As you can imagine generating packages takes a lot of time: it
involves extracting and repackaging.: it would be nice to have a
"raw" mode that just installs things and let our ports/packaging
system take over.
I am not sure what you mean.
I meant that would be nice to have a way to specify "make install"
that just installs the files without
going through intermediate installation sets.
That is already done in the background. Before any archive, installer or
packages are created AOO is setup in a temporary directory. The
following diff prevents the temporary directory from being deleted
before "make install: ends:
[...]
AFAIK with using the configure option
--with-package-format="installed" this already works without having to
patch the packager module.
Interesting, I did not know this option existed. And I am looking for
days at the makefile in instsetoo_native that handles the PKGFORMAT
environment variable that is set by the --with-package-format option.
The "installed" value is not handled there. So I searched for uses of
PKGFORMAT in the Perl scripts in solenv/ that the actual work of
creating installation packages. PKGFORMAT is evaluated there, too.
Ugh, our build system is disgusting.
But Pedro probably meant a make target named "install" that would copy
files from this directory into e.g. /opt/AOO-dev and maybe add a link
to its main binary into /usr/bin, right?
I was trying to highlight the fact that 99% of the work of "make
install" are already there. The remaining 1% of creating a "frontend"
in the makefile would be simple work. But, as you pointed out, there is
even less work still to be done.
