  • Looking for a Project Manager

    CoolPackager is a program that creates shell scripts that contain a developers program. When the script is run, it self-extracts, then installs the developers program. The code was written when I was learning C, so it's a little beginnerish. I have no interest for the program anymore, and it has a far greater potential then it has reached. If you're interested in taking over, contact me at sharp@ccil.org.

  • Running in to some trouble.

    I've run into some trouble uploading CPKG-0_7_0.sh and its signature, so hold on. Most of you use the .tar.gz anyway so it's not a major problem. This should be fixed by Sunday at the latest.

    CHANGELOG DateVersionChange 6-28-010.7.0Inproved the look of some of the coding. 6-28-010.7.0Finds out about your software and writes it in CoolTags and if you enable interactive mode for your software, will come up when you type -i after the name of your CoolPackage. 6-28-010.7.0I have CoolPackager writing a new kind of CoolTags that I will document if I get bored. 5-4-010.4.1You can now make your packages have interactivity. Try --help on the new 0.4.1 package. 5-2-010.4.0CoolTags. Now programs can look in the package and get information such as the package generator. 5-2-010.4.0Works with RedHat 7.x. (And should work with everything else.) 5-2-010.4.0Now you only need sh, tar, tail, and gunzip to extract!!! No more gcc!!! 4-21-010.3.1Files don't have to end in .c and their file name can be changed. 4-12-010.3.0Found some stuff that wasn't completely C compliant and changed it. 4-12-010.3.0New Feature: Web scripts. They make it so a user installing the program only has to type one line as root. 4-11-010.2.0Welcome text is now all one one line to provide complience with non-gcc compilers. This makes the text at the bottom REALLY messy. 4-11-010.2.0Changed some more things around so files wouldn't be 4 times the size as their source file. Now only slightly larger than the source file. 4-10-010.1.2Changed some things around to kinda inprove file size. 4-8-010.1.1Added more explainatory interface

  • Interactivity!

    For CoolPackager 0.4.1, I have a new feature: you can use things like --help on the end of a package. There are three you can use (in 0.4.1, more is planned): --help, -hdisplays help --info, -idisplays info --extract, -xextracts package into package.tar.gz Try it on the new realease!
