Hi all,
I began writing the new opkg API on the devel wiki:
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar/wiki/BuildOpkg
- config.xml schema has been commited in subversion few days ago and I had no
comments about it, so I presume it's ok.
- For scripts, I have some questions.
We have now, from a opkg, 3 native (RPM or .deb) packages: api, server and
client.
With RPM and Debian, we can do pre-install, post-install, pre-uninstall and
post-uninstall.
Currently, with opkg, we have these scripts: stup, pre-configure,
post-configure, post-server-rpm-install, post-client-rpm-install,
post-clients, post-install, post-server-rpm-uninstall,
post-client-rpm-uninstall.
I suggest the following linking between current and new packaging:
Current packaging | New packaging |
Current script | Package | Script |
==============================================================================
setup | api | pre-install |
pre_configure | api | /var/lib/oscar/packages/ \ |
<package>/pre_configure |
post_configure | api | /var/lib/oscar/packages/ \ |
<package>/post_configure |
post_server_rpm_install | server | post-install |
post_client_rpm_install | client | post-install |
post_clients | api | /var/lib/oscar/packages/ \ |
<package>/post_clients |
post_install | api | /var/lib/oscar/packages/ \ |
<package>/post_install |
post_server_rpm_uninstall | server | post-uninstall |
post_client_rpm_uninstall | client | post-uninstall |
==============================================================================
When I say /var/lib/oscar, it's on the server.
Current packages include a lot of specific scripts in the scripts dir/. I
suggest to put them into /var/lib/oscar/packages/<package>/
As many things are changing about packaging, I plan to write a script to
translate old package description to new one, as asked by Steven Blackburn.
In the same time, it can be useful to rename the above files, for better
understanding:
setup -> api-pre-install
pre_configure -> api-pre-configure
post_configure -> api-post-configure
post_clients -> api-post-image
post_install -> api-post-deploy
post_server_rpm_install -> server-post-install
post_server_rpm_uninstall -> server-post-uninstall
post_client_rpm_uninstall -> client-post-install
post_client_rpm_uninstall -> client-post-uninstall
To implement Erich's idea about kernel dependant packages, the following file
is added:
post-kernel
This script will be put in /var/lib/oscar/kernel-update/<package>-post-kernel
and will be fired by an 'update-kernel-packages' command which is to be
written...
If everybody agree, I will put all this this stuff in a more developped way on
the devel wiki.
Best regards,
Jean
