I have a large set of already packages (300+) that I'd like to make some minor modifications to the meta data in. Since it takes a few hours to build them all I'd prefer to avoid dong that. So, is there a tool out there that allows me to make some minor changes to the meta data of a package?
A package is just a tar.xz, so you can simply unzip it, edit the .PKGINFO file, and zip it again. (I think)
I've opened one and taken a look inside and there are checksums for all files in it, including the .PKGINFO. So I'm guessing that just editing the .PKGINFO isn't enough. Not that much of a problem though, but if someone else has already solved it I'd rather borrowing that solution :) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus As long as there are ill-defined goals, bizarre bugs, and unrealistic schedules, there will be Real Programmers willing to jump in and Solve The Problem, saving the documentation for later.
