This is the bsdmainutils package from Debian. It's a collection of
|
|
|
|
|
common BSD utilities, compiled from different sources, by the Debian
|
|
|
|
|
folks. It includes tools such as the classic 'calendar'.

This SlackBuild uses the Debian sources to create a suitable
|
|
|
|
|
package for Slackware. Hdate (and its python bindings) is a
|
|
|
|
|
build-time dependency, that is built in this same package, but not
|
|
|
|
|
installed. Because it's a package for Slackware, and not Debian, it
|
|
|
|
|
bears the following differences from the original Debian package:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Utilities that conflict with Slackware's util-linux have been
|
|
|
|
|
removed.
|
|
|
|
|
- /etc/cron.daily/bsdmainutils and /etc/default/bsdmainutils have
|
|
|
|
|
been installed in /usr/doc as cron.daily, and bsdmainutils.default,
|
|
|
|
|
respectively. Please verify that these scripts work on your machine
|
|
|
|
|
before using them in production. They were tailored for Debian, not
|
|
|
|
|
Slackware!
|
|
|
|
|
- The postinst and prerm scripts aren't installed, because they're
|
|
|
|
|
unnecessary in the context of Slackware.
|
|
|
|
|
- Slight structure alterations to fit with the Slackware filesystem.
|
|
|
|
|
See the SlackBuild for more details.
