Basic documentation

Basic documentation of swpkg tools is found in manual pages. Please refer to the latest version as the following are provided for convenience and may slightly be out of date:

swln: The main component of swpkg used to create/delete links.
swbuild: Convenient script to normalize the build environment.
swdirs: Many packages don't handle well having to be installed in non existant directories. This useful tool will create standard directories for you.
swconf: Tool automating handling of package dependencies based on previous installations.
swrecord: Simple script to record package build and installation information.
swperms: Simple script that checks for problematic permissions.
swshrink: Useful script to help in handling "*-config" type scripts.
swinstall: Front end to other swpkg tools to finish package installations.
swlibs: Tool recording libraries provided by installed software packages.
swdeps: Tool automating detection of package dependencies based on the package source.
swinfo: Simple script to maintain info/dir files.
swchk: Tool to maintain source and target directories.
swreport: Inter package dependency reporting tool.

Step by step guide

The following describes how the swpkg tools fit together and provides a step by step guide to installing software using them. The swbuild manual page contains a summary of all this.

Source the appropriate swbuild file to clean up your environment.
Run swdirs to create the basic directory structure for the software you are about to install. This is the "base install directory". (This is optionally done by swbuild.)
Read the instructions that come with the software on how to build it, and follow them. This is the most crucial step:
- Instruct the software on where it will be installed.
- Required packages should be added to the directory where the software will be installed using swln.
- Optionally used packages should also be added to the directory where the software will be installed using swln. The difficult part here is to correctly identify such packages as being necessary.
- Some packages may only be needed to build the software. In such cases you may need to add directories found below the base install directory to the PATH, or as compiler options (in particular -I and -L).
- Dependencies on shared libraries should be treated with care. In particular, these will typically require to use the -R compiler flag to include the necessary directories (under the base install directory).
The above can be tricky, and requires scrutiny and attention.
- configure scripts: In particular, when running configure type scripts which can look for anything, and make decisions based on what they find and don't find. These days, few software distributions list the packages needed, whether optional or required.
- imake: Some (especially old) X11 packages still make use of imake with an Imakefile. These can be very painful as they typically provide very little flexibility and your system configuration may easily fall out of date. When invoking make on the generated Makefile, it make be useful to specify the following variables on the command line: "DESTDIR=$swprefix BINDIR=/bin INCDIR=/include LIBDIR=/lib SHLIBDIR=/lib MANPATH=/man XAPPLOADDIR=/lib/app-defaults".
Read the instructions that come with the software on how to install it, and follow them. In most cases, this should not be done as root. There are exceptions, as some software requires special privileges and the provided installation scripts may fail if they are not run as root.
At this point, you may either run swinstall or the following three steps manually.
Run swdirs again to remove unused directories created above.
Run swrecord to record some information about the build and installation.
Run swperms to check that all permissions seem fine, and that the owner of the files below the base installation directory can safely be changed. If swperms reports problematic permissions, you may need to reinstall the software as root. Deal with such situations on a case by case basis as they arise.
Run chown as recommended by swperms.
Optionally test the software.
Inspect the installed files and create a package specific .swrc file if needed.
Run swln to create the necessary links under the target directory.

Migration guide

If you're lucky, you're building a collection of software packages from scratch, and have no existing base of installed software in /usr/local (or elsewhere). If this is the case, you can pretty much stop reading this already. On the other hand, if you live in the real world, you probably aren't that lucky and the following will help you.

It is important to realize that successfully migrating an environment to one setup using the swpkg philosophy and tools is no simple or quick task. For most people it will be a large project requiring a significant deal of effort and dedication. However, it is well worth it, and isn't one of these impossible to achieve goals. There are (at least) two ways you can go about it:

If you can get significant resources allocated for this, then you can be fairly aggressive. Follow the guidelines below, come up with a plan and go for it. You can probably get 90% done fairly quickly and tackle the most tricky parts last. How long and painful this will be really depends on how chaotic your current environment is.
If you have no real resources for this, then what you need above everything else is a champion dedicated to making this happen. Someone with a good understanding of the philosophy who will pull everyone else in the right direction.
- First and foremost, document what you are trying to do and present it to relevant group.
- Get approval or consensus on doing it, whichever is relevant to your environment. Make a new rule or policy saying that any new software installation MUST follow the new way.
- Pick a few packages to upgrade (or even reinstall) so that people have examples to look at.
- Let time be your ally. Most of the software that is really used will get upgraded soon or later.

No matter where your installed software resides, you should carefully consider where your target directory will be. While /usr/local is the default set for the swpkg tools, it is easy to override. And avoiding /usr/local is a good thing to prevent (too) smart "configure" type scripts from finding binaries, libraries are other dependencies in there. Be sure to read this section of the swpkg philosophy before making your decision.

Whether your target directory will be the same as where your existing software is or not brings two different approaches. Both are doable, although the former quite preferrable. However, in both cases, you will probably need to inventory (and identify) the already installed software packages. (This can be a daunting tasks as random files are often not easy to attribute to a software. Enlist the help of a senior UNIX admin if you have trouble with this.) This is the best way to get to have an idea of what you will need to install. It is also a good opportunity to decide on what you probably don't want to reinstall for things that are no longer used.

The rest of this only applies to the case where you use the same target directory.

By default, swln will NOT replace any file in order to create a link for a package. This is something that you will need to do as you reinstall existing software. Such behaviour is easy to override by using the -I flag to swln, and in most cases, you'll be fine. Things can of course break as other installed programs may depend on what you're just blowing away (and especially files that don't get linked in the target directory), but this is pretty much the same as if you were simply installing the new version the old fashioned way, directly in the target directory.

As time goes by, you have more and more links in your target directory, and less and less real files. However, unless you are a god, you probably will never be able to get rid of all such files simply by reinstalling packages. At some point, you will want to audit such remaining files, and blow them away as the final step (once you get over the likely surprises you will uncover during the audit).

Example: installing wget

Here is a practical example showing how to install "wget". This example pre-dates version 0.3 of the swpkg tools suite, and therefore does not show many of the improvements found in current releases. In particular, swbuild was still (somewhat) primitive, while swinstall did not even exist yet. However, everything found below still applies and is a good detailed example to look at when learning the intricacies of using swpkg tools.

$ ls -l /usr/local/pkgs/wget-1.7

The above shows that configure looked for the gettext library as well as perl (and in particular pod2man) and didn't find them. The former is needed for NLS (Native Language Support), and the latter to (produce and install) manual pages (as indicated by the Makefile and ChangeLog). This system doesn't have perl, but has gettext installed, and NLS is desired.

So we use swln to add the dependency:

$ /usr/local/bin/swln -vvv -T wget-1.7 gettext-0.10.40
-- scanning package gettext-0.10.40...
.s /usr/local/pkgs/wget-1.7/include/libintl.h: linked [gettext-0.10.40]

-- gettext-0.10.40: 7 link(s), 0 missed, 0 warning(s), 0 error(s)
-- 1 package added
$

And we start over. Notice the additional settings for configure:

Once the software is successfully built and installed, it is now just a matter of cleaning up and putting the finishing touches:

$ swrecord wget-1.7
Recording information about package "wget-1.7" in .swrecord
$ swperms wget-1.7
Looking for bad (as in problematic) permissions:


If there was any output above,
        then you MOST certainly have to fix permissions by hand.
        (it is possible that this package needs to be installed as root.)

If not, then you should run the following as root:
        chown -hR 0:0 /usr/local/pkgs/wget-1.7

# chown -hR 0:0 /usr/local/pkgs/wget-1.7
# swln -vv wget-1.7

In summary, here is how things look like once wget has been installed with a dependency on gettext:

$ swln -T wget-1.7 -i
gettext-0.10.40
$ ldd /usr/local/pkgs/wget-1.7/bin/wget 
/usr/local/pkgs/wget-1.7/bin/wget:
	-lintl.1 => /usr/local/pkgs/wget-1.7/lib/libintl.so.1
	-lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.12
$ ls -l /usr/local/pkgs/wget-1.7/lib/libintl.so.1
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  48 Oct 29 19:43 /usr/local/pkgs/wget-1.7/lib/libintl.so.1 -> /usr/local/pkgs/gettext-0.10.40/lib/libintl.so.1
$ cat /usr/local/pkgs/gettext-0.10.40/.swrc
