pkgutils: INSTALL rule support
by Tilman Sauerbeck 01 Oct '06

01 Oct '06

Hi, I've committed a patch to pkgutils that implements the INSTALL rule in pkgadd.conf, as described in http://crux.nu/Main/PkgutilsIdeas#ntoc18. I ignored the second suggestion on that page (per port settings), though. Maybe this should be pondered again when we're taking on the rewrite... The documentation hasn't been updated yet, but if anyone wants to try that feature, please do. Let me know if it causes any problems (it shouldn't :D). Regards, Tilman -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

Reorganization, part 2
by Johannes Winkelmann 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

Hey, After some discussion with those involved in server maintenance, I'd like to suggest Simone to be the initial leader/coordinator for the infrastructure team; he has done a lot of work, both on the web components (wiki/bugtracking/svnweb) and general setup. Just to elaborate on that job: it's not meant to give him great power, but to make sure that there's a central person to coordinate changes and take decisions if someone else on the team is uncertain how to do it. It's more of a "coaching" job really. That said, we need coaches for the 'ports' team as well as for the 'core' team. CRUX maintainers, please submit your nominations :-). Thanks for your cooperation, Johannes P.S. http://crux.nu/Main/TeamReorganization contains some more info -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@smts.ch Zurich, Switzerland http://jw.smts.ch

ANN: portverify
by Juergen Daubert 04 Sep '06

04 Sep '06

Hi all, based on Johannes' ideas and performance specification [1] I've written a simple utility, called portverify, to check CRUX ports for typical errors. It's a shell script which calls gawk with a bunch of small scripts, each of them containing one or more tests. Following test are implemented yet: - port - missing files Pkgfile/.footprint/.md5sum - Pkgfile - existence of name/version/release/source variables - match of portname to name variable - wrong release number - cd/rm command outside the work directory - .footprint - world writable files/directories - junk files like perllocal.pod - invalid directories like /usr/info - invalid users - files not owned by root - SUID/SGID files To use the utility call it with one ore more ports like: portverify /usr/ports/{core,opt}/* All test are categorized into 4 levels, from FATAL to INFO, which can be used to adjust the output of portverify, see the help message for more information. For now portverify is available from a darcs repository [2] or as an CRUX package [3]. To do: - missing stuff from [1] - more test ? - improve shell script - man-page - other ideas ? Contributions and any kind of feedback are highly appreciated. kind regards Jürgen [1] http://crux.nu/Main/WantedTools [2] darcs get http://jue.ods.org/repos/portverify [3] http://jue.ods.org/files/portverify%230.1.2.pkg.tar.gz -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux

CRUX Mantra
by Johannes Winkelmann 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Hey there, I wrote a short "mantra" text for crux and run it past Simone and Matt to comment; I now felt it's okay to put it onto the wiki, for everyone to comment and see :-): http://crux.nu/Main/Mantra I believe that having a clear idea of how we want to build crux is important, and I think such a page can help there. If you have ideas or change requests, please bring them up. Thanks, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@smts.ch Zurich, Switzerland http://jw.smts.ch

use flags
by heidi 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

hello on first sorry for my English :) I write something like gentoo's use flags but more simplest. for example i need (or i like :) ) fluxbox witch imlib2 but i don't need xinerama if i wont add or delete some functionality i must rewrite Pkgfile . 3 steps to change it : 1. add to /etc/pkgmk.conf USE="nls imlib" 2. add function to pkgmk if_use() { local TMP_USE=$1 local RET_YES=$2 local RET_NO=$3 for U in $USE do if [ "$U" = "$TMP_USE" ]; then echo $RET_YES return fi done echo $RET_NO } 3. Pkgfile # Description: light windowmanager based on the original blackbox # URL: http://fluxbox.org # Maintainer: # Packager: # Depends on: x11 imlib2 deps="x11 $(if_use imlib2 imlib2) $(if_use xinerama xinerama)" name=fluxbox version=1.0rc2 release=1 source=(http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/fluxbox/fluxbox-$vers… build() { cd $SRC/$name-$version ./configure \ --prefix=/usr \ $(if_use nls --enable-nls --disable-nls) \ $(if_use imlib2 --enable-imlib2) \ $(if_use xinerama --enable-xinerama --disable-xinerama) make make install DESTDIR=$PKG } and that's all folks :) if_use <use_flags> <arg_1> <arg_2> if use_flags exist in config then return arg_1 if not then arg_2 simple but powerful :) and in variable deps we have all needed deps What you thinking about it ?
