There has been a discussion about this some time ago ...
(in my case the amd64 binary) and a postinst file created by Thorsten
that seems to implement some installation magic. I did not dived into
this but it fails for me:
Hmm, once upon a time it worked ...
The -initial-package does contain some binary stuff. This is only used
to compile the real sources from the -server-packages. So it is needed
on the buildd in some kind of package. But as one of my goals for the
future is to replace the -initial-package by some "real" mumps
compiler, I created two packages and hope to let one disappear in the
future (this would enable us to build fis-gtm on any architecture).
Unfortunately I found no mumps compiler yet that was currently able to
do the job.
[KSB] There are several MUMPS compilers, both free / open source and
otherwise, but in terms of supporting a full MUMPS, there are only two,
of which GT.M is the only one that is Free.
Further those packages are quite huge and if somebody just wants to
have a look at the sources, he does not need to download all that
binary stuff.
[KSB] There should be no binary stuff in the source tarball.
As far as I understood the A-version of the initial package could also
be used to build the B and any other following version. So there is no
update needed for that package. Did I remember this right Bhaskar?
[KSB] Yes, your memory is right, Thorsten. Once you have an initial GT.M
package, you can use that to build subsequent GT.M packages. Or, for
that first build, you can use a GT.M on another system for the small part
of the build that uses GT.M, or convert the files by hand, etc. It's
just like gcc.
