NAME

mkrootfs — make root filesystem for chroot installation

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The mkrootfs utility builds customized root filesystem for chroot installation. By default, mkrootfs builds and installs all packages from “core” pkgsrc collection, unless pkgname(s) specified.

The options are as follows:

-B

Prepare rootfs directory.

-C

Check rootfs directory for missing libraries.

-T

Compress rootfs directory (prepare tarball).

-c conffile, --config=conffile

Specify an alternate configuration file instead of the default /etc/mkrootfs/config.

-l logfile, --log=logfile

Specify an alternate log file for pkgman(1) invocations instead of the default “/tmp/rootfs-⟨DATE⟩-⟨ARCH⟩.log”.

Here and below ⟨DATE⟩ is the output of “date +%F”, and ⟨ARCH⟩ is the output of “uname -m” commands.

-r rootfsdir, --rootfs=rootfsdir

Specify an alternate rootfs directory instead of the default “/tmp/rootfs-⟨DATE⟩-⟨ARCH⟩/”.

-t tarball, --tar=tarball

Specify an alternate compressed rootfs tarball instead of the default “/tmp/rootfs-⟨DATE⟩-⟨ARCH⟩.tar.xz”.

-x pkgmk_conffile, --pkgmk-config=pkgmk_conffile

Specify an alternate configuration file for pkgmk(8) invocations instead of the default /etc/pkgmk.conf.

-y pkgman_conffile, --pkgman-config=pkgman_conffile

Specify an alternate configuration file for pkgman(1) invocations instead of the default /etc/pkgman.conf.

-v, --verbose
