Description Kristoffer Grundström 2017-03-19 19:04:47 CET

Description of problem: makeself.sh is a shell script that generates a self-extractable tar.gz archive from a directory. The resulting file appears as a shell
script, and can be launched as is. The archive will then uncompress itself to a temporary directory and an arbitrary command will be executed (for example an installation script). This is pretty similar to archives generated with WinZip Self-Extractor in the Windows world.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.3.0

Comment 1 Kristoffer Grundström 2017-03-19 19:05:47 CET

According to the Linux build instructions wiki for Virtualbox it needs to be installed for the configure command to work.

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might, if there are no license or other legal issues, want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

I still see same error about missing makeself when running ./configure after I downloaded via svn.

It won't build due to this error:

RPM build error:

I'm hoping that someone can help fix this so we can push it to cauldron.

Thanks for importing this! However, I fail to find the .tar.gz mentioned as Source in http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/makeself/releases/2.3.1/1.mga7/SOURCES/

Shouldn't there be one?

Comment 7 Kristoffer Grundström 2017-11-11 00:56:15 CET

David: Since installing makeself in Cauldron I get this error everytime I use urpmi to update packages:

xz: /usr/share/man/man1/makeself.1.xz: File format not recognized

It would be great if you could solve that.

Comment 8 David GEIGER 2017-11-11 08:55:31 CET

Should be fixed in next makeself update!
