Do you have any automated scripts for building everything?


Simon, I have a Perl script which creates a Makefile from RPMs and
SRPMs if it is of any help. It is "prerelease" however which means it
fits my needs but have never tried it on other systems than Linux.


There is already something like this, i think.
%prefix/libexec/openpkg-tools/src2make.pl. thl ?

But then, "openpkg build" still seems to have some bugs. We *DO* need
something *perfect*, here !

This should be the next major goal. Immediately before shared lib
support.

Does this script automatically build all dependencies? This is where pkg-get (for Solaris 8 & above) works great. If we could simulate this builds would be much simpler.


I have my own opinions regarding "pkg-get". Not that i think that those
people are doing a bad job. It's just way too much "ad hoc" for my taste.
Especially because the results are hardly reproducible.
I'd probably call it a "pragmatic" attempt. Great for now ! But not the
solution.

But then.
Did you try "openpkg build" ? Did you experience any problems ?

Nope, never tried it. That's my next test on a fresh Solaris 8 system. My head's kind of swimming right now with all of the platforms I'm trying to get OpenPKG to install on - so far only a no-go on AIX 5.2, Irix, Tru64, and HPUX 11.23/IA64.
