Hi,
The following project was submitted to Savannah. It needs evaluation to
become a GNU package, can you give it a look, please ?
Submitter: <address@hidden>
Project Full Name: Sources INSTALLer
Project System Name: sinstall
License: gpl
Approval URL: https://savannah.gnu.org/admin/groupedit.php?group_id=3566
Description: My project is a source packages installer. It is written in perl5
and allows to install almost any source package without knowing anything about
it.
The major goal of this is to make installing sources easier and faster.
The important features are reading and saving uninstall logs (quite similar to
freebsd port's logs), which are currently read from installwatch's log or (if
installwatch is not used) installed throught DESTDIR option, read and moved to
prefix location or if neither is possible (for Makefiles written by hand),
parse the files from make install's output. It allows to download packages from
the internet, read the from a list or from the command-line.
Tar and {g,b}zip archives are automatically extracted on the begin, then there
are made some checks (it looks for cvs scripts, configures, makefiles) and
chooses how to install the package. It also makes (very basic yet) errors
checking for configure and make parts.
Later I plan to add dependencies checking (which may be downloaded and
installed automatically).
Also there is still most of documentation missing, it will be added as soon as
I finish it.
You can download a pre-release on www.sweb.cz/incoming429/si.tar.gz
but this version is under developenment, unstable and doesn't include all the
features. But it's mostly functional.
