A generator for the install.sh script commonly used to install Rust in Unix environments. It is used By Rust, Cargo, and is intended to be used by a future combined installer of Rust Cargo.
./gen-installer.sh --product-name=Rust \
--rel-manifest-dir=rustlib \
--success-message=Rust-is-ready-to-roll. \
--image-dir=./install-image \
--work-dir=./temp \
--output-dir=./dist \
--non-installed-overlay=./overlay \
--package-name=rustc-nightly-i686-apple-darwin \
--component-name=rustc \
--legacy-manifest-dirs=rustlib \
--bulk-dirs=share/doc
Or, to just generate the script.
./gen-install-script.sh --product-name=Rust \
--rel-manifest-dir=rustlib \
--success-message=Rust-is-ready-to-roll. \
--output-script=install.sh \
--legacy-manifest-dirs=rustlib
Note: the dashes in success-message are converted to spaces. The
script's argument handling is broken with spaces.
To combine installers.
./combine-installers.sh --product-name=Rust \
--rel-manifest-dir=rustlib \
--success-message=Rust-is-ready-to-roll. \
--work-dir=./temp \
--output-dir=./dist \
--non-installed-overlay=./overlay \
--package-name=rustc-nightly-i686-apple-darwin \
--legacy-manifest-dirs=rustlib \
--input-tarballs=./rustc.tar.gz,cargo.tar.gz
- Make install.sh not have to be customized, pull it's data from a config file.
- Be more resiliant to installation failures, particularly if the disk is full.
- Pre-install and post-uninstall scripts.
- Allow components to depend on or contradict other components.
- Sanity check that expected destination dirs (bin, lib, share exist)?
- Add --docdir flag. Is there a standard name for this?
- Remove empty directories on uninstall.
- Detect mismatches in --prefix, --mandir, etc. in follow-on installs/uninstalls.
- Fix argument handling for spaces.
- Add --bindir.
