[Helidelinux-devel] gadgets

[Hui Z. <zh...@wa...>]

I imported a new module --- gadgets into the cvs Repository.

The gadgets are intended to hold many small utility programs which
just manage some simple aspects of lfs building.

I put a program I just written in the gadget: blfsdep

blfsdep will extract package dependency info from a blfs book and
output into an OGDL file, a perl program depsort will recursively walk
out an installation sequence for any blfs package.

Here is the Readme:


To build:
    run ``make''

To install:
    Run ``make install'', default will install into /usr/bin,
        for other place, change Makefile/PREFIX.

To Use:
    Check out blfs book.
    Run ``blfsdep /To/Path/BLFSBOOK/index.xml >dep.txt'' to prepare
        the dependency file;
    To find a installation for package, run ``depsort package''

    depsort supports options:
        -r  only required dependency
        -o  with all optional dependency
        -p  will prompt for optional dependency
        -v  will verbosely print message during recursively walking.

    For exact package name, browse dep.txt, it's in ogdl, so very readable.

Note:
    make install doesn't install depsort. You have to manually copy it.
    As it uses the OGDL perl module, you may want check out that in
    http://ogdl.sourceforge.net/ as well.
