Package: live-build
Version: 4.0.4-1
Certain binary utilities used in live-build could do with a check for
existence of their binaries, being done at the Check_defaults() level.
This applies particularly to cases where the user configuration can
change which binary is used, e.g. for compression, or whether a utility
is used at all; where it is inappropriate and unworkable to use
live-build package dependencies.
Thus, upon providing a configuration, a check for any such binaries can
be done with appropriate errors issued to the user, allowing them to
ensure all necessary utilities for their build are available, prior to
actually beginning their build process.
The list of candidates includes, but is not necessarily limited to:
- compression utilities, where various usage options crop up throughout
the code, e.g.:
- bzip2 | gzip | lzip | xz | none
- zcat | bzcat | lzcat
- bzip2 + zcat | lzma + zcat
- git
