DESCRIPTION

       gpt-config is a runtime configuration script that is used to localize a
       GPT installation.  GPT uses various programs and packaging parameters
       to do its job.  These items can be listed and modified by this script.

       Configuration information for GPT is stored in the module
       $GPT_LOCATION/lib/perl/Grid/GPT/LocalEnv.pm.  This module is
       regenerated when gpt-config is used to change the configuration.

OPTIONS

       -builddir
           Specifies the where the source tar files should be untarred and the
           code is built.

       -location
       -perl
       -gtar
       -gunzip
       -gmake
       -rpm
       -rpmbuild
           Location of various programs that GPT uses.  These switches will
           override any searching done by the -probe switch..

       -license
       -vendor
       -ftpsite
       -url
       -packager
       -prefix
           Values that are used by GPT when generating RPM packages.  These
           values are not configured when the platform does not support RPM.

       -list
           List the current configuration.

       -probe
           Probe for the various programs that GPT needs.  The probe examines
           each directory listed in the $PATH variable for these programs.

       -use-archive-tar
           Skip the probes for a system tar and unzip programs.  Use
           Archive::Tar module to untar source packages.  Using this modules
           slows down the build noticably.

       -ignore
           Ignore any missing programs and continue with the configuring.
