17:53:45 gecko2> hm, got a feature request. currently fink only
expands known files (tar.gz und such) and will copy unknown files. my
request is, that i would like to have a field in the info file where i
can place a command to unpack the unknown file
17:54:42 dmacks> Sounds like just "PatchScript: whacko-unzip
whateversource.warchive"?
17:55:06 = Ilgaz [EMAIL PROTECTED] quit (Read error: 110
(Connection timed out))
17:55:10 gecko2> failes here
17:55:55 gecko2> cause the fink tries to cd SourceDirectory and will
then use PatchScript
17:56:18 gecko2> s/the//
17:56:21 dmacks> Don't set SourceDirectroy.
17:56:38 gecko2> brb
18:03:07 = takaokouji [EMAIL PROTECTED] quit ()
18:03:22 gecko2> also failes
18:03:23 gecko2> Failed: directory /sw/.build/mksh-32.1-2/
mksh-32.1-2.cpio.gz doesn't exist, check the package description
18:03:23 gecko2> -rw-r--r-- 1 fink-bld fink-bld 248989 Mar 1
18:03 /sw/.build/mksh-32.1-2/mksh-32.1-2.cpio.gz
18:03:40 gecko2> PatchScript: pax -zf %f.cpio.gz -r
18:04:06 dmacks> NoSetSourceDirectory:true ?
18:04:44 gecko2> well, thats the way i used before
18:05:05 dmacks> It's kinda hoop-jumpy I guess:/
18:05:17 gecko2> but somethink like UnpackScript would be nicer
18:06:08 dmacks> yeah, I can see that.
18:06:44 gecko2> btw, mksh-32.1-2.cpio.gz will expand to mksh/
18:07:22 dmacks> Would occur after all the existing unpacking stuff,
but would have pwd=builddir/%f not the normal SorceDirectory.
18:07:58 dmacks> (so this particular case would still need
SourceDirectory:mksh because the archive itself is weird)
18:08:26 gecko2> yea
18:11:20 dmacks> Makes good sense to me. Probably very rare usage,
but certainly cleans up the .info
18:12:25 dmacks> Actually I guess it should *replace* the normal
script, in case the archive looks like a recognizeable type but needs
some weirdness to unpack it.
18:13:00 dmacks> (like PatchScript replaces the normal `patch`
command, but provides a hook to run the default script if one still
also wants it)
18:16:15 gecko2> yea
