2.2 Environment Variables

+ +

Since there is no configuration file for cpt, the package manager is configured +through environment variables. These can be set per operation, or be set to your +shell configuration or ~/.profile. Here are the environment variables that +alter the behaviour of cpt: +

CPT_PATH

Set the locations of your repositories. This is set similar to the PATH +variable. +

XDG_CACHE_HOME

Unless this is set, the ~/.cache directory will be used instead. +

CPT_CACHE

The cache directory for cpt. Default: $XDG_CACHE_HOME/cpt +

CPT_CHOICE

If this is set to 0, a package installation will be aborted on conflicts. +Default: 1 +

CPT_COMPRESS

Program used to compress package tarballs. The values should be the default +suffixes for the program. Available values are: +

gz +
zst +
bz2 +
xz +

Default: gz +

CPT_DEBUG

If this is set to 1, temporary build directories will not be removed after the +given operation. Default: unset +

CPT_FETCH

If this is set to 0, cpt-update will not fetch the repositories. +This behaviour can also be achieved by adding -n or --no-fetch +as an argument. Default: 0 +

CPT_FORCE

If this is set to 1, some of the cpt tools will continue regardless of +errors or skip certain checks. Here are some examples: +

cpt-install will install a package without verifying its manifest. +
cpt-install will install a package even when there are missing +dependencies. +
cpt-remove will remove packages even when there are other packages +that depend on the current package. +

+ +

This behaviour can also be achieved by adding -f or --force +as an argument to those utilities. +

Default: 0 +

CPT_HOOK

Location for the hook file See Hooks. Default: unset +

CPT_KEEPLOG

Normally, logs are deleted if the package is built successfully. If set to 1, +logs will be kept even when the packages are built as intended. Default: 0 +

CPT_PID

If this variable is set, the temporary files will be created with this variable +as the suffix, instead of the PID of the cpt process. The advantage +is that you can know exactly where the build directory is located, while the +disadvantage is that there will be issues with multiple operations at the +same time. So the best way to use this variable is during one-time cpt +calls. +

CPT_PID=mesa cpt b mesa
+

By running the above, you will know that the created build directories will end +with the *-mesa suffix. +

CPT_PROMPT

If set to 0, the package manager will not prompt you for anything and will +continue with the default action. This behaviour can also be achieved by adding -y or --no-prompt +as an argument to some utilities. +Default: 1 +

CPT_ROOT

If this variable is set, cpt will assume this as the system root, and +will install/remove/update/list packages assuming this is the system root. +This behaviour can also be achieved by adding --root as an argument to some utilities. +

CPT_TEST

If set to 1, cpt-build will run tests where a package has the +test build file. This behaviour can also be achieved by adding -t or --test +as an argument to cpt-build. Default: 0 +

CPT_TMPDIR

The directory to create the build files. This can be changed (for example to +/tmp) for building on RAM, saving SSD space, etc. Default: $CPT_CACHE +

+ +

+ + + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
