GIMME(1)

NAME
gimme - script to build binary packages in a chroot

SYNOPSIS
gimme [-cv] [-d distribdir] package ...

DESCRIPTION
The gimme uses pkg_comp to manage a chroot environment in which binary packages can be built easily. Pre-existing binary sets can be used, or a clone of the operating system in the current environment can be used.

To use a clone of the current operating system in the chroot, the -c argument is used. Alternatively, one can use pre-existing sets, which will be taken from the directory specified by the -d argument.

Packages can be specified by the one-word base name of the package, like “mercurial” or by specifying the category and directory name, like “devel/mercurial”.

EXIT STATUS
The gimme utility will return 0 for a successful verification, 1 if the file's signature does not match what was expected, or 2 if any other error occurs.

The gimme command first appeared in NetBSD 8.0.
