flag is a frontend for pkgsrc, a portable package build system. The goal is to have a tool similar to what emerge is for Portage or yaourt is for AUR. It should work on most platforms supported by pkgsrc, including NetBSD, Linux, macOS and others.

Usage

flag wraps existing pkgsrc tools and make targets in convenient subcommands:

• flag search tmux - search for package tmux, equivalent of pkgfind tmux
• flag install tmux - install package tmux, wrapper for cd /usr/pkgsrc/misc/tmux && make install clean clean-depends
• flag remove tmux - wrapper for [...] make deinstall
• flag options tmux - wrapper for [...] make show-options
• flag dependencies tmux - wrapper for [...] make show-depends

Building

flag is developed on systems with an existing pkgsrc installation. Requires at minimum NetBSD's make and a C compiler to build

NetBSD

make
PREFIX=/usr/local make install

Other OS

bmake
PREFIX=/usr/local bmake install

The $PREFIX value defaults to /usr/local and can be omitted
