Splitting grml-scripts into grml-scripts and grml-scripts-core
by Sebastian Boehm 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hi, Recently I talked to some colleagues of mine about having a grml-scripts-core package that only contains the grml-scripts needed for grml-etc-core's screen setup. Since this idea seems to have been well received and the split has been mentioned in the minutes of the Grml Developer Meeting 2010, I thought I might as well clean up the packages I have been using for some time now and see if they can save you some work: https://github.com/sometimesfood/grml-scripts/tree/split/grml-scripts https://github.com/sometimesfood/grml-scripts/tree/split/grml-scripts-core (Obviously these should be pulled into two separate repositories, I just found the branching more comfortable until the package split is complete.) Programs I chose for inclusion in grml-scripts-core: - cpu-screen and cpu-screen.sh (used by grml-etc-core) - ip-screen (used by grml-etc-core) - lesspipe.sh (much more versatile than Debian's lesspipe(1)) - code2color (used by lesspipe.sh) - grml-screen (nice addition to grml-etc-core) I mostly tried to keep my changes to the bare minimum necessary for a proper split, if I missed something, just let me know. Things I did: - move programs - fix debian/rules, Makefiles, lintian overrides etc. - fix manpages - add package descriptions - add depends/breaks to debian/control as recommended by the Debian policy manual The resulting packages pass lintian without warnings. If you have any questions, just drop me a line and I'll be happy to help. Best regards Sebastian
