Probably not what you're looking for, but we have developed a tool in Perl to help with the AFS-specific bits of building and deploying traditional untar/configure/build/install packages into replicated AFS volumes across multiple architectures. We use it to maintain a couple of hundred pieces of software from source. Invocation with no parameters shows this: > $ pkg > > Usage: pkg create|delete|help|link|sys|split|unsplit|replicate|unreplicate > [pkgname-ver] > > where: > create create a package > delete delete a package > help print this message > link link to package source > sys setup @sys dirs/links > split split package volume > unsplit reverse of split > replicate replicate a package > unreplicate unreplicate a package The idea here is that each package has a src tree, build trees linked back to the source, and install trees for each architecture we support. It also sets up appropriate PTS groups for maintainers of each package. It undoubtedly has a few hard-coded bits specific to our site (build machines for various architectures, file servers, etc.), but as it's one file they shouldn't be hard to find/fix. If you want more detail, drop me a line or read the source; it's here: /afs/isis.unc.edu/pkg/admin/bin/pkg Cheers, -- +--------------------------------------------------------------+ / todd_le...@unc.edu 919-445-9302 http://www.unc.edu/~utoddl / / Does the name Pavlov ring a bell? / +--------------------------------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
