I don't like not beeing able to control the sub applications in a meta recipe, or rather update the main application without having to recompile the complete meta recipe, so I have some ideas on how to solve that and would like some feedback.
1) Install sub apps in their own directory and (sym)link them into the meta directory * Easy removal of sub apps. * Hard to remove the complete application * Could have the drawback of maybe overpopulating /Programs (this approach on Xorg would nearly double my package count). * Maybe hard implementation in fibo sandbox 2) Install sub apps in a sub directory in the meta directory and place (sym)links in the corresponding directories (bin, lib etc) * Easy to remove a sub app. * Easy to remove the complete application. * Maybe hard implementation in fibo sandbox 3) Install sub apps in the meta directory, but create directories/files, in a directory in Resources, which contains file listings of the sub app. * Easy to remove the main application * Hard to remove old sub apps 4) Install sub apps in the meta directory and create a file/directory that contains sub app name and version * Easy to remove main application * Impossible to remove sub apps What I mainly are looking for is a way to update the main application on a sub app basis. All the suggestions above do that, but they have other qualities as well. All suggestions require a new approach to meta recipes where sub applications know of what main application they belong, so they can be compiled and installed separatly. All suggestions above also makes it possible to list sub apps as dependencies, instead of having to install the complete meta recipe. 3) and 4) is basicly the same but in 4) you don't have a file listing and you dont care to remove old files from old sub apps. 1), 2) and 3) makes it possible to create sub packages. -- /Jonas Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
