[puppy-devel] Re: SVN for usr_devx.sfs enhancements?

At this point, I think we'll mostly be packaging existing sources, not
editing them.  How do you see SVN or CVS being used in this kind of a
setup?  I'm expecting more of a little database of packages with the URL
to a canonical source code tarball, and the parameters needed to build
it under Puppy, and (later) to package it into "user" and "devel" pieces
if necessary.  Plus various scripts that use this data to grab tarballs
and package them and run tests against the results.  I'm open to other
approaches, though.  We could keep the set of scripts under shared
version 
control -- is that what you had in mind?

In 1.0.7's usr_devx.sfs, curl is broken because of a missing library:

  22:22:40 root@selfhost:~# curl curl: error while loading shared
  libraries: libidn.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file
  or directory 22:22:41 root@selfhost:~#

Can't we automatically produce such a list?  Basically run ldd over
every dynamically linked executable in the distribution, recording the
results, and then sorting by library?  It doesn't sound like something
that should be created by hand, to me.

Try this (lengthy) one-liner:

  for i in `find / -type f -perm +1 |xargs file |grep executable |grep
  Intel |grep dynamic |cut -d : -f1 ` ; do echo $i ; ldd $i ; done

as a starting point.  It's output is listed by executable, not yet by
lib.  It's late, so I'll let someone else post the Perl or awk code to
read this into an assoc array and spit out the info by library -- it's 
probably just another one-liner :-)

Hope this helps,

Jonathan
