2 Documentation of the package description tags format. This tags are used in

4 with 'X-' (like [X-FOOBAR]).
6 Please use the tags in the same order as they are listed in this file. Add
7 a blank line wherever a '--' is found here and use the X-* flags after all

10 All tags marked with (*) are required. And should be present in every .desc

64 A list of possible flags can be found in etc/flags.
66 [R] [ARCH] [ARCHITECTURE]
69 Format: [R] - sparc powerpc
70 Usually a packge is built on all architectures. If you are using [R]
71 with '+' the package will only be built for the given architectures.
72 If you use it with '-' it will be built for all except the given
77 [E] [DEP] [DEPENDENCY]
79 Format: [E] group compiler
80 All dependencies to a package in this group (compiler) will get expanded to
81 dependencies to all packages in this group.
88 I will add a list of possible values to etc/register
93 where 'Stable' also can be 'Gamma' (very close to stable), 'Beta' or
94 'Alpha' (far away from stable).
96 [V] [VER] [VERSION] (*)
98 Package version and revision (example: '[V] 2.3 19991204').
100 [P] [PRI] [PRIORITY] (*)
102 Format: [P] X --3-----9 010.066
103 The first field specifies if the package should be built on default or

105 build-order for that package.
111 Format: [CV-URL] http://www.research.avayalabs.com/project/libsafe/
112 The URL used by ./scripts/Check-PkgVersion.
116 Format: [CV-PAT] ^libsafe-[0-9]
117 The search pattern for ./scripts/Check-PkgVersion.
121 Format: [CV-DEL] \.(tgz|tar.gz)$
122 The delete pattern for ./scripts/Check-PkgVersion.
128 Format: [O] srcdir="$pkg-src-$ver"
129 The given text will be evaluated as if it would be at the top of the
134 [D] [DOWN] [DOWNLOAD]
136 Download a file. (example: '[D] cksum foo.tar.bz2 http://the-size.org/')
137 The cksum can be initially 0.
141 [SRC] [SOURCEPACKAGE]
143 Format: [SRC] tarball1 tarball2
144 This will enable build_this_package to build the content of more than
146 NOTE: do not put the extension of the tarballs (e.g. tar.gz) into this
147 tag, as it will be autodetected.
148 NOTE2: a pattern to match the needed tarball should be enough.
150 > [D] cksum mypkg-version1.tar.gz http://some.url.tld
151 > [D] cksum mypkg-gfx-version2.tbz2 http://some.url.tld
152 > [D] cksum mypkg-data-version3.tar.bz2 http://some.url.tld
153 > [SRC] mypkg-version1 gfx
154 This would run the whole build cycle with mypkg-version1.tar.bz2 and
155 mypkg-gfx-version2.tbz2 but not with mypkg-data-version3.tar.bz2.
