slackware's package tools are so crappy...
When you create the package with a version other than tar-1.13, then the tools
cannot cope with it.
When the files are included like this:
./dir/file
./dir/file2
the tools cannot extract the description, since it tries to do
"tar -zt install < packagefile"
which fails, since it would have to specify "./install" in this case
When the files are listed like this:
dir/file
dir/file2
the tools can extract the description, but it creates an invalid file-list for
removal. (since it only checks whether there is one single line in the
content-list of the file matching "^./" - if not, then it assumes that all files
are prefixed with that. It doesn't even bother to check whether any file is
prefixed with that at all. (and that with the whitty remark of
# Some dumb bunny built a package with something other than makepkg. Bad!
# Oh well. Bound to happen. Par for the course. Fix it and move on...
echo './' >> $ADM_DIR/packages/$shortname
cat $TMP/$shortname | grep -v '^./$' | cut -b3- >>
$ADM_DIR/packages/$shortname
It even has a grep-statement in the "fix broken package" part, but notice how
dumb this grep statement is? They echo it into the file only to exclue it
afterwards. - Instead of only applying the cut only to lines really starting
with ./
And of course the useless use of cat award goes to the authors as well.
But enough of the rant - I circumvented this by first creating an empty tar
(with only "./" and then appending the other entries)...
