There is no specific method -for building a package. The only requirement is that the package be a tar gzipped file -and if there is a postinstallation script, it must be <tt -class="FILENAME">/install/doinst.sh</tt>.</p> - -<p>If you are interested in making packages for your system or for a network that you -manage, you should have a look at the various build scripts in the Slackware source tree. -There are several methods we use for making packages.</p> - -<div class="SECT2"> -<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="PACKAGE-MANAGEMENT-EXPLODEPKG" -name="PACKAGE-MANAGEMENT-EXPLODEPKG">18.3.1 <tt class="COMMAND">explodepkg</tt></a></h2> - -<p><tt class="COMMAND">explodepkg</tt>(8) will do the same thing that <tt -class="COMMAND">installpkg</tt> does to extract the package, but it doesn't actually -install it and it doesn't record it in the packages database. It simply extracts it to -the current directory.</p> - -<p>If you look at the Slackware source tree, you will see how we use this command for -“framework” packages. These packages contain a skeleton of what the final -package will look like. They hold all the necessary filenames (zero-length), permissions, -and ownerships. The build script will cat the package contents from the source directory -to the package build directory.</p> -</div> - -<div class="SECT2"> -<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="PACKAGE-MANAGEMENT-MAKEPKG" -name="PACKAGE-MANAGEMENT-MAKEPKG">18.3.2 <tt class="COMMAND">makepkg</tt></a></h2> - -<p><tt class="COMMAND">makepkg</tt>(8) will package up the current directory into a valid -Slackware package. It will search the tree for any symbolic links and add a creation -block to the postinstallation script for creating them during the package install. It -also warns of any zero-length files in the package tree.</p> - -<p>This command is typically run after you have created your package tree.</p> -</div> - -<div class="SECT2"> -<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="PACKAGE-MANAGEMENT-SLACKBUILD-SCRIPTS" -name="PACKAGE-MANAGEMENT-SLACKBUILD-SCRIPTS">18.3.3 SlackBuild Scripts</a></h2> - -<p>Slackware packages are built in many different ways by necessity. Not all software -packages are written by their programmers to compile the same way. Many have compile time -options that are not all included in the packages Slackware uses. Perhaps you need some -of this functionality; you'll need to compile your own package then. Fortunately for many -Slackware packages, you can find SlackBuild scripts in the package's source code.</p> - -<p>So what is a SlackBuild script? SlackBuild scripts are executable shell scripts that -you run as <tt class="USERNAME">root</tt> to configure, compile, and create Slackware -packages. You can freely modify these scripts in the source directory and run them to -create your own versions of the default Slackware packages.</p> -</div> -</div> - -<div class="NAVFOOTER"> -<hr align="LEFT" width="100%" /> -<table summary="Footer navigation table" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" -cellspacing="0"> -<tr> -<td width="33%" align="left" valign="top"><a -href="package-management-package-utilities.html" accesskey="P">Prev</a></td> -<td width="34%" align="center" valign="top"><a href="index.html" -accesskey="H">Home</a></td> -<td width="33%" align="right" valign="top"><a -href="package-management-making-tags-and-tagfiles.html" accesskey="N">Next</a></td> -</tr> - -<tr> -<td width="33%" align="left" valign="top">Package Utilities</td> -<td width="34%" align="center" valign="top"><a href="package-management.html" -accesskey="U">Up</a></td> -<td width="33%" align="right" valign="top">Making Tags and Tagfiles (for setup)</td> -</tr> -</table> -</div> -</body> -</html> - |
