1.0 Building ProFTPD from Slackware's source directory
--------------------------------------------------
In this example, I have my slackware-current source tree
stored in the directory ' /data2 '
I want to compile ProFTPD using Slackware's SlackBuild script, but I want
to move the package from /tmp (where SlackBuild stores it)
into my Slackware binary directory
/data2/slackware-current/slackware/n/
and I also want to create a .txt description file in the same binary directory.
1. Enter the slackware-current source directory
--------------------------------------------
meths [proftpd] # pwd
/data2/slackware-current/source/n/proftpd
meths [proftpd] # ls
_proftpd.tar.gz etc proftpd-1.2.7.tar.bz2 proftpd-1.2.7.tar.bz2.asc proftpd.SlackBuild slack-desc
2. Compile ProFTPd using the supplied SlackBuild script.
-----------------------------------------------------
meths [proftpd] # ./proftpd.SlackBuild
[ .. snip lots of text as the package is compiled and built .. ]
Our proftpd package is built in /tmp as this is where SlackBuild stores it.
meths [proftpd] # ls -l /tmp/proftpd-1.2.7-i386-1.tgz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 503169 Mar 3 00:43 /tmp/proftpd-1.2.7-i386-1.tgz
meths [proftpd] #
3. Create the .txt file and move the package into the binary distribution directory
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
meths [proftpd] # slackdtxt -d /data2/slackware-current/slackware/n/ /tmp/proftpd-1.2.7-i386-1.tgz
slackdtxt: Copying package to destination directory ....done
slackdtxt: Verifying the version of the package in the destination directory ....done
slackdtxt: Attempting to extract install/slack-desc from the package ....done
slackdtxt: proftpd-1.2.7-i386-1.txt created
slackdtxt: Deleting the original package ....done
meths [proftpd] #
In this instance I have extracted the slack-desc file from the /tmp/proftpd-1.2.7-i386-1.tgz
package. Because I was in the source directory, I could have used the local slack-desc
file and saved the overhead of having to untar. In order to do this I could have done:
# slackdtxt -d /data2/slackware-current/slackware/n/ -s slack-desc /tmp/proftpd-1.2.7-i386-1.tgz
Example 2: Creating .txt files from a bunch of packages
--------------------------------------------
In this example, I have built a number of packages already. They are
stored in my binary distribution directory (/data2/slackware-current/slackware)
but the packages do not have corresponding .txt files.
I will use slackdtxt to create .txt files in the same directory as the package files.
1. Enter the slackware-current binary distribution directory
==========================================================
meths [n] # pwd
/data2/slackware-current/slackware/n
These are the packages I have built previously.
meths [n] # ls
htdig-3.1.6-i386-2.tgz mod_ssl-2.8.12_1.3.27-i386-1.tgz mutt-1.4i-i386-1.tgz wget-1.8.2-i386-2.tgz
meths [n] #
2. Create .txt files for all corresponding package files
=====================================================
meths [n] # slackdtxt *.tgz
slackdtxt: Attempting to extract install/slack-desc from the package ....done
slackdtxt: htdig-3.1.6-i386-2.txt created
slackdtxt: Attempting to extract install/slack-desc from the package ....done
slackdtxt: mod_ssl-2.8.12_1.3.27-i386-1.txt created
slackdtxt: Attempting to extract install/slack-desc from the package ....done
slackdtxt: mutt-1.4i-i386-1.txt created
slackdtxt: Attempting to extract install/slack-desc from the package ....done
slackdtxt: wget-1.8.2-i386-2.txt created
meths [n] # ls
htdig-3.1.6-i386-2.tgz mod_ssl-2.8.12_1.3.27-i386-1.tgz mutt-1.4i-i386-1.tgz wget-1.8.2-i386-2.tgz
htdig-3.1.6-i386-2.txt mod_ssl-2.8.12_1.3.27-i386-1.txt mutt-1.4i-i386-1.txt wget-1.8.2-i386-2.txt
meths [n] #
All .txt files are now created.
