Hi, for my project where I'm using plplot I wrote a script which downloads the plplot package (and others) and compiles everything, since I develop on several computers. Anyway, I always download the plplot-5.9.0 package and this has the disadvantage, that some changes are not included. On the other side I also don't want to have the latest svn code for several reasons. Therefore I wrote another script, which exports the latest svn code, package it to a tar.gz and send it to
http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_weeklies/ on a weekly basis (using a cron job). So than I can always use a package which I know works and has all the features included I want. Maybe others are interested as well, also if someone doesn't want to install a svn client. Added that to the wiki. One question though: my script is based on the make_tarball.sh script in the scripts directory. I can't use it directly since on the computer where my scripts run I don't have some packages which are needed to pass the PREBUILD_DIST stage (which is always ON). So I package the plplot source with -DPREBUILD_DIST=OFF -DBUILD_DOC=OFF - is this a problem? The script looks like this #!/bin/bash DATE=`date +%y%m%d` echo "creating temporary directories" rm -rf /tmp/plplot mkdir -p /tmp/plplot/build echo "getting last svn version of plplot" cd /tmp/plplot svn export https://plplot.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/plplot/trunk source echo "creating package" cd /tmp/plplot/build cmake -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON -DDEFAULT_NO_BINDINGS=ON - DDEFAULT_NO_DEVICES=ON \ -DPREBUILD_DIST=OFF -DBUILD_DOC=OFF ../source >& cmake${DATE}.out make package_source >& make_package_source${DATE}.out echo "scopying packages to miscdebris.net" TARBALL=`ls plplot-*.tar.gz` scp $TARBALL [EMAIL PROTECTED]:plplot_weeklies/`basename $TARBALL tar.gz`-$ {DATE}.tar.gz Regards, Werner -- Dr. Werner Smekal Institut fuer Allgemeine Physik Technische Universitaet Wien Wiedner Hauptstr 8-10 A-1040 Wien Austria email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://www.iap.tuwien.ac.at/~smekal phone: +43-(0)1-58801-13463 (office), +43-(0)1-58801-13469 (laboratory) fax: +43-(0)1-58801-13499 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
