It is not usually used to install packages, since it doesn't execute the installation scripts in ./install or ./var/log/setup. The primary use for .B explodepkg is in package maintenance - exploding a package in a subdirectory, making fixes to it or upgrading the software, and then building the updated package with .B makepkg. .SH AUTHOR Patrick J.
