Re: [leaf-devel] why do we install non-build binaries in bt_staging_dir?

2005-04-03 Thread Eric Spakman
Hi Paul, I understand your concerns, but the biggest problem with a toolchain is that some configure and Makefiles in sources have hardcoded paths in it to system libraries (or use libtool). Even with a toolchain it is possible that sources can't be compiled or are "polluted" with "leaking" librar

Hello Paul, There is no rule for it and we are currently "mis-using" CVS all over the place :-) But I think putting init.d, default and action files directly in CVS instead of a patch is much better, we do that for most packages. Take a look at the different setups in CVS, you can use names li

Re: [leaf-devel] why do we install non-build binaries in bt_staging_dir?

2005-04-03 Thread Eric Spakman
Hello Paul, The reason for this is that we have the possibility someday to chroot in the bt_staging_dir. Once everything is build you have a fairly complete distro and by chrooting or adding a kernel to it should be possible to boot it and use it as a compile environment (after some tweaking).

Re: [leaf-devel] adding files to /etc/shorewall from a different package?

2005-04-03 Thread Eric Spakman
Hello Paul, You can add the action.x files and the *_start file to /var/lib/lrpkg/upnpd.list. The /etc/shorewall and /etc/shorewall/start.d/ directories are owned by the shorewall package so the other files in this directory should be saved by the shorewall package itself. Look at the weblet p

[leaf-devel] best way to keep "new" files that are part of an lrp?

2005-04-03 Thread Paul Traina
In the upnpd package, I create several new files that are part of the package and are LEAF environment specific. At first, I was keeping them in a patch file, but that seems like I'm mis-using cvs. I think it would be best to actually keep them as individual source files right in CVS so peopl

[leaf-devel] why do we install non-build binaries in bt_staging_dir?

2005-04-03 Thread Paul Traina
I certainly understand why we copy the toolchain, libraries, and include files into bt_staging_dir, but it seems somewhat bogus that we're doing so for end-binaries (i.e. things that nothing else is ever going to depend upon)... Is there a reason for this? It seems that there was a change in t
