Description : helper script to automate kernel module building
Here the current usage info and rationale, package description will be
done when the most functionality is there:
#
# Script to assist users with building of the kernel modules
# First purpose: automate as much as possible for Joe User
# Second purpose: have a database about the source of module packages
# (and all steps needed to get it)
# Third purpose: provide general debian/rules include snippets
#
USAGE:
# autobuild name|all|dir-list [ alternatives headers dir, list ]
# locate the right kernel source or headers directory and build the
# given modules with them. Primary choice for most people.
#
# auto-install (ai)
# like autobuild but also tries to install the created packages
#
# list-available (la), list-installed (li), list-everything (le)
# get name|all|dir-list [ alternative headers dir, list ]
# download (gets implies download)
# update (update the lists, version numbers)
# build name|all|dir-list [ alternatives headers dir, list ]
# Lists are collon-separated
Directory tree of the module-assistant
How does the whole thing work?
Every package that should be controlled with modass provides a
maintainer script (see below) that accepts the following commands:
update
updates the intenal data when needed, eg. version number.
Scripts can do whatever they want, any may use the
/var/lib/modass/cache directory as playground for caching the
data.
version
outputs the current version of the package; syntax == dpkg-style
lastpkg
outputs the filename (full path) of the last built package.
Empty if the build was not successful.
download
installs the source package or fetches the source with
apt-get/apt-src/whatever
unpack
unpacks the downloaded package source in $MODULE_LOC
purge
removes the working source directory and cached data
purge-all
like purge plus removes the binary packages built from the
source
Ressource directory (planned location: /usr/share/modass)
modass
|-- include (files to be sourced by package maintaining scripts and
makefile includes)
|-- overrides (package maintscripts taking precedence over the default ones)
`-- packages (some default scripts, provided by the modass package itself)
Package maintainence scripts are either shipped with module-assistant or
installed by other binary package that have something to do with the
modules. For example, cloop-utils installs one into modass/overrides/.
Of course no module source package does support all this know. For this
reason, I plan to import them all in a big SVN repository on alioth,
having the Debian branch and Modified branch and working on them. All
good things from their rules files will be extracted and merged into
common rules which will become part of module-assistang (similar to the
story of dbs and dpatch packages).
Eduard.
