I think I have an even better idea: rather than putting *any* package
management commands in, what about something like this:
<para>If you would like to generate binary packages, you will need to
define a function that will be used to generate those packages. Run a
command similar to the following:</para>
<screen role="nodump"><userinput>cat >> ~/.bash_profile << "EOF"
<literal>make_package() {
tar cf $1.tar.bz2 $PKGTEMP
}</literal>
EOF</userinput></screen>
Then, in the XML for each package:
<sect2 role="binpackage">
<title>Binary Package for Foo</title>
<para>If desired, perform the fakeroot install and build the
package</para>
<screen><userinput>if [ "$(type -t make_package)" == "function" ]; then
make DESTDIR=$PKGTEMP install
make_package foo-&foo-version;
fi</userinput></screen>
</sect2>
I think that this would satisfy all the desires stated: not supporting a
specific package manager, supporting package management if people want
it, and still allowing for automation!
