This script is nothing serious, I just wanted to see if you could create a installer out of bash. What the script does, if you examine the code, is create a tar.gz archive from the files and renames it (purely so that you don;t get confused with other tar.gz files) to another extension. then the script mkbash generates a file called bash.installer which renames the archive to a tar.gz archive and extracts it to a location specified in the script. This is all tarred and gzipped into another .tar.gz file which is renamed to .bash (again so you don't get confused with .tar.gz files). The installer (called installbash) just renames this archive to a tar.gz, extracts it, runs bash.installer which then extracts the archive with the files in into the appropriate directory. To see what I mean download the script and install it using runme (you need to be root).
To test this script, download this test archive and examine it or extract it using my script or a archive manager.
I just wanted to see if I could create a whole kind of rpm/deb thing from bash and other common unix utils.
Some hints:
1. Akways run makeinstaller in the folder that contains the files you want in - it will just create an archive out of all the files in that folder.
2. Again run installbash in the folder that contains the archive.bash file.
If people like it I may add more features.
Here is the code for the files:
makeinstaller
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Making installer from files in current directory"
tar -cf bashinstall.tar *
gzip -9 bashinstall.tar
rename bashinstall.tar.gz archive.bash.install bashinstall.tar.gz
mkbash
if [[ -e bash.installer ]]
then
echo "bash.installer found, continuing with script"
else
echo "ERROR!";
echo "No bash.installer file found in current directory, please create one with mkbash";
exit 1;
fi
tar -cf install.tar archive.bash.install bash.installer
gzip -9 install.tar
rename install.tar.gz archive.bash install.tar.gz
echo "archive.bash created in `pwd` "
rm -f archive.bash.install bash.installer
mkbashCode:
#!/bin/bash
echo "bash.installer will be created in `pwd`/.bash.installer"
read -p "Press enter to continue" enter
read -p "Where would you like the files to be installed (no trailing slash) - eg /usr/local : " extdir
echo "Ok, generating bash.installer"
echo "

then

else
mkdir -p $extdir; chmod 777 $extdir

echo "Files extracted in $extdir"
rm -f $extdir/bashinstall.tar.gz
exit 0

sleep 2
}
checkforroot

then

exit;
