[clc-devel] Custom port: naim
by Logan Ingalls 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

I was told that this would be the best way to submit a port for consideration. Naim is a curses-based AIM/IRC/Lily client that's great for those of us with old computers that can't run X. I've got the three files currently hosted on my website. http://plutor.org/projects/crux/?naim I'd love comments, considering this is my first port. Logan

[clc-devel] Port version diff
by Johannes Winkelmann 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

Hi, Inspired by Victor I wrote a little script that searches for ports which used to be in CONTRIB-$OLDVERSION but are missing now (means not in the new contrib, base, opt or unmaintained). It's written in Ruby, so you need to install the ruby interpreter to enjoy it. http://www.hta-bi.bfh.ch/~winkj/files/crux/clc-version-diff.rb Might be helpful for future version updates. Kind regards, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@tks6.net Biel, Switzerland http://jw.tks6.net

[clc-devel] pre- and post-install scripts
by Johannes Winkelmann 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

Hey there, For some time, I thought it would be better not to support pre- and post-install scripts in prt-get but I decided I'll leave this choice to the user ;-). The more, there was some discussion about better ways to support pre-/post-installation, but nothing actually worked out. As we currently have some ports with post-install scripts, I decided to offer a simple solution which might be removed once there's a better way to do it (e.g. in pkgutils). The current implementation is meant to simplify installation of large suites of packages like gnome or kde. Credits for an initial version of this go to Daniel Müller, unfortunately I didn't find his patch anymore therefore his name didn't make it into prt-get's source code ;-). I've uploaded prt-get 0.5.2pre2 (just update the Pkgfile) which has the following new switches: --pre-install (execute pre-install scripts) --post-install (execute post-install scripts) --install-scripts (execute both pre- and post-install) Testing from interested packagers is very much appreciated! 0.5.2pre2 also includes a 'remove' command to call pkgrm on an arbitrary number of ports: prt-get remove perl ruby python For users of the programmable bash completion, I've updated misc/prt-get_complete as well (in the tarball). Notes: - the scripts must be in the port's directory and have the exact name 'pre-install' and 'post-install' - They're executed for every install and update; therefore, the packager must ensure that things work even if the very same script was already called during an earlier install; - failing pre/post scripts don't interrupt the installation process - the listing in the very end will tell you which ports had pre/post scripts and whether it succeeded or not - In test mode, you won't see whether scripts would be executed Example session: [15:43][root@hoc:~]# prt-get install prepost --install-scripts ... -- Packages installed prepost [pre: ok] [post: ok] prt-get: installed successfully [15:44][root@hoc:~]# Things left to do: - show whether there are pre-/post-install scripts in prt-get info - config file option ("always execute scripts"; not sure yet) - some uninstall equivalent; would benefit from a better specification of crux' pre/post-(un)install functionality though Kind regards, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@tks6.net Biel, Switzerland http://jw.tks6.net

[clc-devel] Slow GNOME Updates (again)
by Robert McMeekin 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

Hello clc-devel, Sorry there are a few updates I've not been making in the past week or so. The GNOME 2.3 branch is quickly becoming the GNOME 2.4 branch and should be ready for general use around the 10th of September. I've got everything ready (pretty much). I just have to go through and CLC-ify everything. Also I've been trying to make sure everything from the GNOME Desktop release is available from the CLC, but to continue that trend someone will have to right backends for gnome-system-tools (although the boot/partition manager seems to work well right out of the box). I may do that but I probably won't have any time since school starts on Wednesday. Also, for the record, I don't mind if anyone wants to change something in a package of mine. If you were accepted as a CLC Maintainer, odds are you know better than me anyway (and it's less work for me). :-) //rrm3 -- You will think of something funnier than this to add to the fortunes.
