After reviewing some recipes for binary apps, I realized that some steps are going to be required in order to accept them:
1) everything specific to a given architecture shall be inside its arch subdir. This includes url=, file=, file_md5=, file_size= and any functions dealing with specific tarball contents that might change from one architecture's tarball to another 2) submitters should append an extra '_bin' string to the application's version. 3) distribution license must be filled in Resouces/Description. If the license is unknown, Resources/Description should set it as "[License] Other", and a file named Resources/COPYING should contain the license in question. "Known licenses" are those found in these 2 urls: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/ As an example, this is how Java-JRE recipe looks like: Sun-JDK/1.6.0_01_bin] find . ./i686 ./i686/Recipe ./Recipe ./Resources ./Resources/BuildInformation ./Resources/COPYING ./Resources/Dependencies ./Resources/Description ./Resources/Environment #################### Recipe #################### # Recipe for JDK version 1.6.0 by Mike Hughes compile_version=1.8.2 uncompress=no recipe_type=manifest pre_install() { cd jdk1.6.0_01 cp -R ./* "$target" } #################### i686/Recipe #################### url="http://www.cs.wcupa.edu/~rkline/anonftp/general/jdk-6u1-linux-i586.bin"; file_md5=bbfb5171c9120a8be2f37ebeba023e29 file_size=62772481 pre_patch() { chmod +x jdk-6u1-linux-i586.bin ./jdk-6u1-linux-i586.bin } post_install() { # for the Firefox plugin mkdir -p $target/lib/mozilla/plugins ln -s "$target/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so" "$target/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so" } #################### Resources/Description #################### [Name] Sun JDK 6 [Summary] The Java SE Development Kit (JDK) includes the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and command-line development tools that are useful for developing applets and applications.
