About
=====
opkbuild is a distribution build system -- a set of tools for building
software packages. From source packages it builds binary packages for
use with the opkg package manager.
Currently one format of source package is supported by opkbuild:
ProteanOS Source Package Format 2.0:
http://specs.proteanos.com/spf-2.0/
opkbuild is similar in function to the development library and utilities
of dpkg, the Debian package manager:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/dpkg-dev
https://packages.debian.org/sid/libdpkg-perl
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/

NEWS for Version 4.2.0
======================
The major new features in this version are the utilization of package
archive sections and the architecture qualification of the names of
coinstallable packages, both necessary for multiarch (and therefore
cross building) in ProteanOS.
Utilities:
* ob-buildopk now correctly checks for the BusyBox tar reverse
ordering bug.
* ob-gencontrol now generates a "Format" field to indicate the source
package format version.
* ob-gencontrol now generates a "Section" field when defined for a
binary package.
* ob-genchanges now organizes source packages into section "src"
instead of "base".
* ob-genchanges now organizes binary packages into sections specified
by "Section" field when present.
* Names of packages in certain sections ("lib" on ProteanOS) are now
qualified with their host architectures (in the form
"<pkg>:<arch>"):
- ob-installdocs qualifies names in package documentation
directories.
- ob-gencontrol qualifies names in "Package" fields.
- ob-buildopk and ob-genchanges qualify names in "*.opk" file names.
* ob-buildopk no longer sets the owner and group of all data files to
0:0, as done since version 4.1.0. This is not expected to change
file owners or groups in any ProteanOS packages at this time,
because:
- oh-fixperms (used in most packages) also sets owners and groups
- "build" makefile "install" targets are run with (fake) superuser
privileges.
* opkbuild now runs the "build" makefile's "install" target and all
ob-* commands under the same (fake) superuser environment. This was
the behavior in versions 3.0.0-alpha1 through 3.0.0-beta7. Since
version 4.0.0, commands were run in separate (fake) superuser
environments, which may not preserve superuser ownership of files.
* Source package names are now prefixed with "src:" instead of "src-".
pro-archman has supported this in its package name hashing since
version 2.0.0.
* With ob_get_binary_packages() becoming always pure (see below), all
utilities now scan the file system for binary packages only once.
libopkbuild:
* ob_get_source_parameter() now supports a "Format" field to get the
source package formate version.
* An optional "Section" control field has been added to source package
format 2.x.
* The modification time in manual pages is now parsed and formatted
correctly.
* New functions ob_validate_section() and ob_qualify_package_name()
have been added.
* ob_get_binary_packages() is now always pure (without side effects
that would preclude use in a subshell environment). Side effects
have been factored out into a new internal function called by
ob_init_package().
