Where to find extension source
« on: February 04, 2022, 06:22:38 PM »
Where could I find the source or build scripts for extensions? For instance, there's a abiword.tcz available for TC 13.x, with http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/x86/tcz/abiword.tcz as the output package, but http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/x86/tcz/src/ doesn't have any abiword. I'm looking for the equivalent of SRPMs, or PKGBUILDs, or whatever the local equivalent is.

Thanks in advance.

Hi yjftsjthsd
Welcome to the forum.

Sometimes you have to go back a little further:
http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/x86/tcz/src/abiword/
which includes build notes.

Thanks:)

Okay, so TC doesn't rebuild every package for every release, it just relies on its - apparently really good - backwards compatibility and reuses old packages until they get replaced?

Looking at http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/x86/tcz/src/abiword/compile_abiword - that doesn't look like a machine-readable build spec; is that a build spec, a log, or notes from a human manually building a package file?
