As a packaging tool, it is essential for Autobuild3 to be able to handle package manager scriptlets. Scriptlets are scripts used by package managers to perform post-installation, pre-installation, post-removal, and pre-removal (configuration) actions - sometimes essential for a software package to work.
Defining scriptlets using Autobuild3 is as simple as:
-
autobuild/postinst- Post-installation script. -
autobuild/preinst- Pre-installation script. -
autobuild/postrm- Post-removal script. -
autobuild/prerm- Pre-removal script.
These files contains contents of the scripts, and will be sourced as Unix Shell scripts by package managers. You don't have to include She-Bang in the files.
Architectural specific scripts can be stored in architecture sub-directories.
