Hello all, I'm new to this and I successfully build a package with
cygport. My problem is that, I would like to install it in order to
test if the package was successfully built. Is there anyway to do
that?

Thanks in advance,
Rui

I usually take the simpler approach of just unpacking the package archive
into the root filesystem:

tar -C/ -Jxf $package-$version.tar.xz

This doesn't run pre-remove or post-install scripts, but it puts the files
in place so you can test them.

Hello all and thanks for you fast responses :)

@Andrew: Is there a way to run the scripts manually?

BR,

Rui

Sure, you can run them manually. They're unpacked into
/etc/preremove/$package.sh and /etc/postinstall/$package.sh.

For the preremove script, I guess you should run it before unpacking the
archive. You can find it in the package build directory in
inst/etc/preremove.

I'm quite lazy and don't bother doing this, but if the preremove or
postinstall scripts are doing something important, you should do it.

Yes, you can point setup to a local directory.  It must not look like a
package mirror (i.e. doesn't have an ini file in an x86 / x86_64
subdirectory).  The packages still belong into a directory that is named
after the package I think.  You won't be able to do dependency
resolution that way, so unless it is really a one-off, you'd better
create a local package mirror and then integrate your new package into
that, using calm to re-generate the ini files.

Achim.

You should also generate the compressed packges listing in /etc/setup
and an entry into the installed.db file or you will be unable to
properly un-install the package later on.  The only time I'm using this
manual installation is when I quickly need to test an update on an
already installed package that I will later re-install properly via the
local package repository.  Of course if these need postinstall actions
you also need to run those, so this quickly gets more complicated than
having setup do its thing.

Maybe. But for most packages that I unpack this way to test, (1) the
package is already installed or I'm going to adopt it anyway, so I'll end
up installing it properly using setup, which will take care of other setup
like installed.db; and (2) the preremove and postinstall scripts either do
nothing or do only trivial things like updating config files.

So for most cases, it works just fine just to unpack the archive into the
root file system in order to test it.
