-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-9485 2009-09-11 22:39:30 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : auto-destdir Product : Fedora 11 Version : 1.11 Release : 1.fc11 URL : http://www.dwheeler.com/auto-destdir Summary : Automate DESTDIR support for "make install" Description : Auto-DESTDIR is a set of programs for POSIX/Unix/Linux systems that helps automate program installation from source code. It can be useful for creating native packages (e.g., RPM or deb), or for installing programs from source code to be managed by tools like GNU stow. The Auto-DESTDIR tools (run-redir and make-redir) redirect file installations so that the installed files are placed inside the the $DESTDIR directory, even if the provided makefile doesn't support the DESTDIR convention. In most cases you can simply replace "make install" with "make-redir DESTDIR=... install". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Minor improvements, including the addition of a new wrapper. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Sep 9 2009 David A. Wheeler <dwheeler , at, dwheeler dot com> 1.11-1 - Added wrapper for "touch" - Auto-create DESTDIR directory if it doesn't exist and something is redirected. - Simplified implementation. - Documentation: Fixed make-redir(1) so it describes how to use in RPM spec files, more override info, note that it's useful with GNU stow, etc. - make-redir now overrides MKDIR_P and mkdir_p by default -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #518766 - Review Request: auto-destdir - Automate DESTDIR support for "make install" https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=518766 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
