It creates .pget files, which are simply pupget format .tar.gz files renamed to end in .pget. The idea is that the much-liked "click to install" capability of .pup files can now (soon!) be realized for .pget files too, by writing a short script for Rox to deal with .pget files by executing /usr/sbin/pupget so as to install them.
It is still in its infancy. Developers (people who are comfortable compiling source tarballs by hand): please do try it and report successes, failures, suggestions for improvement, etc. End users who are not used to compiling things: this is probably not for you.
Known missing functionality:
- Does not handle packaging *.xpm files into the root of the tarball at all.
- Does not handle multiple keywords in the keyword file.
- Does not allow packager to specify a keyword (just creates one based on the source filename).
