It lastet so long, because of personal time constraints and based
on the fact, that I had to do the very time consuming task, to
revamp the whole big brother installation heavily.
This could be avoided, if Sean could provide a Makefile with a real
install: target and not the drainbamaged
"unpack, compile and let the whole sh**^H^H^H^Hbunch
remain here(tm)" philosophy."
(me lucky one, that apsfilter has changed about 1-2 years ago ;-)
- make install target now copies the workdir to ${PREFIX}/bb
and then moves or removes files and directories as needed
- revamped client configuration and introduced a
${PREFIX}/share/bb/bbclients
directory.
Hope you like it this way ;-)
- Please note, that a Windows NT client (v1.02) is also available !!!
- Make port web server independent, you have to decide, which one
to choose from the ports collection
- made port PREFIX clean
- every patch adds !!PREFIX!! and !!HOSTNAME!! hooks
the configure script uses perl, to substitute it with actual
PREFIX and hostname
- Revamped the make install target completely using .for .endfor loops
- Created a private download subdir via http because the author doesn't
provide a version number in source archive.
- docu now will be installed in /usr/share/doc
- updated PLIST
- tested packaging and installed successfully from a package
- install runbb.sh directly in the usual place (/usr/local/etc/rc.d)
This package runs really fine now, no problems anymore, the system
status of my -current machine is being displayed very well on the
webpage http://localhost/bb
removed not needed #NO_CDROM= entry
install forgotten bbnet and sendmsg script/prg
updated PLIST
added bb.sh script to FILESDIR
install bb.sh script from FILESDIR to ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d
add dirrm statements in PLIST
remove bb symlink in www/data after the last dir. has been removed
added $Id$ in configure script
add post-install script, that inserts the correct local-path (PREFIX)
- make a symlink to $PREFIX/bb/www instead from there to cgi-bin, so
that apache server finds the script outside the document root.
- updated PLIST.
- provide better environment for ,paging' in script (BBHOME, ...)
the start script.
Added a needed tmp dir ($PREFIX/bb/tmp), otherwise bb refuses to start.
Updated PLIST.
symlinked page.sh cgi script to $PREFIX/www/cgi-bin
a) The link created in /usr/local/www to the bb is relative, so it
does not work if the ${PREFIX}/www is itself a symlink. Fixed that
by using full paths.
b) Added a symlink bb/index.html to bb/bb.html so that the URL can
just be http://hostname/bb
c) Added 3 files (two of them were very important) to PLIST which
were missing (bb.html, bb2.html and the new index.html). So I think
nobody tried to install bb from a package since now.
