Re: New tazpkg installs busybox-pam for tazpkg

[Christopher Rogers <slaxemulator@xxxxxxxxx>]

I found out that 7z is better then lzma and xz. 

size in pcmanfm:
VirtualBox-3.2.10-OSE.tar.bz2    58.2MB
VirtualBox-3.2.10-OSE.tar..xz      42.8MB
VirtualBox-3.2.10-OSE.tar.lzma  42.5MB
VirtualBox-3.2.10-OSE.7z           39.8MB

I used p7zip for this. It would add 252kb to iso though. So what are your thoughts on this development?

I'm also thinking (cause of new hosting for tank soon) that when we use your new tazwok that we should delete $WOK/$PACKAGE/$PACKAGE-$VERSION folder. But will have to added option that can be enabled in receipt called like KEEP_SOURCE="yes". This will be need in since cause some packages get stuff still in source folder.

This is just a thought.

Using a wok-experimental is a good idea.

The goal here is making receipts writing more light and simple (KISS...); About that point, I just discover that pathes setted in configure (--prefix= and that sort of things) can be setted globally in a config.site script.. After some tests it appears to works well; but I found some papers which warning about the facts that it doesn't works with each code source (depending on the version of autoconf used before generating the tarball).

In conclusion for most receipts (theorically) it's possible to have compiles_rules looking like :
compile_rules()
{
       cd $src
       ./configure && make && make install
}

instead of :

compile_rules()
{
       cd $src
       ./configure \
               --prefix=/usr \
               --infodir=/usr/share/info \
               --mandir=/usr/share/man \
               $CONFIGURE_ARGS &&
       make -j 4 && make DESTDIR=$PWD/_pkg install
}

Actually on tested packages it works well. What I'm going to do now is ensure that's fully backward compatible using tweaks like the one Christopher suggest. The general rules is : using global setting only when it's not set in the receipt; else, use current behavior. This way we will have all our time to apply the changes in the wok.
