'''This page is a rough draft, do not rely on it'''
This is a sample layout which you must use if you are contributing a custom script. Note that this layout is roughly the same as used in BLFS, however because the page will be imported in LFScript through [[ScriptFactory]] it is important that you follow the style set here '''exactly'''.
If your software does not use the '''Pre-installation''', '''Post-installation''' or '''DESTDIR''' sections, you can leave them out. All other sections are mandatory.
If for any reason, your page causes problems with ScriptFactory, it will not be included in LFScript.
Finally, be sure to adapt and include the next line at the top of your page:


<scriptname>my-software</scriptname>
<scriptname>my-software</scriptname>

== Pre-installation ==
== Pre-installation ==
If your software requires any pre-installation (like adding special users or groups), you must specify it here.
<preinst>useradd -m sampleUser</preinst>
<preinst>useradd -m sampleUser</preinst>


== Installation ==
== Installation ==
If the software must be patched, explain here why.
<compile>patch -Np1 < ../sourcecode-1.0_fix.patch</compile>
<compile>patch -Np1 < ../sourcecode-1.0_fix.patch</compile>
Compile the software:


<compile>./configure --prefix=/usr &&
<compile>./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make</compile>
make</compile>
Then, as the '''root''' user:


<install>make install</install>
<install>make install</install>
Note that the code block above does not have a <code>DESTDIR=${FAKEROOT}</code> directive. [[ScriptFactory]] will add these automatically if a <code>pre</code> block has <code>class="asRoot"</code>.

Line 49: Line 30:


== Post-installation ==
== Post-installation ==
This section must contain commands which will modify the software after it has been installed, or modify files installed by a different package. It should also contain those commands that configure the package for use on that specific machine.
<delaypostinst/><postinst>update-desktop-database</postinst>
 
<delaypostinst/>
 
For example:
 
<postinst>update-desktop-database</postinst>
 
If you add <code>class="delayPostinst"</code> to any code block in this section, all post-installation commands will be delayed until all software has been installed.
