which creates DVD sized images instead of the default CD-ROM sized images.
Prompted by the current size of an i386 CD-ROM set (7) and the suggestion
by David Brownlee that we create DVD images.
This update adds a prominant message at the end of the run explicitly stating
which class of NO_BIN_ON_{FTP,CDROM} pkgs have been included or excluded
from the set. This should help prevent accidental license violations.
Suggested by Hubert Feyrer in private email.
- by default cdpack now excludes NO_BIN_ON_CDROM packages. This is the most
important change. Previously all pkgs were included.
- added flag to allow NO_BIN_ON_CDROM packages
- added flag to exclude NO_BIN_ON_FTP packages
- increased the verbosity resulting from the verbose flag
- added a debug flag to preserve tmp files
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
change is that the automatically generated README.txt file is now
only generated if requested via the -R flag as opposed to always generating
the file.
Suggested by Hubert.
Changes are:
add a '-X directory' option which allows you to specify a directory whose
contents should be included on the last CD of the set. This is useful
for including, for example, a pkgsrc.tar.gz tarball which doesn't need
to be duplicated on each CD.
make the usage output be a little better. in particular, list the options
and mention the existance of a manpage.
cdpack is a small utility for creating ISO 9660 images for
a multi-CD binary package collection. The utility creates
ISO 9660 images for all the binary packages in a specified
directory. A choice of two algorithms is available for how
the packages are grouped. The "no duplication" algorithm
arranges the packages so any package on CD number `n' will
have all of its dependencies on CD numbers 1 through `n'.
The "no inter-CD depends" algorithm will place certain
packages on more than one CD to ensure that each CD is self
contained (all package dependencies are satisfied within
the single CD).
