- Forgot one more thing. In the next release of SLS, the "/install/dosinst.sh"
- script will be treated differently.
-
- 1) upon installation, it will be invoked with NO arguments.
- 2) when removing a package, it will be invoked with the -remove arg.
- 3) when extracting a package, it will be invoked with the -extract arg.
-
- Step 1) is unchanged from .96c.
- Step 2) is allows attempts to allow restoration of files that would be overwritten.
- Step 3) is useful only for those doing package development, as it allows
- them to "take a snapshot" of a package "in situ".
-
- After installation, sysinstall will move the file "/install/doinst.sh" to
- "/install/scripts/" replacing "doinst.sh" with the package name. This allows
- extraction of the package later, while preserving the script.
