---[ buildpkg TODO list ]------------------------------------------------------ SHORT TERM ========== - remove man and info pages (even if compressed) e.g. scan .removeit file for /man/ of /info/ entries and append a '*' for the .[1-0,n] files... LONG TERM ========= - port find_deps' package scanner to other linux distros, unixes (slackware: done) (debian: done, commented out in STEP6, be cause of debhelpers auto scanner) (redhat: done, commented out in STEP6, because of redhat's auto scanner) (solaris: done) (freebsd: done) - what about real unix-es ? Maybe port to (Free|Net|Open)BSD, SCO UnixWare ... (freebsd: done) - handle configuration files with extra care; do not overwrite existing configs. PROTOPKG has a nice style to do this; maybe implement something similar ... DEBIAN has conffiles in ./debian/ directory. Should use it if PACKAGE_MODE="debian" - support for Stampede packages ( www.stampede.org ) The main problem with this is, that they have a very stupid package manager. Their package format is mainly (tar+gzip/bzip2/whatever) and a small binary part attached to it's end. So for now, no support for this. Maybe in the future... - full support for [pre/post]install and [pre/post]remove (currently only postinstall is supported) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
