Script to automate the ArchPackage building

there was an error in the script so I removed it, please do not use it
it didn't created a correct filelist, so if you remove a package a lot of garbage stays on your system.

Re: Script to automate the ArchPackage building

I´m wondering that i´m the first who writes a reply.

I tried to use the script, but i don´t know how;)

i saved the script in /usr/bin/autopkg, than i made it executable.
So it should work.

But than.????

I went to the dir, where i have extracted the sources and typed

autopkg --guess fvwm-crystal-3.0.RC1
:: creating a temporary directory
:: running the setup
:: warning: no build command issued
:: generating the filelist
tar: *: Kann stat nicht ausführen.: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
tar: Fehler beim Beenden, verursacht durch vorhergehende Fehler.
:: trying to retrive information about the package
:: generating the package info
:: compressing the package
tar: *: Kann stat nicht ausführen.: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
tar: Fehler beim Beenden, verursacht durch vorhergehende Fehler.
:: removing package directory
:: finished

Can u help me??

Re: Script to automate the ArchPackage building

yeah, the problem is, that the position of the package-description parameters (name,version,description,release) is hardcoded. also the name and the version are two distinct parameters.
try:

autopkg fvwm-crystal 3.0.RC1 --guess

I guess this is my mistake, because I wanted to avoid too much work .

Re: Script to automate the ArchPackage building

I would suggest a name other than "autopkg", that's already used by a completely different *nix software installer.

Re: Script to automate the ArchPackage building

make a suggestion, I'm really uncreative about names.
but I guess it isn't that important, I haven't contributed a package and there is no reference to it, besides this thread, so name the file anything you want.

I edited the initial post, I hope this is sufficent.
