Rules for build scripts
Posted: 31 Jan 2011, 21:57
Please make sure you copy buildscript to the module to make further development easier. Also you MUST include either a /var/log/packages/package-name-1.2.3-i486-1 file that contains a name, description, file size, dependencies list and file list ... or ... a porteus package.index file in /var/module-name.index that has the same info in the same order as a slackware package.
The only stipulation is that the 'description' should have no more than 8 lines (for example)
modulename: Please put your module description here and it
modulename: should not be any longer than 8 lines.
modulename: 8 lines is sufficient to write a good description
modulename: and if you don't use all the line make sure you leave
modulename: the rest of the lines in place and untouched like here.

As we have not yet decided on a package manager for porteus i think it is best that we at least start by following a strict guideline for official modules so that package management will be easier in the future.
