glacier-pkgs

Collection of packages used by the Glacier package manager.

There are 2 different packaging methods.

The first, which is used if your program is relatively simple (only one or 2 executables installed), is relatively simple.

The second, which is used for more complex programs (a lot of executables installed and a lot of programs made), compiles said programs from source.

Regardless of which method you choose, all archives must have the following files:

  • An information file named "{package_name}-pkginfo.json", which must contain the package's name, version, description, source tree size, executable size, and any dependencies that Glacier will install, and the name of the license (if it utilizes a license that is not GPL 3.0)
  • A script named INSTALL.sh describing what steps must be taken to install the package
  • A script named UPDATE.sh describing what steps must be taken to update the package
  • A script named REMOVE.sh describing what steps must be taken to remove the package
  • The executable (or a makefile and configure script if the program will be compiled from source)
  • (optional) a copy of the license (if it utilizes a license that is not GPL 3.0)
