[Instructions for using the generic build script]
: Right now, it looks like it's something like:
:
: 1) Get source tarball (ex, foo-0.1.tar.gz)
: 2) Rename GBS as appropriate (ex, foo-0.1-1.sh)
: (hereafter refered to as "gbs" for brevity)
(I think that's a bad idea, as this is getting archived and may well
get quoted out of context... (no offense, I hope.))
: 3) Use gbs to set up work area (./gbs prep)
: 4) Configure (./gbs configure)
: 5) Build (./gbs make)
No ``./foo-0.1-1.sh check''?
: 6) Install (./gbs install)
: 7) Package (./gbs package)
: 8) Repeat (4) - (7) as needed
: 9) Generate a patch (./gbs mkpatch)
: 10) Clean (./gbs mkpatch)
``./foo-0.1-1.sh clean'' (BYKT), and do the ``clean'' first, then the
``mkpatch''.
: 11) Generate a source package (./gbs src-package)
: 12) Generate a binary package (./gbs package)
: 13) If everything looks right, take a deep breath
: and run "./gbs package all"
You already did a ``./foo-0.1-1.sh package''
If you try a ``./foo-0.1-1.sh all'' you will destroy your changes, as
the only places the new patch exists, is in the .sinst-directory and
the newly built source-tarball. ``all'' will cause the original source
to be re-extracted, a new patch (without any changes) to be created
and a new source-tarball (including the new, useless patch) to be built.
: Am I missing something?
Yes. Copy the newly generated patch from the .sinst-directory
to ${topdir} before doing ``./foo-0.1-1.sh all''[1][2][3].
hth,
Buzz.
1) Doing ``./foo-0.1-1.sh all'' should not really be necessary, as you
already did all steps in it (except ``finish'')
2) It was suggested somewhere to use the generated source-tarball in
another location to test it: ``
tar -C /tmp -jxf foo-0.1-1-src.tar.bz2
cd /tmp && ./foo-0.1-1.sh all
''.
3) Maybe the gbs will be doing this for you, shortly, using
``./foo-0.1-1.sh ispatch'', if my patch gets considered thoughtfully. :]
