BUILDPKG - package build tools -> Changelog

2001/11/06 ]--- 0.0.2r22 released (first public release)

  • check if /etc/buildpkg.conf exists, and if yes install new config file as *.new otherways as *.conf
  • check if $SBINDIR/buildpkg.jail exists, and if yes install new 'jail' file as *.new otherways as *.jail
  • separated get_program_version (I needed it also at packaging)
  • implemented DEBIAN packaging ability
  • install buildpkg.rules.gz into same dir as buildpkg script
  • global configuration dir $CONFDIR (default: /etc/buildpkg)
  • separated debian skeleton builder into own function
  • ignore find_deps if debian $PACKAGE_TYPE detected debian will use its own
  • debian skeletons (control, changelog, rules) moved into $CONFDIR/debian/ directory -> defaults can be changed more dynamicaly...
  • man-page updates
  • install.sh updates
  • moved $0.jail also into $CONFDIR as buildpkg.jail
  • check for fakeroot and only execute ./debian/rules if it exists
  • modified install.sh to use new place for buildpkg.jail
  • moved all configuration (even buildpkg.conf) files into $CONFDIR.
  • defines in debian stuff are now named __DEFNAME__, and all default stuff is placed in $CONFDIR/debian/ and can be freely editted.
  • to the famous >>edit<< step before packaging debian stuff
  • minor man-page updates
  • moved debian __DEFINES__ parser into separate function
  • enhanced correct_mislinked_files logic
  • enhanced copy_into_jail logic
  • use $UID, not $USER in install.sh
  • new 'STEP7-pre' step alias 'steps to do before packaging'; debian's ./debian/ directory creation moved here
  • now debian binary-package creation works ok; checked with debian 2.2r2; doc and devel packages are on TODO list
  • some minor man-page changes
  • correct a minor regexp problem
  • this release is mainly because of CVS import (BTW, it contains also some changes)
  • now every debian package (bin, doc, dev) has it's own predef file in ./debian ...
  • move ./debian directory creation into package spec step ...
  • only use fakeroot if $UID not 0
  • do not use separate predef files for debian (it's better to let sed change the few parts)
  • debian related functions reorganized
  • change docdir automaticaly from /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc if debian format
  • copy_into_jail exported as a separate function (useful for shell scripts)
  • redhat (.rpm) support
  • debian (.deb) related functions reorganised
  • find_deps improved
  • man-pages improved
  • just upped the patchlevel to be in sync with CVS versioning ... (sorry)

2001/11/20 ]--- 0.0.2r23 released

  • changed '[' to 'test', because I do not want to depend on a symlink
  • fixed some typos
  • 'FASTMODE' do not halt after patch, config and build steps even if AUTORUN not set. Useful for binary only installations.
  • 'ENABLE_FIND_PROGRESS' this option in combination with the find.patch located in the patches directory gives you a nice rotochar during the FS scan before and after install (AUTO_COLLECT_INSTALLED).
  • Patches can now be '.patch', '.patch.bz2' and '.patch.gz'; buildpkg will detect which version you use and use this one.
  • binary only mode '--bo' has now an own option
  • Changes in order to run on FreeBSD :
    • replace 'expr {length,index,substr}' with own functions
    • do not return or exit with '-1' -> changed to '1'
    • never use 'test bla == bla', use 'test bla = bla' instead
    • replace 'source ./filename' by '. ./filename'
    • replace '$UID' checks by '"`whoami`"'
    • replace logic of get_dirname, FreeBSD's tar does have another date output format.
  • enhanced cmdline option parsing
  • get_dirname changes
  • PROGRAM_VERSION logic changes
  • sync after install

2001/12/07 ]--- 0.0.2r24 released
