PACOBALL(8)							      System							       PACOBALL(8)

NAME

       pacoball - Binary package support for paco(8).

SYNOPSIS

       pacoball [-bgftv] [-d DIR] [-1..9] [-a|<packages>]
       pacoball -e [-ltv] [-C DIR] <pacoballs>

DESCRIPTION

       By  default,  pacoball  may  be	given  one  or more package names as arguments, and for each of those packages it creates a binary tarball
       (.tar.bz2 or .tar.gz) containing all the currently installed files. For this to work the input packages have to be registered in  the  paco
       database.
       Leading slashes ('/') are stripped from the paths of the files in the tarballs.

       With  option  -e,  pacoball  admits  one or more previously created tarballs ("pacoballs") as arguments, and installs them into the system,
       optionally logging the installation with paco.

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
