Oh, my. It's a long time ago that i did this, ...
With an existing instance one can do
openpkg rpm -i /path/to/openpkg-<ver>-<rel>.src.rpm
cd %prefix/RPM/SRC/openpkg
<edit>/<patch>
openpkg rpm -bb openpkg.spec
# until here it is like for every other package
# but then you can do:
./openpkg-boot -s
# that gives you an new openpkg-<ver>-<rel>.src.sh
On a "clean" machine, ... Well, let me try this on a Octane :)
I do this during idle time - so do not expect too much. But Ralf is
on vaccation and i do not know whether someone else will pick this
(interesting) thing up.
- first, let's extract and unpack the tar archive:
mkdir /some/tmp
cd /some/tmp
sh /path/to/openpkg-<ver>-<rel>.src.sh -t | tar xvf -
- The build dir is /tmp/openpkg-<ver>. One has to set the environment
variable TMPDIR to change this.
To start the build:
cd /some/tmp
PATH=/usr/freeware/bin:$PATH
./openpkg.boot --prefix=/openpkg --user=openpkg --group=openpkg \
2>&1 | tee log
I would not use the prefix /usr/freeware, btw.
- more log # :(
- One can go to /tmp/openpkg-<ver>/<failed-pkg> and try some fix+make
cycles until it works.
Under /tmp (or $TMPDIR) there are the scripts openpkg.boot.prolog.sh
and openpkg.boot.build.sh. I would hack openpkg.boot.build.sh, so that
it continues where it bailed out.
