NOTICE

This project is now archived as it is bitrotting, outdated, and is too complicated (perhaps insecure as well). A new potential solution may be conjured up by the GLFS development team.

chkpkgver

Compares and fetches versions of GLFS packages against itself and online results.

Building, Installation, and Use

Dependencies:

• pkg-config / pkgconf (for detecting libraries and header file locations)
• cURL (for downloading pages)
• PCRE2 (For extracting versions)
• JSON-C (finding latest tags from Github)

To build the project, simply do:

cmake . && make

Then if you wish, copy it wherever or run it in the current directory. You can, however, use the classic method of building and installing by doing:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PREFIX . && make

And as the root user:

make install

To run the project, do:

/path/to/chkpkgver /path/to/packages.ent
