[System: Utilities] Bootsplash

I couldnt find a pkgbuild for the latest bootsplash.
i found a previous pkgbuild on the arch bootsplash howto http://archlinux.veloxis.de/howtos/boot … index.html but it was quite outdated, here is one for 3.1.

my first pkgbuild so be nice..

seems to work.. although some of the executables may be in the wrong location as it wanted splashpbm in /sbin.
it didnt complain about the rest, but that doesnt mean they may not be wrong.

pkgname=bootsplash
pkgver=3.1

depends=()
conflicts=()
backup=()
install=
source=(http://www.bootsplash.de/files/splashutils/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver/Utilities
  make || return 1
  # the very simple Makefile does not include an install option, so just copy
  # the compiled binaries to their locations manually.
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/sbin
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/sbin
  cp $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver/Utilities/{fbresolution,fbmngplay,fbtruetype,splash} $startdir/pkg/usr/sb
in
  cp $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver/Utilities/splashpbm $startdir/pkg/sbin
}

thanks..

hopefully gensplash will make this alot easier, but i havent tried it yet..

this still requires the kernel patch, correct?

Father · 2004-12-02 05:54:18

yep!
this is just the user-space utilities to actually do something with the bootsplash patch in the kernel..
without a patched kernel its quite useless

btw, the kernel patches are available in the homepage listed in the pkgbuild
www.bootsplash.de

gensplash is only for 2.6 kernels - just for interests sake - if any 2.4 users happen to see this...

i was playing today and came up with two new (better?) methods of building patched initscripts (i was mainly doing it for bootsplash but it should work for all patching). assuming patches are compatible you should be able to apply several and have a pkg that you can use in a local repo and easily update when new versions of initscripts are released.

i think the one that downloads the latest pkg first is more secure than the abs version - as there is no checksumming for abs?

anyway - the first gets the pkg from current, explodes it, patches it and rebuilds it - the second grabs the files that make the package from ABS (allows compile of minilogd)
