Cookutils - New tools to cook packages

[Christophe Lincoln <pankso@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

So you may have ready in TazWok/bb thread that I started a new project
called: cookutils

The goal is clear: KISS tools to build packages. The cookutils will
cook packages but will not do the diner for you! You receipt quality is
important.

This project is born because Tazwok as become a huge script that can
rebuild SliTaz from scratch, it's cool, an incredible job have been
done, but Tazwok dont feet most SliTaz developers needs. Also we
struggling for month on our main server Tank to make Tazwok work, but
not inuff people understand the code and can help debug and we still
have bugs. I DONT want to revert changes, Tazwok is now a tool I would
never be able to code since the task is very complex and it have it
place in SliTaz as the: SliTaz from scratch builder.

Now, cookutils is young but can already cook all well done and standard
receipt and is usable for package creation and developement. I wrote a
complet guide who will be part of the default installation (I want an
official guide, Wiki is for complementary doc). The README and the doc:

http://hg.slitaz.org/cookutils/raw-file/tip/README
http://hg.slitaz.org/cookutils/raw-file/tip/doc/cookutils.en.html

I'm aware of many bugs and many things are done each hours so if you
install the cookutils, think to frenqently update your repo to use last
code. Note also that some receipt will never build like they are now,
we will fix them when cookutils will be running on Tank.

A preview of the web interface with a build failed example (the goal
is to get debug info easily):

http://people.slitaz.org/~pankso/cgi-bin/cooker.cgi?pkg=foomatic-db-engine

Tu use the cookutils:

$ hg clone http://hg.slitaz.org/cookutils
$ cd cookutils
$ make install

Folow the guide in doc/cookutils.en.html
