[Slackbuilds-users] Testing + some useful shell scripts

[David Woodfall]

On (14/11/13 08:17), Dave Woodfall <dave at dawoodfall.net> put forth the proposition:
>I found that with so many items in CHECKLIST it would be useful to put
>together some kind of system, with the help of shell scripts where
>possible. Doing it this way will require a certain amount of disk space
>available. I tend to work in a chroot on a partition with ~ 100G free
>and can keep all the libraries and other deps installed for a while.
>
>I hope the following is useful. This is how I've been testing. I tend to
>set MAKEFLAGS=-j10 since I have four cores to play with.
>
>The scripts depend on directory structure to work out the category
>being tested.
>
>I make a top level dir, 'slackbuilds.org', and place the scripts in it.
>They will be called from subdirectories named after the category being
>tested - audio, desktop etc.
>
>I wget the CHECKLIST file to the top dir.
>
>I then create the subdirectory for the category being tested - I'll use
>audio for this example.
>
>I cd into audio and copy/paste the audio section from the
>CHECKLIST file into a file named after the category with the
>extension .lst - ie: audio.lst
>
>The first script mksqf.sh converts that into a sbopkg queue by stripping

>audio subdir: ../mksqf.sh
>
>That will create the sbopkg queue to be copied to /var/lib/sbopkg/queues

>
>Sbopkg is fired up, given a sync, the queue loaded and run. Now comes

A slightly different way of doing it and new scripts:

getdeps.sh:
Recursively read apps from the .lst file and create two files:

A queue file for ALL the apps AND dependencies and copies it to the
sbopkg queue directory.

A $CATEGORY.deps file which lists only the dendencies for info.


After loading and running in sbopkg as before we can check for which
installed correctly:

built.sh:
Checks installed and creates $CATEGORY.built and $CATEGORY.failed
files for info.

built-deps.sh:
Checks installed deps anc creates $CATEGORY-deps.built and
$Category-deps.failed

That should give enough info to add notes on why things failed.
