[SOLVED] src2pkg question

charlie_lab · 06-27-2010, 03:20 AM

Hello,

When I do slackpkg -N package I get a build script.
I can change that so It will do what I want.

But what can I do so slackpkg makes a slackware package and uses the adapted build script ?

Are you sure? Slackpkg doesn't have a -N option on my machine here is the output of slackpkg help

(such as n,ap,xap,etc) when searching for packages.

Just realised that you mean src2pkg. Sorry I don't have that installed but the package creator "gnashley" is often on this forum.

I guess, the question mark means ? src2pkg ?

' src2pkg -N ' is supposed to :
""Generate a starting src2pkg script and description file only.""
( from 'man src2pkg' ).

Hello,

I found it.

I can do it with src2pkg -X in the current directory will do it.
