SIS installer file, which is used to install applications on devices running the Symbian operating system OS. It contains installation information in plain text that defines how to build the SIS installer file. PKG files typically include information about the languages supported by the application, vendor name, software dependencies, application files to copy, and details for digitally signing the file to verify its contents.
When the application is ready to be built, developers typically use the "makesis" command, which is part of the CreateSIS utility. This is due to various file types using the.
While SIS files are used to install applications, you can unpack the files if you want to view their contents. Nokia eventually stopped accepting software from developers in It is saved in an encrypted format that is only recognized by compatible Sony devices and is used primarily to transfer downloadable games, game updates, and demos. A PKG file is a package of compressed installer files used to install a software program.
To upgrade only a specified application instead of all available ports, use portupgrade pkgname. It is very important to include -R to first upgrade all the ports required by the given application:. If none are available locally, it then fetches packages from a remote site.
If packages can not be found locally or fetched remotely, Portupgrade will use ports. To avoid using ports entirely, specify -PP. This last set of options tells Portupgrade to abort if no packages are available:. To just fetch the port distfiles, or packages, if -P is specified, without building or installing anything, use -F.
For further information on all of the available switches, refer to the manual page for portupgrade. Using the Ports Collection will use up disk space over time. After building and installing a port, running make clean within the ports skeleton will clean up the temporary work directory.
If Portmaster is used to install a port, it will automatically remove this directory unless -K is specified. If Portupgrade is installed, this command will remove all work directories found within the local copy of the Ports Collection:. To use Portupgrade to delete all the distfiles that are no longer referenced by any ports:. Portupgrade can remove all distfiles not referenced by any port currently installed on the system:.
By default, this command is interactive and prompts the user to confirm if a distfile should be deleted. It uses FreeBSD jails to set up isolated compilation environments. These jails can be used to build packages for versions of FreeBSD that are different from the system on which it is installed, and also to build packages for i if the host is an amd64 system. Once the packages are built, they are in a layout identical to the official mirrors.
These packages are usable by pkg 8 and other package management tools. Edit the copied file to suit the local configuration. While ZFS is not required on the system running poudriere, it is beneficial. Defaults for the other configuration values are adequate. The number of processor cores detected is used to define how many builds will run in parallel. Supply enough virtual memory, either with RAM or swap space.
If virtual memory runs out, the compilation jails will stop and be torn down, resulting in weird error messages. After configuration, initialize poudriere so that it installs a jail with the required FreeBSD tree and a ports tree. Specify a name for the jail using -j and the FreeBSD version with -v.
The default is the architecture shown by uname. On a single computer, poudriere can build ports with multiple configurations, in multiple jails, and from different port trees. Custom configurations for these combinations are called sets. The basic configuration shown here puts a single jail-, port-, and set-specific make.
The filename in this example is created by combining the jail name, port name, and set name: 11amdlocal-workstation-make. The system make. Packages to be built are entered in 11amdlocal-workstation-pkglist :.
After completion, the new packages are now available for installation from the poudriere repository. While it is possible to use both a custom repository along side of the official repository, sometimes it is useful to disable the official repository. This is done by creating a configuration file that overrides and disables the official configuration file.
Usually it is easiest to serve a poudriere repository to the client machines via HTTP. Regardless of whether the software was installed from a binary package or port, most third-party applications require some level of configuration after installation.
The following commands and locations can be used to help determine what was installed with the application. In cases where an application has a large number of configuration files, a subdirectory will be created to hold them. Often, sample configuration files are installed which end with a suffix such as. To edit a sample file, first copy it without the. This documentation should be consulted before continuing. See Starting Services for more information.
By design, applications do not run their startup script upon installation, nor do they run their stop script upon deinstallation or upgrade. This decision is left to the individual system administrator. Users of csh 1 should run rehash to rebuild the known binary list in the shells PATH. Use pkg info to determine which files, man pages, and binaries were installed with the application. Search to see if there is a fix pending for the port in the Problem Report database.
If so, implementing the proposed fix may fix the issue. Ask the maintainer of the port for help. Remember to include the output leading up to the error in the email to the maintainer. Some ports are not maintained by an individual but instead by a group maintainer represented by a mailing list.
Many, but not all, of these addresses look like freebsd-listname FreeBSD. Please take this into account when sending an email. In particular, ports maintained by ports FreeBSD. Instead, any fixes and support come from the general community who subscribe to that mailing list. More volunteers are always needed! Fix it! Install the package instead of the port using the instructions in Using pkg for Binary Package Management. Chapter 4. Getting Started.
Table of Contents. Synopsis FreeBSD is bundled with a rich collection of system tools as part of the base system. The difference between binary packages and ports.

How to find the files installed with the application for post-installation configuration. What to do if a software installation fails. Find and download the software, which might be distributed in source code format or as a binary. Test and install the software. Packages can be manipulated with the FreeBSD package management commands. To search the binary package repository for an application: pkg search subversion git-subversion Using pkg for Binary Package Management pkg is the next generation replacement for the traditional FreeBSD package management tools, offering many features that make dealing with binary packages faster and easier.
Getting Started with pkg FreeBSD includes a bootstrap utility which can be used to download and install pkg and its manual pages. You must have a working Internet connection for the bootstrap process to succeed.

File Type Danger Level Microsoft Edge inherits its file type policies from the upstream Chromium browser; you can view the current contents of the list here , and documentation of its format here.
To process paths such as URLs that always use forward slashes regardless of the operating system, see the path package. SkipDir is used as a return value from WalkFuncs to indicate that the directory named in the call is to be skipped. It is not returned as an error by any function.
Abs returns an absolute representation of path. If the path is not absolute it will be joined with the current working directory to turn it into an absolute path. The absolute path name for a given file is not guaranteed to be unique.
Abs calls Clean on the result. Base returns the last element of path. Trailing path separators are removed before extracting the last element. If the path is empty, Base returns ". If the path consists entirely of separators, Base returns a single separator.
Clean returns the shortest path name equivalent to path by purely lexical processing. It applies the following rules iteratively until no further processing can be done:. Dir returns all but the last element of path, typically the path's directory. After dropping the final element, Dir calls Clean on the path and trailing slashes are removed. If the path is empty, Dir returns ". If the path consists entirely of separators, Dir returns a single separator. The returned path does not end in a separator unless it is the root directory.
EvalSymlinks returns the path name after the evaluation of any symbolic links. If path is relative the result will be relative to the current directory, unless one of the components is an absolute symbolic link.
EvalSymlinks calls Clean on the result. Ext returns the file name extension used by path. The extension is the suffix beginning at the final dot in the final element of path; it is empty if there is no dot. Multiple slashes are replaced by multiple separators.
