tpkg

tpkg looks at /etc/tpkg.conf and $HOME/.tpkg.conf for configuration settings. Here are the possible configurations:

  base              = /opt/tpkg
  source            = http://tpkg/tpkg
  source            = http://otherserver/tpkg
  report_server     = http://tpkg/client_update
  host_group_script = /home/me/tpkg_group_script
  sudo              = false

base

This is where relocatable packages are installed, and where tpkg stores its state. Defaults to /opt/tpkg if not specified in any of the config files.

source

The package repository. May be specified multiple times with different URLs if you have more than one repository.

report_server

The URL for the reporting server, if you've set it up. If this is defined then all package install/upgrade/removal operations will be reported to the server.

host_group_script

The filename for a script which takes one or more host group names as arguments and outputs the names of the hosts in those groups one per line on stdout. Used with the --group option.

sudo

Should tpkg use sudo when performing package management operations? Defaults to yes.
