The sysconftool package is only needed when building Courier packages
from the git repository. Assembled tarballs already include the sysconftool
script.
rpm and deb packages
====================
These are not the same packages as the ones from various distributions'
repositories. These packages carry an higher internal revision level in
order to prevent them from getting upgraded by the distribution packaging.
This packaging exists in order to have a convenient way of updating after
a release without waiting for the distribution's package to get built.
NOTE: If a distribution package is already installed it should be removed
completely before switching to the upstream version (dnf remove or apt
purge).
NOTE: These packages use their own, generic, installation layout that may
deviate slightly from the package installation conventions preferred by
the distributions.
rpm
===
It is not necessary to unpack this tarball in order to build this tarball.
Run "dnf install rpm-build", if it's not installed already, then:
$ rpmbuild -ta sysconftool-VERSION.tar.bz2
If this fails due to any missing dependencies, install them.
This creates rpms that can be installed with 'rpm -U'.
deb
===
Run "apt install devscripts debhelper", if it's not installed already, then:
Create an empty directory, and copy/move the tarball into it:
$ mkdir tmp
$ cp sysconftool-VERSION.tar.bz2 tmp/sysconftool-VERSION.orig.tar.bz2
$ cd tmp
Unpack the tarball and cd into the unpacked subdirectory:
$ tar xvf sysconftool-VERSION.tar.bz2
$ cd sysconftool-VERSION
Run the courier-debuild script. Its parameters get forwarded to debuild.
$ ./courier-debuild -us -uc
NOTE: the above sequence must be followed strictly. The courier-debuild
script expects the distributed tarball in its parent directory.
The deb subdirectory now contains a deb package that can be installed with
"dpkg -i".
Maintainer Mode (see README in the git repository to set up)
make rpm or make deb, as appropriate, will:
1. Increment an internal release number.
2. Run make dist.
3. Proceed and build a new release, creating the native packages in the
rpm or deb subdirectory.
4. Execute either $HOME/bin/rpmrepos.sh or $HOME/bin/debrepos.sh. This
can be a script that does nothing, or it's intended to be the
maintainer's script that pushes out the packages to a repository.
Manual installation
===================
This package uses the GNU toolchain, and uses the typical installation
sequence:
./configure [option]
make
make install
