Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] Re: Slack Builds and VL - my suggestions

[Tony B. <tb...@gm...>]

Version numbers will be stripped.  I only need the package name up to the
version number.  The build script will be similar to the one I made before =
I
had to take my hiatus away from VL but I believe only Robert has that.

We will need to track any modifications to the base for customized things
very carefully and make a vl-custom package that we can in the future just
install right after the base is automatically built.

The goal of all of this is to allow us to eventually be separate from Slack
but still remain compatible to a certain degree so slack apps will work on
VL even after we are not using their base.  The second goal is to make it s=
o
that a base can be automatically built on its own without a lot of user
intervention which will result in a very clean standard base.  The third
goal will come as a result of the previous 2 in that it will free everyone
up to build as many packages as we can.
