URL2PKG(8)

NAME
url2pkg - Automatic pkgsrc package generator

SYNOPSIS
url2pkg [-v|--verbose] URL

DESCRIPTION
url2pkg takes the URL to a package's distfile that should be turned into a package. It fetches the distfile, extracts it, and by looking at the extracted files, fills in some variables in the package Makefile.

url2pkg helps creating a package; it is not intended to fly on autopilot, though.

ENVIRONMENT

PKGMAINTAINER, REPLYTO
    Name used for the MAINTAINER field in the package Makefile.

EXAMPLES
The following command will generate a template pkgsrc package for the software that can be found at https://www.example.org/download/buz-19.3.tar.gz:

    url2pkg https://www.example.org/download/buz-19.3.tar.gz
