yes and no. The build tool uses perl, but it is not necessary to build perl manually for using the tool. It will try to use any perl it finds. With a native perl from the OS (on all Linux machines, even on Solaris nowadays) I run the bootstrap, then as the 'opkg' user I run something like: openpkg rpm -i ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.1/SRC/openpkg-tool\* openpkg rpmbuild RPM/SRC/openpkg-tools/openpkg-tools.spec openpkg rpm -U RPM/PKG/openpkg-tools* openpkg build -Ua | sh to install openpkg-tools and pull in any updates. The nice thing about this procedure is that I don't have to care about what version is available and can put those commands in a small script. The basic rpm commands like -i can use wildcards. The --rebuild command (which combines -i of the source rpm and the rpmbuild run) can't. Finally I make a ~opkg/.openpkg/build containing something like: -P /usr/pkg/bin/sudo with a reasonable configured sudo on the system :-) or else: -P -su root -c so that I can run builds as the opkg user. > If you have custom packages and need to rebuild your index then you can > cron this as well: > > 0 4 * * * /opkg/bin/openpkg index -c -r OpenPKG-2.0/Source/ -o > /mirror/release/2.0/SRC/00INDEX.rdf.bz2 -i /mirror/release/2.0/SRC/ With many source packages (such as a full release repository) you really do want to use caching using -C (and you need to have the perl DB_File module installed). > After you have your mirror setup, the build command above changes to: > > /opkg/bin/openpkg build -f ftp://<your server > name>/release/2.0/00INDEX.rdf ntp | /bin/sh - If you regularly build from a mirror you may want to put the -f option (and/or -r option) into $HOME/.openpkg/build Greetings, -- Michael van Elst Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "A potential Snark may lurk in every tree." ______________________________________________________________________ The OpenPKG Project www.openpkg.org User Communication List [EMAIL PROTECTED]
