Stow(ES)

GNU stow helps to organise the files under /usr/local, by installing every software under his own directory tree under /usr/local/stow. And then, symbol links create the illusion, every software is installed in the same place.

Here are some of the most important commands

  • help
/usr/local/stow/stowES help --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow
  • checkstow (cs)
/usr/local/stow/stowES cs --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow
Checking packages in /usr/local/stow (78 matches):
I (  772.5) DFB++-0.9.20
I (  1,385) DirectFB-0.9.20
I (19223.5) ImageMagick-6.0.2
I ( 10,085) MPlayer-1.0pre4
....
  • checkin (ci)
/usr/local/stow/stowES ci MPlayer-1.0pre4 --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow
Calling "stow" to check in package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done.
Calling ldconfig
  • ceckout (co)
/usr/local/stow/stowES co MPlayer-1.0pre4 --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow
Calling "stow -D" to check out package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done.
Calling ldconfig.
  • remove (rm)
/usr/local/stow/stowES rm MPlayer-1.0pre4 --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow
Calling "stow -D" to check out package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done.
Calling "rm -rf" to remove package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done.
Calling ldconfig.
  • exchange
/usr/local/stow/stowES exchange MPlayer-1.0pre4 MPlayer-1.0pre5 --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow
Calling "stow -D" to check out package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done.
