Description

The Installsscript is a tool that the handles the conventional installation steps with a collection of scripts.

Prerequirements

  • Development environment

Manual

Tutorial

First of all

  • Linux knowledge is required
  • It is useful to have experiences in compiling VDR and it's component manually

Scripts customisation

Decompression 

sh vdr-install-script-<VERSION>.run --noexec --target /tmp/VDRtmp
cd /tmp/VDRtmp/setup

It is useful to customise the following configuration file to his own needs

e.g. with the mcedit editor 

mcedit config/setup.conf

In ../config/plugins befinden sich die Einstellungen der Plugins, als bsp das audiocd-plugin. ../config/plugins/audiocd.conf 

## Description:
#
# -d DEV --device=DEV set device (default: /dev/cdrom)
#
##
-d /dev/cdrom

Options are prefaced with ^-, after selection it goes into the plugin_setup.conf, see pluginsetup-plugin, the same for Description. 

## Description: AudioCD Plugin
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                Würde später im Menu des Plugins (pluginsetup) stehen, ansonnsten <NAME>

Most of the options can be delivered through the commandline, independently from setup.conf 

./setup.sh --help
./vdr-install-script-<VERSION>.run -- --help

Backup

In order that the setting are not lost at updates, everything should be backuped.

Execute 

./setup.sh

and go to 

<-> - Configuration
    | - Load an Alternate Configuration File --->
    | - Save Configuration to an Alternate File --->
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To save the settings somewhere else, e.g. /media/floppy/.config (ca. 80KB).

After an update, these setting can be loaded through 

<-> - Configuration
    | - Load an Alternate Configuration File --->
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Another possibility is the backup of the complete script with 

./setup.sh --buildrunpackage
     Label (default "vdr-install-script-<VERSION>.run"):

Gesichert wird, was in ../setup/SAFE definiert wurde. 

#
# FILE(s) only txt files!
#
../setup/config/add.conf
#
# DIRECTORY(ies) maxdepth 1, only txt files!
#
../setup/config/plugins

Wer möchte kann auch Files "außerhalb" der Scripts sichern, einfach eintragen. 

#
# FILE(s) only txt files!
#
/etc/lircrc.conf

Scripts

Available modules

This is an index of the available modules. Everything below ./add can be upgraded.

Modules in the ../untestet directory must to be customised!

  • One modules requires kernel 2.6 (actuator.cmd)
  • Some modules are still in beta status
  • Other have missing links

Stow(ES)

GNU stow helps to organise the files under /usr/local, by installing every software under his own directory tree under /usr/local/stow. And then, symbol links create the illusion, every software is installed in the same place.

Here are some of the most important commands

  • help 
/usr/local/stow/stowES help --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow
  • checkstow (cs) 
/usr/local/stow/stowES cs --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow
Checking packages in /usr/local/stow (78 matches):
I (  772.5) DFB++-0.9.20
I (  1,385) DirectFB-0.9.20
I (19223.5) ImageMagick-6.0.2
I ( 10,085) MPlayer-1.0pre4
....
  • checkin (ci) 
/usr/local/stow/stowES ci MPlayer-1.0pre4 --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow
Calling "stow" to check in package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done.
Calling ldconfig
  • ceckout (co) 
/usr/local/stow/stowES co MPlayer-1.0pre4 --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow
Calling "stow -D" to check out package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done.
Calling ldconfig.
  • remove (rm) 
/usr/local/stow/stowES rm MPlayer-1.0pre4 --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow
Calling "stow -D" to check out package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done.
Calling "rm -rf" to remove package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done.
Calling ldconfig.
  • exchange 
/usr/local/stow/stowES exchange MPlayer-1.0pre4 MPlayer-1.0pre5 --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow
Calling "stow -D" to check out package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done.
Calling "stow" to check in package MPlayer-1.0pre5 ...done.
Calling ldconfig.

To be continued...
