Build Status

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.

Usage

./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

Future work

  • 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.
