-slacktrack version 2.00
-Release notes: 17th September 2008
-===================================
-
-Highlights:
------------
-
-slacktrack no longer uses 'installwatch' to track the installation
-process -- what was previously called 'altertrack' has been turned
-into 'slacktrack'.
-
-slacktrack's method of tracking package installations is to
-have the package installed directly onto the host's filesystem.
-
-This is for a number of reasons:
-
- 1.  installwatch is ill maintained and was failing to work correctly
-     with new versions of glibc and GNU 'coreutils'.
-
- 2.  installwatch could not track statically compiled binaries, 
-     meaning that if a statically compiled binary was used to
-     manipulate the filesystem in any way, these manipulations would
-     not be reflected in your package contents.
-
- 3.  With virtualisation -- QEMU, VMWare, SUN's VirtualBox -- being so
-     readily available, and allowing filesystem 'snapshots', it's
-     easier and easier to spin up a development operating system and
-     build and install directly onto the root filesystem, thus getting
-     a complete package.
-
-Upgrading your build scripts from slacktrack version 1.x
---------------------------------------------------------
-
-1.  slacktrack internal variables
-    -----------------------------
-
-    $SLACKTRACKFAKEROOT
-
-    This variable points to the location of the package's
-    root filesystem (usually /var/tmp/<someplace>).
-    Using slacktrack 1.x, you could perform operations on the 
-    package contents from your build script *during* the build
-    process.
-
-    In slacktrack 2.x, the package root directory is only populated
-    after the build script has finished.
-
-    However, the variable can still be used from a post-build
-    script.  
-    You can use slacktrack's '-R' operator to specify a post-build
-    script.  In the example below, the post build script is
-    called 'postbuildfixes.sh' and resides in the same directory
-    as the 'trackbuild' script.
-
- **  Note: Ensure that your post-build script is chmod 755. **
-
-# Launch the build script:
-altertrack \
-   --notidy \
-   --showdeps \
-   -T $TMP \
-   -l $CWD/build.$ARCH.log \
-   -R $CWD/postbuildfixes.sh \
-   -b $PKGSTORE \
-   -zIKASmg \
-   -Ocp $PKGNAM-$PKGVERSION-$ARCH-$BUILD.tgz ./linuxdoc-tools.build
-
-   The contents of this post build script can be something such as:
-
--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-#!/bin/bash
-
-# Once altertrack has determined what the contents of the package
-# should be, it copies them into $SLACKTRACKFAKEROOT
-# From here we can make modifications to the package's contents
-# immediately prior to the invocation of makepkg: altertrack will
-# do nothing else with the contents of the package after the execution
-# of this script.
-
-# If you modify anything here, be careful *not* to include the full
-# path name - only use relative paths (ie rm usr/bin/foo *not* rm /usr/bin/foo).
-
-# Enter the package's contents:
-cd $SLACKTRACKFAKEROOT
-
-# OpenSP creates this symlink; we delete it.
-if [ -L usr/share/doc ]; then
-   rm -f usr/share/doc
-fi
-
-# Incase you had CUPS running:
-rm -rf etc/cups etc/printcap
-# crond:
-rm -rf var/spool/cron
-rmdir var/spool
-
-# perllocal.pod files don't belong in packages.
-# SGMLSPL creates this:
-find . -name perllocal.pod -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f
-
-# Some doc dirs have attracted setuid.
-# We don't need setuid for anything in this package:
-chmod -R a-s .

-2.  Build script changes
-    --------------------
-
-    If your build scripts were more sophisticated and took advantage of
-    the way installwatch used a pseudo root filesystem, please be acutely
-    aware that your build script now runs on the host's live operating system;
-    so you need to be more careful.  However, as suggested -- run only on development
-    installations.
-
-3.  Additional files creeping into the packages
-    -------------------------------------------
-
-    Due to some daemons making changes to their config files whilst your build
-    is in flight, you may find some additional files have crept into your package
-    which you were not expecting.
-
-    You may wish to turn off the following daemons before starting a build:
-    CUPS
-    crond
-    sendmail
-    ypbind (NIS)
-    ypserv (NIS)
-
-    If you look at the example post build script above, you can see that it
-    removes some CUPS and crond residue.
-    Whilst it would be possible to remove these paths from slacktrack's scan
-    locations, some users may wish their package to place data in those directories;
-    so you need to make your own adjustments and checks for this.

-END.
