CHANGES:
|
|
|
|
My version of pkgmk has a few changes:
|
|
|
|
* You don't have to build packages as root anymore, it won't
|
|
even work. This is a very good security feature.
|
|
|
|
To make this work right pkgmk will now use /usr/pkgmk as the
|
|
workdir.
|
|
|
|
* pkgmk doesn't error out if it finds a mismatch in the md5sum
|
|
or the footprint, it asks you what to do.
|
|
|
|
* The PKGMK_KEEP_ON_ERROR=yes option will keep pkgmk from
|
|
removing the builddir if an error occured, for debugging
|
|
purposes.
|
|
|
|
* The -s or --short-circuit option skips the unpacking of the
|
|
source and other steps so you can finish a build where you
|
|
left it. Very practical if you just build mozilla and you
|
|
notice you forgot the permissions of one file.
|
|
If you comment out lines in the Pkgfile at least keep one
|
|
command.
|
|
And don't forget to use the -kw option.
|
|
|
|
* The -up or --update-port option is a macro. First it checks if
|
|
your $EDITOR env. var. is set, then it removes all source-
|
|
files, edits the Pkgmk file with $EDITOR and then attempts to
|
|
upgrade the package. This is a usefull macro for packagebuild-
|
|
ers.
|
|
|
|
* I added support for partial downloads.
|
|
|
|
* A few changes that make the pkgmk script more efficient.
|
|
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION:
|
|
|
|
You have to change the ownership of the builddirectory to your
|
|
useraccount.
|
|
|
|
chown -R username:users /usr/pkgmk
|
|
|
|
Also add this to your /etc/pkgadd.conf:
|
|
|
|
UPGRADE ^usr/pkgmk/.*$ NO
|
|
|
|
|
|
USING SUDO:
|
|
|
|
To make pkgmk still be able to install and update packages you
|
|
will have to add the following line to your sudoers file with
|
|
the command /usr/sbin/visudo
|
|
|
|
username ALL=PASSWD:/usr/bin/pkgadd, /usr/bin/pkgrm
|
|
|
|
If you don't want sudo to ask for your password add a line like this:
|
|
|
|
username ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/pkgadd, /usr/bin/pkgrm
|
|
|
|
After that you can add packages with for example:
|
|
|
|
sudo pkgadd -u /usr/pkgmk/package*
|
|
|
|
|
|
OTHER PROGRAMS:
|
|
|
|
* ports is another program which requires root permissions by
|
|
default. I recommend you use the ports version included in my
|
|
tree.
|
|
|
|
With this command you can change the ownership of the
|
|
ports-tree to your own account:
|
|
|
|
chown -R username:users /usr/ports
|
|
|
|
|
|
* prt-get doesn't require root to work either. It's very easy to
|
|
make it use sudo for adding packages. Add this line to your
|
|
/etc/prt-get.conf:
|
|
|
|
addcommand sudo pkgadd
|
|
removecommand sudo pkgrm
|
|
runscriptcommand sudo /usr/local/bin/ask_prepost
|
|
|
|
Is what my prt-get.conf looks like.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SOME PORTS REALLY NEED ROOT:
|
|
|
|
It may happen you find a package which really requires root to
|
|
be build; for example the procps package runs ldconfig during
|
|
install. This is IMHO an error in the package. The whole idea of
|
|
doing a _fake_ install is that it doesn't touch _any_ file on
|
|
the live filesystem.
|
|
|
|
You can find a modified version of the procps package in my
|
|
repository. Please send the author of such a package a request
|
|
to modify his package and send me a CC:
|
|
|
|
In the odd case your package really really needs root permis-
|
|
sions to be build there is the -rb option.
|
|
|
|
TODO:
|
|
|
|
* Add an option to disable interactiveness for automated script
|
|
usage.
