[Slackbuilds-users] system/worker.SlackBuild

[B Kirkpatrick]

Today I downloaded & ran the system/worker script. The first time I ran 
the script, it errored on me, saying that in line 81, 
/tmp/SBo/package-worker/usr/doc/worker- was a directory. I could not get 
"cat $CWD/$PRGNAM.SlackBuild > $PKG/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$PKGVERSION" to work 
in that line. I changed it to "cp $CWD/$PRGNAM.SlackBuild 
$PKG/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$PKGVERSION" & it created a package. However, the 
name of the doc subdir was wrong. It was "/usr/doc/worker-/", instead of 
"/usr/doc/worker-2.13.1/". this was caused by the use of the $PKGVERSION 
variable in lines 50, 77, 80 & 81. The variable PKGVERSION is never 
defined in the script. Changing all instances of $PKGVERSION to $VERSION 
corrected that problem. After I made the above corrections, thus getting 
the script to work, I downloaded the SlackBuild again in order to verify 
results for this email. This time it didn't error in line 81, but 
neither did it put the SlackBuild in the doc subdir. Changing "cat" to 
"cp" & deleting the ">" as above fixed that. I'm surprised that this 
hasn't been caught earlier, this is a three month old script & not too 
shabby a file manager. I think I can get some milage out of it.
Regards,
Bill

Observe the ass, for instance: his character is about perfect, he is the choicest spirit among all the humbler animals, yet see what ridicule has brought him to. Instead of feeling complimented when we are called an ass, we are left in doubt.
