Update to 0.12:
Released on 2003/07/24, its state was alpha.
o The bt_wizard module was added, which creates the basic structure
needed for a project based on a serie of interactive questions.
o Added cache support for many checks in bt_config. This makes the
program run a lot faster if checks are duplicated, and more impor-
tant, lets the administrator define check results beforehand in the
system wide bt_config.conf configuration file.
o The bt_swcgen module was added, which aids the system administrator
in the creation of system-wide configuration files for bt_config
(that is, files that store check results to avoid rechecking the same
thing over and over again).
o The buildtool.d/config_init file was deprecated. The entire configu-
ration script is now read from a single file, buildtool.d/config, as
the old framework was confusing and error prone. Compatibility will
be kept for some time.
o The TeXinfo documentation was removed. The manual is now distributed
in its own `buildtool-doc' package, written using Docbook/XML.
o The buildtool.spec file was added, needed to create RPM packages. It
actually supports building binary packages for RedHat Linux and SuSE
Linux.
o Improved user experience: better usage messages and support for long
options added.
o A developer mode was added to all configure scripts (disabled by de-
fault). It enables extra functionality during the build process,
ideal for developers but which may annoy end users.
o Removed license description files. bt_dist will suggest a COPYING
file instead, as this is the most common practice suggested by li-
censes.
o New standard checks in the bt_config module, specially
bt_check_prog_m4() and bt_check_attribute().
o Code cleanup and simplification (using M4 in some places).

As part of the post installation stage, you should now create a system-wide
|
|
|
|
|
configuration file for the bt_config module, containing cached results for
|
|
|
|
|
several common checks run by many configure scripts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For an automated setup, issue the following commands (as ${ROOT_USER}):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}
