yalpack is a simple set of package management tools for LFS/BLFS-based systems. It consists of POSIX-compliant scripts and man pages designed to make managing upgrades and trying out new software easier:

  • Install compiled software as a package
  • Easily remove unwanted software
  • Make upgrades simple(r)
  • No space to keep package tarballs? No problem.
  • Manage and log .new files
  • Generate and retrieve dynamic library information to help with dependency management
  • Retrieve a list of installed packages (with or without version information)

yalpack can be used at any point once all temporary tools have been built. This has been tested successfully on LFS 10.1 (sysvinit). Under no circumstances should yalpack be used on the "host" system.

See INSTALL or run "make all" for details about installation!

Changes from 0.1.1

  • Some of the man pages contained outdated information reflecting the pre-release state of yalpack; this has been fixed. I apologize for any inconvenience.
  • Other changes to the man pages for style and clarity
  • Wording changes in the README files
