TITLE
tools/dev/install_files.pl - Copy files to their correct locations
DESCRIPTION
Use a detailed MANIFEST to install a set of files. The format of the MANIFEST (currently MANIFEST and MANIFEST.generated are used) is:
source_path <whitespace> [package]meta1,meta2,...
or you may optionally specify a different destination path:
source_path <whitespace> [package]meta1,meta2,... <whitespace> destination
Additionally, there may be a * in front of the whole line to designate a generated file:
source_path <whitespace> *[package]meta1,meta2,... <whitespace> destination
The square brackets around package
are literal. package
gives the name of the RPM that the given file will be installed for, and is only used by this script to skip files that are not members of any package.
The various meta flags recognized are:
doc
-
Tag this file with %doc in the RPM, and omit the leading path (because rpm will put it into a directory of its choosing)
include
-
Write this file to the location given by the --includedir option
lib
-
Write this file to the location given by the --libdir option
bin
-
Write this file to the location given by the --bindir option
The optional destination
field provides a general way to change where a file will be written to. It will be applied before any metadata tags.
Example: if this line is in the MANIFEST.detailed file
*[main]bin languages/imcc/imcc imcc
and the --bindir=/usr/parroty/bin, then the generated parrot-<VERSION>-1.<arch>.rpm file will contain the file /usr/parroty/bin/imcc.
