EMDEBIAN-TOOLS README
=====================
SVN-BUILDPACKAGE
----------------
The generated manpages have been removed from SVN but are
needed for the package, ensure ./genmanpages is run before
trying to run svn-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot
BASH_COMPLETION
---------------
This has been investigated and the problems should now be
fixed. Scripts are included for emdebian-tools and emdebian-rootfs.
DEBOOTSTRAP && PKGDETAILS
-------------------------
pkgdetails.c is part of the debootstrap source which is now included
in the package because the original has been migrated to a udeb.
The C file is copied from the package then compiled using the Emdebian
toolchain installed by emsetup to create a compatible binary that
debootstrap uses during the second stage install to parse the package
control data.
Note: emsandbox is migrating to a non-debootstrap method for unpacking
packages and running the maintainer scripts on the device to save
workload on the device itself. In this mode, pkgdetails.c is neither
compiled nor copied into the root filesystem tarball.
MANPAGE CONTENT
---------------
The manpage documentation for emdebian-tools is quite extensive and
alternative formats are available for easier reading:
From Emdebian SVN, yelp can provide much nicer formatting:
$ yelp ghelp:/$PWD/emdebian-tools.1.xml
Via the WWW (basic docbook formatting):
