Re[4]: Server Adjustments

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello, Glus.

First of all, autoconf works at build time, not install time. A particular system, on which you install the software, may have habits different from build system.

Second, autoconf relies on development tools, which may be not available at install time.

And last, but not least, autoconf is explicitly designed to detect only features, the build depends upon. Briefly speaking, autoconf is not a right tool to detect system administrative environment.

Typically, application packager makes separate packages for every particular system he supports.

Best regards,

I understand.,, but what happens about /etc/init.d shell scripts (I mean the ones which start, stop & restart servers) ?  Would be possible to get more info about the way of manage them ?

But, this silence starts to make me think. Maybe, you want to tell me that these scripts are also the task of the one who installs the server... doesn't it ?
