NAME

6       bpkg-cfg-link - link configuration
7

SYNOPSIS

9       bpkg cfg-link [options] dir
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  cfg-link  command  links the specified bpkg configuration with the
13       current configuration. Note that it also establishes an implicit  back‐
14       link from the specified to the current configuration. See bpkg-cfg-cre‐
15       ate(1) for background on linked configurations.  To  unlink  previously
16       linked configurations use bpkg-cfg-unlink(1).
17
18       The  linked  configurations  are  normally referred to using names when
19       specified on the bpkg command line. Unless overridden with  the  --name
20       option,  the  original  configuration name is used to name the link. If
21       the link is unnamed, then it can be referred to using  the  numeric  id
22       that  is automatically assigned when establishing the link or using the
23       configuration UUID.
24
25       If the specified configuration path is relative,  then  it  is  rebased
26       relative  to  the  current  configuration directory. This way, when the
27       linked configurations are moved around together,  the  stored  relative
28       paths  remain  valid. If the specified directory path is absolute, then
29       it is stored as absolute unless the --relative option is  specified  in
30       which case it is also rebased relative to the current configuration di‐
31       rectory.
32
34       --name name
35              Alternative link name. If this option is not specified, then the
36              configuration  name  is used as the link name (see bpkg-cfg-cre‐
37              ate(1) for details).
38
39       --relative
40              Rebase the absolute linked configuration path  relative  to  the
41              current configuration directory.
42
43       --directory|-d dir
44              Assume  configuration is in dir rather than in the current work‐
45              ing directory.
