[COPY]

With the [COPY] tag the T2 SDE and probably additional copyright information regarding the sources of this particular package are added. The copyright text is automatically (re-)generated by scripts/Create-CopyPatch from time to time, preferably on each checkin of modified or new files.

The automatically generated text is surrounded by T2-COPYRIGHT-NOTE-BEGIN and T2-COPYRIGHT-NOTE-END - additional lines containing the word 'Copyright' and additional information around these tag stay untouched.

[I] [TITLE]

A short description of the package. Can be given only once.

[T] [TEXT]

A detailed package description. It can be used multiple times to form a long text.

[U] [URL] http://foo.bar/

A URL related to the package, for example the homepage. It can be specified multiple times.

[A] [AUTHOR] Rene Rebe <rene@exactcode.de> {Core Maintainer}

The tag specifies the original author of the package. The <e-mail> and the {description} are both optional. Normally the main author should be listed, but multiple tags are possible. To keep the file readable, not more then four tags should be listed normally. At least one <e-mail> specification should be present to make it easy to send patches upstream.

[M] [MAINTAINER] Rene Rebe <rene@exactcode.de>

Same format as [A] but contains the maintainer of the package.

[C] [CATEGORY] console/administration x11/administration

The categories the package is sorted into. A list of possible categories can be found in the file PKG-CATEGORIES.

[F] [FLAG] DIETLIBC

Special flags to signal special features or build-behavior for the build-system. A list of possible flags can be found in the file PKG-FLAGS.

[R] [ARCH] [ARCHITECTURE] + x86

[R] [ARCH] [ARCHITECTURE] - sparc powerpc

Usually a package is built on all architectures. If you are using [R] with '+' the package will only be built for the given architectures. If you use it with '-' it will be built for all except the specified architectures.

[K] [KERN] [KERNEL] + linux

[K] [KERN] [KERNEL] - minix

Usually a package is built on all kernels. If you are using [K] with '+' the package will only be built for the given kernel. If you use it with '-' it will be built for all except the specified kernels.

[E] [DEP] [DEPENDENCY] group compiler

[E] [DEP] [DEPENDENCY] add x11

[E] [DEP] [DEPENDENCY] del perl

When the keyword 'group' is specified all dependencies to a package in this group (compiler in the example) will get expanded to dependencies to all packages in this group.

The keywords 'add' and 'del' can be used to add or delete a dependency that can not be detected by the build-system automatically. E.g. a font package extracts files into a x11 package's font directories. Since the font package does not use any x11 package's files it does not depend on the package automatically and the dependency must be hard-coded. Use with care and only where it is really, REALLY, necessary.

[L] [LICENSE] GPL

This tag specifies the license of the package. Possible values can be found in misc/share/REGISTER.

[S] [STATUS] Stable

where 'Stable' also can be 'Gamma' (very close to stable), 'Beta' or 'Alpha' (far away from stable).

[V] [VER] [VERSION] 2.3 19991204

Package version and optional revision.

[P] [PRI] [PRIORITY] X --3-5---9 010.066

The first field specifies if the package should be built on default or not (X=on, O=off). The second and third field specify the stages and build-order for that package.

See the section called “Build Stages” and the section called “Build Priority” for a detailed explanation.

[CV-URL] http://www.research.avayalabs.com/project/libsafe/

The URL used by scripts/Check-PkgVersion.

[CV-PAT] ^libsafe-[0-9]

The pattern used by scripts/Check-PkgVersion.

[CV-DEL] \.(tgz|tar\.gz)$

The delete pattern for scripts/Check-PkgVersion.

[O] [CONF] srcdir="$pkg-src-$ver"

The given text will be evaluated as if it would be at the top of the package's *.conf file.

[D] [DOWN] [DOWNLOAD] cksum foo-ver.tar.bz2 http://the-site.org/

[D] [DOWN] [DOWNLOAD] cksum foo-ver.tar.bz2 !http://the-site.org/foo-nover.tar.bz2

[D] [DOWN] [DOWNLOAD] cksum foo-ver.tar.bz2 cvs://:pserver:user@the-site.org:/cvsroot module

Download the specified file using the URL obtained by concatenation of the second (file) and third (base URL) fields. If the checksum is specified (neither '0' nor 'X') the downloaded file is checked for correctness. The download URL is split like this, because the first filename is also used for T2 mirrors and checkouts from version controls systems need a target tar-ball name.

The checksum can initially be '0' for later generation or 'X' to specify that the checksum should never be generated nor checked, for example due to checkouts from version control systems.

When a '!' is specified before the protocol a full URL must be given and is used, but the obtained content is rewritten to the filename specified in the second, filename field. This is useful to add a version to unversioned files or just to give filenames a better meaning and avoid conflicts.

Aside the normal ftp://, http:// and https:// protocols, cvs://^[4], svn://, svn+http://, svn+https:// as well as git:// are supported at the time of writing.

The package maintainer can use scripts/Create-CkSumPatch to generate the checksum if it is initially set to 0 and downloaded, like:

scripts/Create-CkSumPatch xemacs
patch -p1 < cksum.patch

or in short just:

scripts/Create-CkSumPatch xemacs | patch -p1

[SRC] [SOURCEPACKAGE] pattern1 pattern2 ...

This will enable build_this_package function to build the content of more than one tarball, all those files matching the patterns. Do not put the extension of the tarballs (e.g. tar.gz) into this tag, as it might be transformed to .bz2 by the build system automatically! A pattern to match the needed tarball is enough, for example:

[SRC] mypkg-version1 gfx
[D] cksum mypkg-version1.tar.gz http://some.url.tld
[D] cksum mypkg-gfx-version2.tbz2 http://some.url.tld
[D] cksum mypkg-data-version3.tar.bz2 http://some.url.tld

This would run the whole build cycle with mypkg-version1.tar.bz2 and mypkg-gfx-version2.tbz2 but not with mypkg-data-version3.tar.bz2. As the parameter are patterns to match, a simple '.' is enough to match all specified download files.
