bsdpkg

notes

Since this is a new language, pick small problems to solve before stitching them all together.

• how to traverse directories for file info
• sha265 a file
• deal with and use command-line options (flag pkg)
• read in a JSON manifest file
• interpolate file chsecksums into manifest
• how to print out a compact version of the manifest (omitempty?)
• interpolate pre/post de/install scripts into manifest
• add files to a tar
• gzip compress a tar
• assert /usr/local/* paths in the archive? (Yes)
• flags to set app version and pkg number
• move this to cmd/bsdpkg/readme.md
• tests

If I can get this working, packaging scripts can focus mostly on moving files into an appropriate hierarchy (see kmake), then invoking this.

So, this doesn't have to be complete enough to compete with the true pkg-create command. Just be something good enough for Clojure (or similar) apps.
