./pkgtools/gimme, Script to make binary packages in a chroot

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 20170213, Package name: gimme-20170213, Maintainer: agc

Sometimes, there's a need to just build a package without any of the
installed pre-requisites being used. Or building a one-off package
which can then be used elsewhere.

This package helps to produce other binary packages, using pkg_comp to
build them in a chroot. The chroot is populated either by cloning the
current operating system, or by using pre-existing binary sets. As an
example:

# gimme -c vip

will clone the current operating system on this host, and use it to
make a chroot in which the sysutils/vip package will be built.

Similarly, to build packages and all their pre-requisites afresh,
something like

# gimme -c mercurial git-base

would be used.

Log message:
all: migrate several HOMEPAGEs to https

pkglint --only "https instead of http" -r -F

With manual adjustments afterwards since pkglint 19.4.4 fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines.

This mainly affects projects hosted at SourceForce, as well as
freedesktop.org, CTAN and GNU.
