Re: Post-install script execution in a package

Hi all,

Sorry to bother you, but I'm stuck.

I have been trying to make a customized package with a post-install
script but I can't find out how to do it. ( Openbsd 3.8 ).

Upgrade. Really.

I am using an existing port where I customized the Makefile to change
some configuration options , then execute "make package".

Using the target post-install in the Makefile seems only to be
executed when I do the "make install" in the port directory.

Is there a way to make post-install scripts executed at the
installation of a package ?
I tried to untar existing packages with post-install in their port's
Makefile but can't find any trace of a post-install script.

It's usually a better idea to use pkg/MESSAGE, anyway. But if you
*really* want to do, it's probably best to look at a port that already
does it and copy that behaviour. Postfix is an obvious example.

Do note that you'll want to use @exec/@unexec in pkg/PLIST instead of
obsolote stuff that will break as soon as you upgrade your system to a
modern version (i.e. pkg/INSTALL, which will no longer work in 4.2, see
ports/mail/postfix/snapshots/Makefile r1.170). Postfix uses this in
-current; look at
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/mail/postfix/snapshot/ for
details.
