg upgrade with -f or --fetch-only) and then you can unpack +MANIFEST from it and use some JSON / YAML tool to examine content (e.g. textproc/jq). After that you can run pkg upgrade (or pkg install) again with -I or --no-install-scripts. As a follow-on from this, we would like to use the "files" list to set the MAC mls/ settings as a post-install task, so getting the first, filename element (of filename:signature,) from the "files" list is important. Thank-you. You can get the list of the installed files by "pkg info -l pkgname" or "pkg query '%Fp' pkgname" Miroslav Lachman ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Is there a command, or short script that enables the +MANIFEST to be examined. There are cases where we want to review what the scripts section of the +MANIFEST contains. In particular the post-install script. What we're trying to achieve is something like pkg view scripts post-install -f $OUTPUT so we can modify or run it at a better time, like first boot. As a follow-on from this, we would like to use the "files" list to set the MAC mls/ settings as a post-install task, so getting the first, filename element (of filename:signature,) from the "files" list is important.
