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

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 ?
Hi,
Alan has a personal repository at:
http://www.mizrahi.com.ve/crux/pkgs
Here is an excerpt from the "looking for a new KDE maintainer" thread on

In Alan's personal repository I'm intrigued to see a port for em8300. They're
tricky cards to get working properly, iirc. He has a few other ports that
look interesting, but none which I've had the opportunity to try; they look
like good ports. Because Alan already has a httpup repository, my kde.httpup
+ kde-extra.httpup idea is kind of superfluous.
If everyone is in accordance with Alan's nomination, then is it possible for
him to soon get SVN access so that he can help out with adopting my ports
from attic--when I sed the Maintainer and Packager lines and move the ports
there later this month? Oh yeah! Is anyone interested in maintaining a
category of ports which I privately call "multimedia". Stuff like libxvid,
libdvdread, etc. Matt, you have libtheora, so perhaps you'd like the rest of
the bunch too?
Cheers,
Nick
