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
