NAME¶
pacorc - configuration file for paco
SYNOPSIS¶
/etc/pacorc
DESCRIPTION¶
pacorc is the system-wide configuration file for
paco(8), the
source code package organizer.
SYNTAX¶
The file consists of comments and key-value pairs. Comments are on separate
lines that start with a
# symbol. The key-value pairs are on the form:
where
key contains no whitespace and no equal signs.
value will be all of the text after the equal sign until (but not
including) the ending newline.
Occurences of $HOME and ${HOME} in
value are expanded to the value of the
environment variable HOME.
OPTIONS¶
The following options can be set. The equivalent command line options (if any),
are listed in brackets:
- LOGDIR [-L|--logdir]
-
Base paco logs directory. Default is '/var/log/paco'.
- MAX_DB_AGE
-
Maximmum database age (maximmum number of days since the last update of the
whole database). When this limit is reached paco prints a warning message.
If set to zero, the database is never considered too old. Default is
7.
- INCLUDE [-I|--include]
-
Colon-separated list of paths to scan when logging the installation of a
package. Default is '/'.
Shell wildcards are allowed in the paths. See PATH MATCHING below for
more details.
- EXCLUDE [-E|--exclude]
-
Colon-separated list of paths to skip when logging the installation of a
package. Default is '/dev:/tmp:/usr/src:/media:/sys:/usr/share/info/dir'.
Shell wildcards are allowed in the paths. See PATH MATCHING below for
more details.
- BLOCK_SIZE
-
File sizes in the logs are rounded up to the nearest multiple of this value.
This should be set to the block size of the file system. For most systems
this is 4096. If set to zero, paco retrieves the block size of the file
system for each file, which is the most accurate but time consuming
choice. Default is 0.
Note: This is not the same as the command line option -b (or
--block-size).
- APPARENT_SIZE
-
Like BLOCK_SIZE=1.
- LOG_IGNORE_ERRORS [--ignore-errors]
-
Setting this variable to 1 makes paco log packages even if the install
command fails. This allows for logging uncomplete installations, or clean
the filesystem after an installation failure. Default is 0.
- LOG_IGNORE_SHARED [--ignore-shared]
-
Setting this variable to 1 makes paco skip shared files when logging
packages. Default is 0.
- CASE_SENSITIVE
-
Setting this variable to 1 makes paco behave case-sensitively when matching
the package names given by the command line against the logged packages.
Default is 0.
PATH MATCHING¶
Variables
INCLUDE and
EXCLUDE accept a colon-separated list of
paths, each of which may contain shell-like wildcards (*, ? and [..]). Files
are matched against each of those paths, following the standard shell-like
expansion, but with the following exception: If a path in the list does not
contain any wildcard, and it is a directory, it matches any file within that
directory.
ENVIRONMENT¶
Paco honours the following environment variable:
- PACO_DEBUG
- If set to "yes", paco produces debugging messages, like the
command line option ' -vv'.
