Hello List, a few comments on the posted patch... @@ -1389,7 +1391,57 @@ if [ "$INFAKEROOT" = "1" ]; then tidy_install fi - create_package + if [ "$splitinstall" != "" ] ; then + backup_o=$backup + conflicts_o=$conflicts + depends_o=$depends + groups_o=$groups + install_o=$install + license_o=$license + pkgdesc_o=$pkgdesc + pkgname_o=$pkgname + pkgver_o=$pkgver + provides_o=$provides + replaces_o=$replaces + url_o=$url This is the right place to do this in my opinion, that way you have the global defined defaults for every slpit-package. To move this inside of the loop would kill the posibility to get the fuits from my next comment. + create_package I think this is wrong from the view to build sub-packages out of one compiled tree. build should be used to only build the sources and prepare everything which would be usefull for all subpackages. That way we could add a new param to makepkg to bould only a subset of the splitpackages by overriding the contents of the defined var splitinstall. + for it in "${splitinstall[@]}" ; do + if [ -d "$pkgdir" ]; then + msg "Removing existing pkg/ directory..." + rm -rf "$pkgdir" + fi + mkdir -p "$pkgdir" I like it that way and we can fix the issue spotted by *Allan McRae* (non working repackage param) if we take the way of my prevous comment and allow to rebuild only a subset of the splitpackages. I think we should add the splitpackage-name to repackage as additional param to makepkg's command line and use that to override the splitinstall value in case we want repackage. --8<-- thanks, Marc
