SPITE - Simple Packager And Installer for Tcl Extensions Directions to find it at [Stu] README: SPITE is a utility to package Tcl scripts and other text files for easy distribution and installation. SPITE is designed mainly for unix systems. SPITE takes a list of files and puts them and the installer code in to a shell script. This shell script may then be used to install the extension. The idea behind SPITE is to provide a simple way to distribute mostly non-binary Tcl extensions consisting of a handful of text files. Textual input files must terminate with a newline or SPITE will break. When installing files of type 'tclscript', the installer will pass the file through sed with one or both of the following regexps: "1,5s/exec .*tclsh[^ ]*/exec ${TCLSH}/g" "1,5s/exec .*wish[^ ]*/exec ${WISH}/g" This requires sed and mktemp on the target system. Checksumming may me disabled during install with --sum "" Useage: spite [-f configfile] Will write to stdout a .spite installer file based on the configuration in configfile. BUGS For directories, ownership is changed only for the last dir in a path.
