========== Checkinstall 1.6.2 is released =========== commit 3af2ebd909675c7e6c75dfc8516894208c8b9797 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Sun Nov 16 10:18:58 2008 -0600 Fixed typo when finding files created under /home commit e4a3eda80922bcc1c6a065b39ccc1a5f6279675e Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Sun Nov 16 10:15:58 2008 -0600 fixed type issues on 64 bit glibc 2.7 Patrick Ohly commit e02fd179f57d8808238a20507d8615c091ca5951 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Sun Nov 16 10:14:54 2008 -0600 --replaces option, similar to --conflicts (Debian only) Patrick Ohly commit 897fa9da37b215d441faf5cc73032705fc892043 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Sun Nov 16 10:14:14 2008 -0600 No epoch in Debian version Do not use the epoch in a package version (: prefix) for the package name (that's also what dpkg-buildpackage does). Patrick Ohly commit 932082d084c2e8aa50c958b03d190c2b5884fce3 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Sun Nov 16 10:13:08 2008 -0600 docdir without package name With the traditional --docdir option it is not possible to select a path which does not include the package name and version. With this patch one can use --docdir=: to select a directory that nothing gets appended to. Patrick Ohly commit d49c9b09e576056374ba8491238ce43b769363eb Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Sun Nov 16 10:12:24 2008 -0600 Avoid hard-coded installation directory Instead of hard-coding /usr/local as installation directory, find out where the checkinstall script is actually located and find the other files relative to that: /bin/checkinstall /lib/checkinstall/... /lib/installwatch.so Patrick Ohly commit 90f2cf5d71638bb5512e7d2f1db76b19b94a7c7c Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Sun Nov 16 10:07:29 2008 -0600 Allow package creation without being root via fakeroot Note that the default location of checkinstall is not normally in PATH of normal users, so call it explicitly or set PATH: fakeroot /usr/local/sbin/checkinstall ...

Fixed filenames with spaces regression. Sebastien's patch had trouble copying files with spaces in their name. Fixed it. commit 93f567e76a686c242412acf01bec33f28bbb18ce Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Fri Nov 14 10:02:43 2008 -0600 Added mknodat() support. Just like fstatat(), it requires us to define __xmknodat() commit 26cc029823ca5e4cf965ce948a25a5b4b4bf3bf9 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Fri Nov 14 09:18:58 2008 -0600 Added readlinkat() support commit 8c74edad883d74283e171c70f49613e0fd77dcc7 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Fri Nov 14 08:59:00 2008 -0600 Added mkdirat() support, fixed link() ommission. commit e993c1f9f7cca1e69576ab7dd7538e146106c298 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Fri Nov 14 01:24:50 2008 -0600 Patch from Sebastien Vasey for permissions and symlinks issues. Fixes a permission issue that, for example would let a package created by checkinstall change the owner of a user's home directory to root. This is done by ensuring permissions are preserved at each step. An issue with symlinks is also fixed. The patch makes checkinstall dereference all symbolic links that are not created by the installation script, while the others are kept. commit 66e142436759e8085a274f57f8c4d9d7a549e8f7 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Fri Nov 14 01:01:37 2008 -0600 Added linkat() support In instw_setpathrel(): If dirfd is AT_FDCWD then we got nothing to do, return the path as-is In linkat(): FIXME: If we have AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW we need to dereference the links commit 653cc2da7a885c5688e12af31c12dc58db16d7f2 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Wed Nov 12 18:30:24 2008 -0600 Updated checkinstall version Id, minor debug message format fix for fopen() commit 380e3a4520097464681442cf64022bd86aab18ab Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Wed Nov 12 18:24:19 2008 -0600 Added support for chownat() and fstatat() Included fstatat() support which in fact requires __fxstatat() and __fxstatat64(). Just like __xstat() and its relatives, they are the back-end for fstatat(), which in glibc is implemented as an inline function. See the details in sys/stat.h. While doing a strace of the chown utility I found out it calls chmod32() so I added a small hook to support it. commit e9ccdd2f8c0f846e62203d4f1d3c77cfa7d8c9d8 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Wed Nov 12 16:15:31 2008 -0600 checkinstall: Keep tmp dir and debug file if in debug mode installwatch: Use the right variable name for fchmodat() debug call commit e954f02a9697bd342baff65353b59162e5621f0b Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Wed Nov 12 15:22:00 2008 -0600 Cleaned up the source directory commit 8efcfadff61443642cda7b888d1b7da0f0759f0a Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Wed Nov 12 15:12:00 2008 -0600 Removed execve() support I don't need it right now and it's causing segfaults when running checkinstall. I'll look into it later. commit c0c4ff9855de594e9b7ac3240bb728277cda557a Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Wed Nov 12 15:09:56 2008 -0600 Added fchownat() support commit d084a5e13a3dc3530ec11f2fd7e7bb55a02c0cbf Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Wed Nov 12 08:06:42 2008 -0600 Added a comment explaining the way openat()-ish functions are implemented. commit 18e25050c33020e8f52e41016d43c141ed9890bd Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Tue Nov 11 20:43:43 2008 -0600 Added locale files commit 22f158b0a2f8b297e5ea4e4cdb2462458b3ac6a3 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Tue Nov 11 20:22:43 2008 -0600 Eiminated the installwatch version from checkinstall's Makefile commit 7a66fe38c23eda68ec19e14e5c88365ec1095e56 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Tue Nov 11 20:14:34 2008 -0600 Support for 64-bit architectures in the installwatch script commit 24709aa3e4635b9b5adcc3b4a6b3f3f2ad975400 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Tue Nov 11 20:08:20 2008 -0600 Update localdecls for newer glibc minor versions commit 3a8f06f1b33bb02fb899b7e65200d9285d047ca6 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Tue Nov 11 20:04:34 2008 -0600 Support for readlink() variations from different glibc versions. commit 8985cab38df1abfb9b36b1275577601021878038 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Tue Nov 11 20:01:30 2008 -0600 Added reduce() invocation in instw_setpath() to clean up the path commit a3cea18f491fa5db6b4d1c0558d96dcd4247c7d8 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Tue Nov 11 19:58:30 2008 -0600 Fix minor debug messages formatting errors commit 40c03122c5b615ce151f7a4cf2bb088d547d7af2 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Tue Nov 11 19:57:23 2008 -0600 fchmodat() support commit 8414cfda5031039a91a2ee3ef7fd5455d151c2b0 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Tue Nov 11 19:56:11 2008 -0600 Added reduce() It simplyfies paths, by reducing all occurences of "..", ".", and extra "/" in path. commit dcf3294b15f1bb89aa1b809513a68be29a9caf25 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Tue Nov 11 19:54:12 2008 -0600 openat() support commit 41fcd29f564980e0604200e3ad8d79b6133cbf74 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Tue Nov 11 19:50:01 2008 -0600 Switch log() for logg() commit 8afe5835ed8930aa7140a1c4182e4be320bfefe0 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Tue Nov 11 19:40:53 2008 -0600 removexattr() from Alex Kern commit ef703d588638e76f6dc6e69d87eba26ead7fd066 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Tue Nov 11 19:39:16 2008 -0600 setxattr() support from Alex Kern commit ec51e682ea122291e14aa4ed8deb835474838174 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Tue Nov 11 19:33:29 2008 -0600 Initialize trlen, from the code-cleanups.patch from SuSE installwatch-1.6.1-40 commit b26ba653f386051e94691721921c650d833c2b79 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Tue Nov 11 19:32:27 2008 -0600 Save errno, sent by Benoît PAPILLAULT at Source Mage linux commit 7c2b1b3528f53d6e5d44261d2b1c77951e466e2f Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Tue Nov 11 19:30:21 2008 -0600 Modified some grammar / spelling mistakes commit c48d9af661e762fbff5bb31aaefa72bf088bb120 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran Date: Tue Nov 11 13:35:00 2008 -0600 Switch to git. Checkinstall pre 1.6.2 nov/01/2006 * Provides/Requires bug fixed * Applied the patches from Felipe Sateler: - We now explicitly run bash (It has always benn a requiremente anyway) - In Debian we set the architecture with dpkg-architecture. - If we're creating a .dpkg then we eliminate uderscores and put dashes instead in the package name. - Tag all files in /etc inside the package as config files june/23/2005 ====== Checkinstall 1.6.0 is released ====== * Applied the PAGER patch from Tomas Pospisek * Changed the Provides/Requires option in the menu * Applied the "Copyright patch" from Andy Hanton to fix some issues with newer rpm versions. Also his buildroot patch december/01/2004 ====== Checkinstall 1.6.0beta4 is released ====== * CK_SLACKWARE, CK_REDHAT and CK_DEBIAN were being ignored if set in checkinstallrc. Fixed. * Fixed "libdirs: file not found" * Improved postinstall-pak handling * Fixed variable name typo: It said PROVODES instead of PROVIDES. Reported by Bernd Weigelt. * Cosmetic fix in "--help" output * Added command line flag "--addso". * The default for ADD_SO is now NO. So no more auto-editing of /etc/ld.so.conf unless explicitly requested. * Fixed detection of postinstall scripts (PINST_EXISTS bug) * Added MAKEPKG_FLAGS to checkinstallrc. By default sets flags useful to users of newer Slackware versions. * Added SHOW_MAKEPKG to checkinstallrc. * Fixed the famous "segfault on newer glibc's" bug in installwatch december/25/2003 * Fixed another "argument list too long" bug. * Merged in some suggestions from Tobias G: more docs filenames for automatic inclusion in doc-pak and better handling of symlinks when copying the documentation files. * Added a "--reset-uids" option that resets the permissions of all files and directories to "755" and the owner and group of all directories to root.root, in a way similar to what Slackware's makepkg prompts you to do. * Added a patch from Thomas Rausck to also add symlinked directories. * Fixed the support for recycling a pre-existing .spec file. Part of the fix was based on a patch sent by Karlheinz Pischke. * The PKG_GROUP variable is correctly set when using the -R, -S or -D command line options. * Added a "--fstrans" command line option for enabling or disabling the filesystem translation code. * Fixed the problem many people found when copying the documentation files. Now the documentation and the included (With "--include") files are handled outside the installscript.sh script. This keeps the filesystem translation code from messing with those. * The package information menu was moved to the first stages of the script. Now you can modify the package's name or version and the documentation directory will be correctly named. * Improved the domain name detection algorithm used when setting the "Maintainer" field. We start with the env variable HOSTNAME, then try running "hostname -f" and finally we default to "localhost". * A pre-existing .spec file will not be erased when checkinstall exits. * If a pre-existing slack-desc file is found then we use it to generate the description-pak file UNLESS we already have a description-pak file. * CheckInstall attempts to identify any ELF shared libraries in the package and append their locations to the /etc/ld.so.conf file, if they are not already there. december/14/2003 * Fixed a small typo, reported by Andrej Lajovic. * Added default values that were missing for BASE_TMP_DIR, PAK_DIR, RPM_FLAGS and DPKG_FLAGS. Also fixed a bug that made checkinstall ignore the setting of INSTALLWATCH_PREFIX and INSTALLWATCH. Reported by Karlheinz Pischke. november/28/2003 * Fixed a problem in printf when the $format variable contained a "--" march/28/2003 * More echog() and echogn() modifications. They now properly escape asterisks and probably the rest of the special characters. march/23/2003 * Created two new echog() and echogn() functions for using gettext with printf()-like formatting. All references in the script were modified for using these new functions. march/16/2003 * Applied another patch from Dmitry, this time to include directories in the .spec file when building rpm packages. The root directory is excluded, wich fixes the problem we had before that made us not including directories at all. march/15/2003 * Added a check to see if rpmbuild is in the PATH when we are expecting it to be there. march/13/2003 --- 1.6.0beta3 begins --- * Applied patches from Dmitry Vukolov for CK_DEBIAN and CK_REDHAT handling. Several patches for handling spaces in directories and a "$" that was not properly escaped in a warning message. march/12/2003 * Added version setting patch sent by Lawrie Abbott * Added new command line options "--rpmi" and "--rpmu" for telling rpm to (i)nstall or (U)pdate new rpm packages. * In slackware, tar-1.13 is used if present (Fixes some issues when building packages in newer Slackware versions). * Added command line option: "--with-tar" which can be used to manually specify the path to the tar binary to be used when building packages. * Fixed document directory handling * The MAKEPKG variable can now be set in the checkinstallrc file march/11/2003 * Merged in the patches from Dima Vukolov for erasing the temp .tgz file used when building a rpm package and finding the RPM source directory path using the %_topdir macro from rpm * Added Thomas Rausch's patches for symlink handling november/27/2002 * Added internationalization support via GNU gettext november/24/2002 * Added support for preinstall-pak, postinstall-pak, preremove-pak and postremove-pak scripts on both RPM and Debian packages. In Slackware the postinstall script was already supported as "install-pak". * Added support for inclusion of a custom list of files in the package, via the "--include" command line option. It takes a file as argument. That file should contain the list of files to be included, one per line. * Added the "--inspect" command line option. It allows you to view and optionally edit the list of files to be included in the package, before the package is created. Suggested by Max Norton. * Added the "--review-spec" and "--review-control" command line options that allow you to review the .spec or DEBIAN/control files when creating .rpm or .deb packages, before the packages are created. * Merged in the patches sent by Max Norton for fixing some man page handling bugs and to copy directories with special permissions. * The RPM packages now include directories so these should be also deleted when a .rpm package is removed. november/23/2002 * Added Olivier Fleurigeon's patches for support of the new installwatch 0.7.0beta1, that allows us to do the whole installation procedure in an alternative root, therefore allowing to create a package without actually installing it in the system. This functionality is invoked with the "--install=" command line option. * Added support for "--requires" for specifying package requirements for RPM packages. This patch was sent by Ulrich Baur. october/26/2002 * The rpmbuild program is used only if using rpm 4.x. Otherwise we still use "rpm -bb" * If there's an install-pak file, --ss is implied (Run the Slackware install script interactively) september/10/2002 * The user's umask is ignored and automatically set to "0022", unless the user explicitly request a custom umask value with the new "--umask" command line option. * Added support for the new Slackware package description format. It can be activated with the "--newslack" command line switch. august/25/2002 * We use "rpmbuild -bb" instead of "rpm -bb", because newer rpm versions no longer support the use of "b" switches with the "rpm" program. * Fixed a bug introduced in version 1.5.2. The description file for Slackware packages was not handled properly by the doinst.sh script. * The architecture string is set to "powerpc" when building a Debian package. july/09/2002 * Applied patch from Simon Munton for filtering out only the file names that begin with "/dev" and not every file name with "/dev" in it. june/28/2002 * Man pages under /usr/local are compressed too. april/24/2002 * Automatic man page compressing is now available when the "--gzman=yes" command line option is selected. This includes code from the brb-compress script included in the rpm-4.0.2 distribution. * Various fixes and workarounds for the case when the source directory's path contains white spaces. Read the BUGS file. april/22/2002 * Added "OpenLinux" to the list of possible locations for the rpm sources directory. Suggested by Michael v.Ostheim. * Added the "debianize" patch from Matt Hope. Now the .deb packages built with checkinstall should be a bit more Debian-standard-compliant. * The pager used by checkinstall can now be selected via the PAGER environment variable. * The pkgtool info display warning is now issued only if the Slackware packaging system is selected. Suggested by Acid Hippy. * If the Debian packaging system is selected, the package version is verified to ensure that it contains at least one digit, otherwise dpkg would complain about it. Suggested by Uri David Akavia. * Another dpkg-friendly correction: the package name is forced to lower case, another thing demanded by dpkg :-). Suggested by Simon Rutishauser. * Included a patch from Vladimir Bilyov to enable symbol stripping from shared libraries. Use it carefully. Active only when "--strip=yes" and "--stripso=yes" is selected. december/22/2001 ====== checkinstall 1.5.1 is released ====== * Modified the slackware package creation module to use the new (Post-Slackware 8.0) Slackware package naming scheme: name-version-architecture-release.tgz. * Added command line options: "--provides" and "--maintainer" december/19/2001 * Corrected the checkinstall.log creation to prevent it from being overwritten with each file created. * Use "." instead of "*" to get all the files in a directory with tar, including any dot files found. Thanks to Tom for both of these. * Merged in the patch from Guglielmo Bondioni to add support for the "Mantainer:" field in the Debian control file. * Added support for the "Provides:" field in the RPM spec file. Sent by Uwe Koloska. * If "description-pak" and/or "doc-pak" are already in the source directory then checkinstall won't delete them when finished unless it is asked to. Suggested by Uwe Koloska. november/27/2001 * Added the "--nodoc" option to answer "no" to the question about including default documentation in the package. * Applied patches from Olivier Fleurigeon: getopt argument parsing and fix a bad behaviour when using "--backup=no" (checkinstall tought that the installation had failed). november/23/2001 * Applied the Paul Wagland patch for a DOC_DIR variable. Now you can specify the path where the package docs will be installed (instead of /usr/doc). I completed it with the "--docdir" command line option. * Corrected a tar invocation explicitly telling it to use stdout. Thanks to George Sipe for noting it. november/18/2001 ====== checkinstall 1.5.0 is released ====== * Finally found the two other file descriptor leaks in installwatch that were still causing the "Too many open files" error when installing huge packages. november/13/2001 * Added new checkinstallrc options: DPKG_FLAGS and RPM_FLAGS. RPMFLAGS is now deprecated. Use RPM_FLAGS instead. * Changed the format of the information displayed by "--help". november/11/2001 * Applied a patch to correctly name the Debian packages. This patch was sent by Guglielmo Bondioni . * Now all the "Package information section" values can be set with command line options. Suggested by Olivier Fleurigeon. october/20/2001 ====== checkinstall 1.5.0beta2 is released ====== * Fixed the "invalid option" problem with rpm. * Added support for a central package repository. If the "PAK_DIR" variable is set (It can be set in the checkinstallrc file) then checkinstall will attempt to create the directory named by PAK_DIR and save the newly created package instead of leaving it at the default location. Now you can automatically keep all your created packages in one single place :) * There's a verification to check if the required binaries to build the selected package type are present. * Miscellaneous changes: "debug: " is prepended to every debugging echo in the script, the yorn() function now uses lower case letters (cosmetic), etc. Make a diff to view details. august/09/2001 * Added a more robust way to create the .spec file's file list, it is now generated from the files found in the buildroot. No more duplicate files (or cuasi-duplicate like "/usr/local/file" and "/usr/local/./file"). * The Slackware package name can now be changed in the Package Information menu. Now you can use a name different to the name of the source directory. * The "-y" command line option now also causes checkinstall to skip the package information menu. Now checkinstall is truly "scriptable". * When the "-y" option is specified the default answer is printed like if the user had typed it in. This is a cosmetic fix. july/20/2001 ====== checkinstall 1.5.0beta1 is released ====== * Started checkinstall-1.5.0 development. CheckInstall can now build Debian packages. * "-D" is now used to tell checkinstall to build a Debian package. "--type=debian" has the same effect. * The package info section is now common to all three packaging sections. If you use Slackware it won't be of much use (yet). One useful thing about it is that you can now change the name of the generated package so it can be different to the current directory's name. * Included the Slackware 8.0 makepkg patch in the "makepak" script. The patch will be effective only if a Slackware 8.0 installation is detected. june/25/2001 ====== checkinstall 1.4.1 is released ====== * Default values are assumed if checkinstallrc is missing * Merged in the tar patches from Sven Mueller Now tar is told to use stdin/stdout instead of just assuming it will. * Fixed the detection of an empty/nonexistent backup directory * "-bk" option is now actually used * Added the "--default" option to assume the default answers to all questions (useful for scripting). "-y" is a sinonym for "--default" * "--exclude" now can specify file names in addition to directory names. * The return status from the install command is now correctly reported. We were reporting "Installation succesful" even if the command returned an error condition. * INSTALLWATCH: Patched to fix the "Too many files open" problem that some people reported. Thanks to Christian Tusche for this one. june/08/2001 ====== checkinstall 1.4.0 is released ====== * Added "--exclude" and "--autodoinst" options * Fixed a bug in the install command parsing * Fixed the backup code april/19/2001 - Felipe Sanchez * Fixed an incorrect path to the checkinstallrc file. * cleanup() no longer deletes doc-pak, the spec file and the description file. * Fixed the "missing ']'" problem when testing the less pager. april/17/2001 - Felipe Sanchez * Started development of checkinstall-1.4.0 * Modified the installwatch library to backup files modified by the installation command _before_ they are modified. This is done at the system call level. CheckInstall now can backup those files and write for you a file containing them. See the RELNOTES file for details. * CheckInstall behavior is now fully configurable via command line flags. Try "checkinstall --help" to see them =) april/16/2001 ====== checkinstall 1.3.2 is released ====== * Made a fix to avoid a possible symlink attack when creating the temp dir. * Fixed handling of filenames with spaces on them. april/07/2001 ====== checkinstall 1.3.1 is released ====== * When the Slackware package creation option is chosen a Slackware installation script is automatically created which will display the package description and put it in the package's log file in /var/log/packages, every time the package is installed with "installpkg". * Fixed the problem with rpm-4.0 about the "target" argument parsing. * Removed some macros from the RPM spec file, including the one that caused RPM to automatically gzip all man pages * ELF binaries are automatically stripped by default. This was copied from one of the rpm-4.0's scripts. I guess that code is Copyrighted by it's author but has no Copyright notice in it. I'm assuming it's GPL'ed as a part of the rpm distribution. * Improved some features and added a few ones. * Included the patches suggested by Bernhard Kaindl - New temp dir (/var/tmp) - No more dummy .tgz source file - Now all arguments are used as a single install command, no quotes needed. * Made some spelling corrections (Thanks to Sergei Kryaczevski) * RPM install flags are now customizable. march/01/2001 ====== checkinstall 1.3.0 stable has been released ====== * description-pak file format has changed. No more "-pak:" prefix on every line This gives us a more easier to write description-pak and fixes the colon-in-the-middle problem reported by Tobias Fritz. * Added options to control various defaults: Package type Display of the output from the install command Package description Deletion of doc-pak, description-pak and .spec file Many of these were suggested by Chris Spiegel. * The yorn function has been largely extended to allow a default value to be specified and displayed, suggested by Sergey Kryaczevskih * The .spec file customization now correctly handles the case where you change the package's name, version or target architecture. This also fixes the LANG problems while detecting the actual created package's name. * Fixed auto-detection of the rpm source directory * Fixed the duplicated files problem with rpm. Thanks to Ferdi Franceschini for this one. * Added debugging mode (see the description inside the script) * Re-organized the variables section in the script. I guess a rc file will come handy very soon.. ;-) * Patched installwatch so it can be compiled with glibc-2.2.1 (Reported by Nicholas Young-Soares) BTW, I took over the development of installwatch; it's author is no longer reachable. jan/20/2001 by Felipe Sanchez * Fixed the nasty bug that prevented operation in nearly every rpm-based distribution * The BuildRoot for RPM package building now points to a much saner place (The build dir inside the temp dir). Thanks to Chris Kuklewicz for the report. * Fixed the install script to make it actually report the exit status of the INSTALLCMD Thanks to all the people who reported bugs in the 1.3.0beta release! jan/18/2001 by Felipe Sanchez * RPM package creation support is in place ! * Now is possible to write multi-line descriptions jan/12/2001 by Felipe Sanchez * Fixed bug which set incorrect (755) permissions to /tmp after the package was installed if the installation procedure created any files inside /tmp. * Fixed typo (chown instead of chmod, duh!) which made useless the security enhancements of the 1.2 release. Now the permission of the new temp dir ( /var/checkinstalltmp by default) should correctly be set to 700. If you used checkinstall 1.2 (now should be known as 1.2.0) then read the RELNOTES file to fix this. Thanks to Chris Spiegel for noting these two! * Changed checkinstall's versioning scheme: major.minor.patchlevel jan/07/2001 by Felipe Sanchez * Fixed a couple of bugs which prevented symlinks from being added to the package and detection of files created inside scripts run by child shells. * Detection of the INT (ctrl-c) signal to allow for proper clean up and termination. * The package description file is now called "description-pak" dec/10/2000 by Felipe Sanchez * Added the "okfail" function * Modified the program's look to be a bit more terse. I hope you like it. dec/09/2000 by Felipe Sanchez * Added even more variables :) * Reorganized temporary files structure under a common TMP_DIR, named after the process' ID to avoid problems with concurrent execution * Changed the yorn funcion (Yes or No) to return true for "Y" and false for "N" * Added an option to ignore files created under the source directory, when these files where installed the owner of that directory (and it's parents) became root:root, a pretty annoying thing when this was your home directory ;) * Modified Slackware's makepkg to avoid the questions about symlinks and permissions. The modified file is called "makepak". nov/18/2000 by Kevin D. Knerr, Sr. * Incorporated more variables to simplify the script & ease maintenance * Added ${} syntax to existing variables when concatenated w/ strings * Created a simple function to handle Y/N inputs * Added an option to let checkinstall create a basic set of package docs based on commonly used doc names * Reorganized some sections to improve program flow while reducing some instances of duplication ===========
