What is mingw-pkg?

Initially developed as a tool for use by MinGW Project Maintainers, mingw-pkg is a modular Bourne shell script application suite, which may be used to facilitate the construction of binary packages such as those which are distributed from the MinGW.OSDN software repositories; the content of each distributable package is determined by parsing of a machine-readable "package specification" file, which is also designed to be readily "human-intelligible".

Facilitated by the bundled mingw-port command, in addition to its originally intended function, mingw-pkg also provides the build time infrastructure, for deployment by regular MinGW users, which is required to build those MinGW contributed packages which are distributed in the form of mingw-ports; as such it supersedes the old mingwPORT and mgwport package building frameworks.

Synopsis

mingw-pkg [option ] ... [var=value ] ... action ...

mingw-port [option ] ... pkgname-version

logmsg [option ] ... [changelog-path ]

Description

The mingw-pkg command provides the primary user interface to the application suite; controlled by a selection of action keywords, and directed by a package specification file, it affords the following capabilities:

• Import of source code from an upstream project archive, and preparation of a local source code tree.
• Optional integration with mercurial or git, for management of local changes to the upstream source code.
• Directed application of a sequence of patches, optionally managed by Mercurial Queues, or Git-MQ, to the local source code tree.
• Directed configuration, in accordance with options specified in the package specification file, to create a working build tree based on the local source code tree.
• Compilation of code, within the build tree, under optional direction by the package specification file.
• Installation of the "as-built" working code, optionally staging for distribution.
• Preparation of (optionally signed) MinGW-specific package sets, for distribution; (requires either mercurial or git integration).

The mingw-port command is implemented on top of mingw-pkg. Specifically intended for building packages which are published as mingw-ports, it performs the following sequence of operations:

• Acquires the mingw-port package file, downloading from the MinGW.OSDN archive site if necessary, and unpacks it, to initialize a local source code tree.
• Acquires the upstream source code archive, as directed by the package specification contained within the mingw-port package, and unpacks it, to complete instantiation of the local source code tree.
• Applies any sequence of patches, which may be included within the mingw-port package, to the local source code tree.
• Configures a working build tree, as directed by configuration options specified in the package specification file from the mingw-port package.
• Compiles the source code, as directed by the configuration of the working build tree.

The logmsg command is a utility script. It reads the topmost entry from a ChangeLog file, in standard GNU ChangeLog format, and reformats it in a style suitable for use as a Mercurial or Git commit log message, or patch header message. It also provides a separate, optional capability to extract the user identification, from the topmost ChangeLog entry, for possible use as the author identification for a Mercurial or Git commit.
