Packaging

MakeNL Packaging

Besides being made available by archives containing the source, MakeNL is also available packaged in various ways (where "vvv" is an indication of the version):

• MNvvvSRC.ZIP - Source code release archive
• MNvvvD16.ZIP - DOS 16-bit release archive
• MNvvvD32.ZIP - DOS 32-bit release archive
• MNvvvO16.ZIP - OS/2 16-bit release archive
• MNvvvO32.ZIP - OS/2 32-bit release archive
• MNvvvW32.ZIP - MS Windows 32-bit release archive
• MNvvvLNX.ZIP - Linux x86 release archive (statically linked)

Debian/Ubuntu

The files needed to create a Debian or Ubuntu package are available in a separate debian directory, versions for that are separate from MakeNL itself so it is maintained in the separate debian branch in the GIT repository.

Source debian archives are available in the project downloads section. These are intended to be generic enough to be used on any Debian or Debian derived distribution and consist of the following files:

• makenl_m.n.p-d.dsc: this is the description file for the source archive. It includes checksum information for the other two files and is usually signed by the creator of the package.
• makenl_m.n.p-d.debian.gz: The differences between the MakeNL source archive and the debian sources, including the debian directory and any changes from the original sources maintained as patches (package v3).
• makenl_m.n.p-d.diff.gz: The differences between the MakeNL source archive and the debian sources, provided as a single diff against the original source. (package v1)
• makenl_m.n.p.orig.tar.gz: MakeNL source archive, created from the distribution source archive.

Binary debian archives are available as either generic i386 or amd64 archives or as archives intended for a specific distributions which will have their code name as part of the archive name.

Other

• Slackware Linux - The files needed to create a Slackware package are available in the slackware subdirectory in the MakeNL sources.
• Gentoo/Funtoo - An ebuild has been created for MakeNL as part of a fidonet overlay.
