  • install/GNUmakefile

    From rswindell to CVS commit on Thursday, May 07, 2020 15:17:44
    install GNUmakefile 1.78 1.79
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/install
    In directory cvs:/home/rswindell/sbbs/install

    Modified Files:
    GNUmakefile
    Log Message:
    Don't specify a sticky revision of HEAD by default. This has become a FAQ
    for sysops and a pain. Specifying "-r HEAD" does not actually pin the files
    to the latest, but rather pings them to the latest rev *at that time*, which makes subsequent cvs-updates a pain.

    Log Message:
    Migrated from CVS to Git

    Clones the git repo into $(SBBSIDR)/git building everything there and then copying the run-time dirs (e.g. ctrl, exec, text, xtrn, web) to the
    $(SBBSDIR). This means a sysop cannot simply "git-update" (there is no
    such thing) the exec or xtrn dirs as someone might have done previously with CVS. Update instructions on the wiki will be forthcoming.

    Removed the NOCVS option (if the workdir already exists, no clone occurs). Changed CVSTAG to just TAG. It does not create a local branch for the checked-out tag (perhasp it should).
    Removed the INSTALL type (only CLASSIC was installed anyway), that should
    be easy to restore if/when UNIX-style install is ever implemented.

    Install webv4 too and use symlinks for most directories.

    The webv4 directory is now part of the repo, so install it to the
    install target directory too.

    When SYMLINK=1 is used, symlink the following directories (rather
    than copying): docs, exec, text, web, webv4, and xtrn. This will
    hopefully make subsequenit updating (via git) easier for most sysops that use this installation method. Let the merge conflicts insue.

    This can be used to defeat the automatic inclusion of the sbbs3

    issue #175.

    to 'make -C src/sbbs3' by default (on Linux) due to a misplaced paren.

    Make the default SETCAP value to be /sbin/setcap

    <Dan_C> DigitalMan: minor install issue noted today - during a fresh (Linux) install on a test box, the build failed because it was unable to execute the "sudo setcap ..." command. This was on Slackware 15.0, where the setcap executable is located in /sbin , and that directory is not in the $PATH of a normal user, or even when a normal user uses the 'sudo' command.

    Also include SETCAP in the set of documented make variables.

    'chown' resets Linux capabilities (e.g. cap_net_bind_service=ep), so these calls reset the earlier bind-capabilities enablement, meaning the auto-setup feature on Linux-install really never worked?
