DotPet registration and dependencies
Posted: Mon 30 Apr 2007, 01:37
Recently, I was in the process of creating Ruby dotpet. After reading the Makefile, I realized that Ruby comes in two parts: ruby and ruby-doc. The difference is that the former is make install, the later is make install-doc.
The dotpet indicated that while new2dir can handle multiple packages, it is not entirely reliable. To get around the problem, I did a new2dir on make install. Change the directory name to ruby-doc and did a new2dir on make install-doc. I then use dir2pet to create the two dotpet.
When I install the dotpet files, I notice that one will erase the regristration of the other. Suppose I install ruby and then ruby-doc, ruby is erased from the registration list. How do I get around this problem?
