6 bpkg-pkg-unpack - unpack package archive
7
9 bpkg pkg-unpack [options] (pkg[/ver] | --existing|-e dir)
10
12 If only the package name is specified, then the pkg-unpack command
13 unpacks the archive for the previously fetched (bpkg-pkg-fetch(1))
14 package. The resulting package state is unpacked (bpkg-pkg-status(1)).
15 If the package version is also specified, then the (source) directory
17 from one of the directory-based repositories (bpkg-rep-add(1)) is used
18 in place, without copying it into the configuration directory. Such a
19 package is called external.
20 If the --existing|-e option is used, then instead of the package name,
22 pkg-unpack expects a local path to an existing package directory. In
23 this case, bpkg will use the (source) directory in place, the same as
24 for packages from directory-based repositories. Also, unless the
25 --purge|-p option is specified, bpkg will not attempt to remove this
26 directory when the package is later purged with the bpkg-pkg-purge(1)
27 command. Such a package is also external.
28 If --existing|-e is specified together with the --replace|-r option,
30 then pkg-unpack will replace the archive and/or source directory of a
31 package that is already in the unpacked or fetched state.
32 An external package triggers several changes in semantics compared to a
34 normal package: The package (output) directory inside the configuration
35 is called just pkg rather than pkg-ver. It is also assumed that the
36 packaging information (package manifest and lockfile) for such packages
37 may change without incrementing the package version (for example, dur‐
38 ing development). To support this, bpkg implements the package itera‐
39 tion mechanism which may result in iteration numbers to be shown as
40 part of the package version, for example, 1.2.3#1 (see Package Version
41 (#package-version)).
42
44 --existing|-e
45 Treat the argument as an existing package directory path rather
46 than the package name to unpack.
47 --purge|-p
49 Remove the existing package directory when the package is
50 purged.
51 --replace|-r
53 Replace the source directory if the package is already unpacked
54 or fetched. Can only be specified with an external package.
55 --directory|-d dir
57 Assume configuration is in dir rather than in the current work‐
58 ing directory.

154
156 See bpkg-default-options-files(1) for an overview of the default
157 options files. For the pkg-unpack command the search start directory is
158 the configuration directory. The following options files are searched
159 for in each directory and, if found, loaded in the order listed:
160 bpkg.options
162 bpkg-pkg-unpack.options
163 The following pkg-unpack command options cannot be specified in the
165 default options files:
