> > <---- Begin Attached File ----> > begin 644 PKG_ADD.TXT This is really the wrong way to submit a question - I had to decode it just to read it, and I daresay most others on this list just whapped "delete" rather than go to all the extra trouble. If I'd have been any busier at the moment I probably would have done the same.. :-) Anyway, here's the script you asked for.. Jordan #! /bin/sh # # Script dpa # URL = ftp://pm.cse.rmit.edu.au/ftp/pub/FreeBSD/misc/dpa # # The current pkg_add command cannot process packages in files that have # incorrect names e.g. packages that are being read off a DOS file system # where a shortened name is required. Shell script dpa (Dos Package Add) # figures out the real name of a package so it can be temporarily copied # across to $DEST (with its original name) and have pkg_add run on it. # # The user is prompted to have all packages available in the source # directory installed. # # Parameter 1 is taken as the directory holding the 8+3 named packages, # otherwise we look for a directory named /dos/packages or /dosc/packages # or /dosd/packages, # otherwise we ask where the hell these packages are supposed to be. # # Note: if you had chosen to mount a dos partition as /dos during the # installation, and used the DOS batch file fbsdmove.bat to copy some # initial packages into area \PACKAGES on the DOS disk, then this # script will figure out where your packages are hiding. # # Use: dpa (assumes packages in /dos/packages etc.) # dpa SRCDIR # # phillip@rmit.edu.au 1v0 15-feb-1996 DEST=/root # if a /home is present, we store temporary package copies there # (we assume that a large file system is available at /home) if [ -d /home ] ; then if [ ! -d /home/tmp ] ; then mkdir /home/tmp fi export PKG_TMPDIR=/home/tmp # pkg_add needs lots of space sometimes DEST=$PKG_TMPDIR fi ########################################################################### # take parameter 1 as the source directory containing the packages if [ "x$1" != x ] ; then SRC=$1 # otherwise, attempt to guess where the DOS file system is that contains # the FreeBSD packages else SRC= echo if [ x$SRC = x -a -d /dos/packages/all ] ; then SRC=/dos/packages/all fi if [ x$SRC = x -a -d /dosc/packages/all ] ; then SRC=/dosc/packages/all fi if [ x$SRC = x -a -d /dosd/packages/all ] ; then SRC=/dosd/packages/all fi # otherwise we just ask where the FreeBSD packages are if [ "x$SRC" = x ] ; then echo "Please enter the directory where the packages are kept" read x if [ -d $x ] ; then SRC=$x else echo That does not seem to be a directory... exit fi fi fi echo "Using packages in $SRC" ########################################################################### # Procedure: # # a) examine each file to see if it is a gzip compressed file # b) if it is, we assume it is a .tgz package file and extract the +CONTENTS # file in which a line commencing with the string "@name" is used to give # us the original package's name # c) the user is then prompted to see if this package should be copied and # installed. cd $SRC for x in * ; do if [ -n "`file $x | grep gzip`" ] ; then # non-empty string --> GZIP data echo y=`tar xzOf $x +CONTENTS | grep @name | cut -d' ' -f2`.tgz # get real name echo "File $x is really $y; install (n/y)?
