Script using installwatch to create file list and package.

[Jason W]

This script uses installwatch to create packages in the case where DESTDIR or similar is not available.  Simply invoke the script followed by 'make install"

/tmp/installscript make install


And it will do it's thing.  The file is commented with what can be changed and what does what.

Requires tar.tcz and checkinstall-tc.tcz

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
# Installwatch parsing routines taken from Lunar Linux and Checkinstall to
# create file lists and/or packages from 'make install'.

. /etc/init.d/tc-functions

if [ ! -f /usr/local/tce.installed/tar ]; then
echo "${RED}You need to install tar.tcz.  Exiting..${NORMAL}"
exit 1
fi

if [ ! -f /usr/local/tce.installed/checkinstall-tc ]; then
echo "${RED}You need to install checkinstall-tc.tcz.  Exiting..${NORMAL}"
exit 1
fi


######## SET THESE VARIABLES IF DESIRED.

WORKPATH=/tmp  # a directory will be created in this path using the $PWD where the script
       # was run, and will be where the files and package will reside.  It is
       # named using the $PWD to seperate the results of different package builds.

INSTALLWATCHLOGPATH=/tmp     # Location of installwatch files, not important per se.

PACKAGE=YES  ## YES creates a tarball of the package in $WORKPATH, leave blank to not.

COMMAND="${*##${0}}" # Uses the command invoked after this script, can hardcode to 'make install' if desired.

BASEDIR="$WORKPATH"/`basename "$PWD"`  # The actual directory where the results will reside.
       # Adjust WORKPATH for the desired location.

even so I can't make it work

Code: [Select]

tc@box:/tmp/inst$ bash ./installscript mkdir /tmp/provax
Tarring files to /tmp/inst/package-inst.tar.gz
tc@box:/tmp/inst$
tc@box:/tmp/inst$ ls -l
total 8
-rw-r--r--    1 tc       staff            0 Mar 28 12:16 filelist
-rwxr-xr-x    1 tc       staff         2240 Mar 28 11:37 installscript
-rw-r--r--    1 tc       staff           45 Mar 28 12:16 package-inst.tar.gz
tc@box:/tmp/inst$ cat filelist
tc@box:/tmp/inst$

I hope that someone else try it to determine if it's only my problem or generalized problem

[Jason W]

It's tuned to ignore entries in /tmp, /dev, etc where you normally don't want to install files.

Adjust the EXCLUDE variable if needed.

[vinnie]

Ok, Work!

Code: [Select]

tc@box:/tmp/inst$  bash ./installscript mkdir /home/provax

Also installwatch if i using /usr but its output is completely different from your showed me in other topic:

my output

Code: [Select]

tc@box:/usr$ sudo bash installwatch mkdir -p dir/{1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9}

INFO : Using a default root directory : /tmp/tmp.zaXH03

tc@box:/usr$ sudo cat /tmp/tmp.zaXH03/logfile
0       mkdir   /tmp/dir        #success
0       mkdir   /tmp/dir/{1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9}      #success

your

Code: [Select]

0 mkdir /home/tc/dir #success
0 mkdir /home/tc/dir/1 #success
-1 mkdir /home/tc/dir #File exists
0 mkdir /home/tc/dir/2 #success
-1 mkdir /home/tc/dir #File exists
0 mkdir /home/tc/dir/3 #success
-1 mkdir /home/tc/dir #File exists
0 mkdir /home/tc/dir/4 #success
-1 mkdir /home/tc/dir #File exists
0 mkdir /home/tc/dir/5 #success
-1 mkdir /home/tc/dir #File exists
0 mkdir /home/tc/dir/7 #success
-1 mkdir /home/tc/dir #File exists
0 mkdir /home/tc/dir/8 #success
-1 mkdir /home/tc/dir #File exists
0 mkdir /home/tc/dir/9 #success
and in fact changing your script and commenting EXCLUDE line what happens in the home is not monitored.
seems seriously that we have two different installwatch (but this is impossible!)
I probably will have to renounce, i will use find & diff.

I want to thank you anyway  

[Jason W]

If you set EXCLUDE to an empty value rather than comment it, it monitors what happes in home, I just tried it.   So it should work in that case.

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ /mnt/hda2/installscript mkdir -p /home/tc/files
Tarring files to /tmp/tc/package-tc.tar.gz
tc@box:~$ cat /tmp/tc/filelist
home
home/tc
home/tc/files
tc@box:~$

I did not know whether to lift the quotation marks and then I did both tests

Code: [Select]

...
EXCLUDE=""
...

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~/inst$ bash ./installscript mkdir ~/prova
Tarring files to /tmp/inst/package-inst.tar.gz

tc@box:~/inst$ cat /tmp/inst/filelist

Code: [Select]

There really is something strange
