|
|
Take a look at the commands that will be executed upon installation
|
|
of a package.

|
|
the usage of the fileselector.

|
|
.B <Cancel>

Once a directory has been chosen, it will be scanned for packages files,
|
|
tpically files ending in '.tgz'. These will be listed in
|
|
a listbox (the one on the left) as well as the already installed
|
|
packages, that will be listed in a similar box (on the right side).
|
|
Use TAB or SHIFT-TAB to move from field to field.
|
|
Packages can be selected in the left listbox, using either the
|
|
space bar, to mark/unmark a single package at a time, or by using

|
|
Well just try this one if you get fed up fiddling with your packages.
|
|
|
|
.SH USING THE FILESELECTOR
|
|
|
|
Using the fileselector is really very simple.
|
|
|
|
.\"
|
|
.\" Does anyone know how I can enter this into the manpage?
|
|
.\"
|
|
.\"+----------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
.\"| Filemask: Directory: |
|
|
.\"| +-----------------+ +----------------------------------+ |
|
|
.\"| |*.tgz | |/seperate/home/marc/src/pkg_manage| |
|
|
.\"| +-----------------+ +----------------------------------+ |
|
|
.\"| | Directories: Files: |
|
|
.\"| +--------------------------+ +-------------------------+ |
|
|
.\"| |.. | |mlist-1.2_bin.tgz | |
|
|
.\"| |libdialog | | | |
|
|
.\"| | | | | |
|
|
.\"| | | | | |
|
|
.\"| | | | | |
|
|
.\"| | | | | |
|
|
.\"| | | | | |
|
|
.\"| +-------------------(100%)-+ +------------------(100%)-+ |
|
|
.\"| Selection: |
|
|
.\"| +------------------------------------------------------+ |
|
|
.\"| | | |
|
|
.\"| +------------------------------------------------------+ |
|
|
.\"| +------+ +----------+ |
|
|
.\"| | <Ok> | | <Cancel> | |
|
|
.\"| +------+ +----------+ |
|
|
.\"+----------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
.\"
|
|
Use the
|
|
.B TAB
|
|
key to move forwards from one input/display field to
|
|
the next. If enabled in the termcap,
|
|
.B Shift-TAB
|
|
will move backwards.
|
|
Pressing enter in a field will perform the changes you may have made and
|
|
move to the next field. Pressing
|
|
.B TAB
|
|
will discard the changes and move to the next field.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.B "Filemask:"
|
|
controls what kind of files will be displayed in the
|
|
.B "Files:"
|
|
list. The expression follows the same rules as your shell does, i.e.
|
|
\'*.tgz' will only show files having names ending with '.tgz'.
|
|
|
|
.B "Directory:"
|
|
displays the current directory. You can also type in another directory
|
|
in this field.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.B "Directories:"
|
|
list enables you to browse the filesystem. Select
|
|
.B '..'
|
|
and press enter to
|
|
go up the directory tree, select any other directory listed to descent
|
|
into that directory.
|
|
|
|
Finally there three more fields: The
|
|
.B Selection:
|
|
, the
|
|
.B <Ok>
|
|
button and the
|
|
.B <Cancel>
|
|
button. The file chosen in the
|
|
.B Files:
|
|
field, assuming you pressed enter, will be displayed in the
|
|
.B Selection:
|
|
field. You can also change this value directly by editing the field.
|
|
|
|
When you are satisfied with the current selection you can move the cursor
|
|
to the
|
|
.B <Ok>
|
|
button and press enter. If you want to back out, move the cursor to the
|
|
.B <Cancel>
|
|
button and press enter.
|
|
|
|
.SH USING THE DIRECTORYSELECTOR
|
|
|
|
This is basically the same as using the fileselector. There are just no
|
|
files to select. Once the directory has been chosen, choose
|
|
.B <OK>
|
|
|
|
.SH SEE ALSO
|
|
pkg_add(1), pkg_info(1), pkg_delete(1), pkg_create(1).

|
|

.SH BUGS
