Rewrote url2pkg in Perl, enhancing it in several ways: - Packages for Perl modules using MakeMaker can be generated almost completely. The only thing that usually needs to be filled out after running url2pkg is the DESCR file. - USE_LANGUAGES is filled automatically. - After generating the initial Makefile, the editor is run to let the user edit the Makefile. These changes are preserved as much as possible. (This had not been the case before.) - Extending url2pkg has been made much easier by splitting the tasks that do the "magic" into small subroutines and by adding a detailed description of what these routines are supposed to do. Set the version number to 2.0.

|
|

|

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm url2pkg
|
|
.Nd Automatic pkgsrc package generator
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Ar URL
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
takes the
|
|
.Ar URL
|
|
to a package's distfile that should be
|
|
turned into a package. The
|
|
generated package includes a
|
|
.Pa Makefile
|
|
and a basic set of files to get the
|
|
package going. Any customisations to get the package going need to be
|
|
adjusted manually after
|
|
.Nm
|
|
has finished its job.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is intended to help starting to created a package, it is not
|
|
intended to fly on autopilot, though.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa Makefile
|
|
contains all the required variables, such as DISTNAME or MASTER_SITES, but some of them cannot be automatically set. Hence, the user's usual editor is invoked to edit the
|
|
.Pa Makefile .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After the
|
|
.Pa Makefile
|
|
is completed,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
fetches the archive, and computes its checksum via the
|
|
.Ic make makesum
|
|
target. Then archive extraction is done, via the
|
|
.Ic make extract
|
|
target, and finally,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
attempts to detect if
|
|
the software uses a
|
|
.Ic configure
|
|
script, and if it's from GNU
|
|
.Ic autoconf .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the user does not supply the
|
|
.Ar URL
|
|
on the command line, then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will prompt for it.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It PKGEDITOR, EDITOR
|
|
Editor used for
|
|
.Pa Makefile
|
|
edition.
|
|
.It PKGMAINTAINER, REPLYTO
|
|
Name used for the MAINTAINER field in the package
|
