The files herein should be of use for +those of you who want to package curl in a binary or source format using one +of those custom formats. + + The hierarchy for these directories is something like this: + + packages/[OS]/[FORMAT]/ + + Currently, we have Win32 and Linux for [OS]. There might be different formats +for the same OS so for Linux we have RPM as format. + + We might need to add some differentiation for CPU as well, as there is +Linux-RPMs for several CPUs. However, it might not be necessary since the +packaging should be pretty much the same no matter what CPU that is used. + + For each unique OS-FORMAT pair, there's a directory to "fill"! I'd like to +see a single README with as much details as possible, and then I'd like some +template files for the package process. |
