CMSPKG

cmspkg is collection of helper script used by http://github.com/cms-sw/pkgtools for building and distributing http://github.com/cms-sw/cmssw RPMs. It is to replace the apt usage. cmspkg puppet package provider documentation is available here

Converting apt-speak to cmspkg-speak is mostly replacing apt-* commands with cmspkg -a arch. Not all apt-* commands are available in cmspkg. See the table below for details

Purpose	APT	CMSPKG
Retrieve/update new lists of packages	`apt-get update`	`cmspkg -a arch update`
Install new packages	`apt-get -y install package`	`cmspkg -a arch -y install package`
Reinstalling an installed package	`apt-get reinstall package`	`cmspkg -a arch reinstall package`
Reinstalling an installed package	`apt-get --reinstall install package`	`cmspkg -a arch --reinstall install package`
Remove packages	`apt-get remove package`	`cmspkg -a arch remove package`
Cleaup downloaded package files	`apt-get clean`	`cmspkg -a arch clean`
Perform an upgrade	`apt-get upgrade`	`cmspkg -a arch upgrade`
Remove unused not-explicitly installed packages	`-`	`cmspkg -a arch dist-clean`
Search a package	`apt-cache search package`	`cmspkg -a arch search package`
Show some general information for a single package	`apt-cache showpkg package`	`cmspkg -a arch showpkg package`
Show a readable record for the package	`apt-cache show package`	`cmspkg -a arch show package`
Shows listing of dependency of a package	`apt-cache depends package`	`cmspkg -a arch depends package`

cmspkg internally sources the latest available rpm env, so no need to source apt/rpm init.[sh|csh] script before running cmspkg commands.

To run rpm commands, one can use cmspkg -a arch rpm -- <rpm command and options>
