Run Scripts

These are single file scripts that will install the neccessary packages for the user allowing a sipler installation process.

Currently run scripts exist for FC5 and ubuntu.

FC5

The FC5 runscript is actually a makeself script. Makeself takes an arbitrary collection of binary data and a script file to be called to perform the installation. It then compresses these files into a form suitable for inserting into a .sh file, and adds a small script at the front to uncompress and run the install script.

To build it, do this:

• get a copy of makeself
• get the RPMs and install script
  • either check here; or
  • get hold of an old runscript
    • extract the install script: sh <runscript> --tar -xf installer.sh
• place the RPMs you want installed into a directory e.g. jahplayer-0.2.2
• place the installer script file in this directory also
• build:
  • makeself.sh jahplayer-0.2.2/ jahplayer-0.2.2.run "Jah Player 0.2.2 for Fedora Core 5" ./installer.sh

Ubuntu

This is actually a more general script, and as long as the repo is up to date it should work for any version of the product.
