Cross Package Maker 1.3.3.6

XPM is an experimental branch of fpm (effing package management). Both simplify generating DEB, RPM, OSX, Solaris packages and some language-specific bundles. Cross package maker (XPM) adds simpler milti-target building per "-t deb,rpm,ipk" and convenient update filters. It also introduces a Windows EXE target, IPK/Listaller packages, support for PHP Phar archives, Composer bundle conversion, and a SRC input filter (for self-contained scripting code). "xpm" can be installed in parallel to the mainline "fpm" tool.

1.3.3.615 Apr 2015 03:15 minor feature: Add an even more general update filter, which utilizes make scripts called `Packfile`. (Can be utilized for mid-packaging tweaks.). Add mandatory `Source:` control field for DEB packages. Guard absent documentation comment when reading -s src files. Introduce brute force charset detection, assume UTF-8, else L1/ASCII. Fix default file mode for write_changelog, and fix lintian bug with absent md5sum for stub changelog. Prepare parseable DEP-5 license list. Introduce preprocessor filter utilizing preprocess.py. Enhance -s src plugin with some relative target path inheritance. Absolute paths aren't modularizable yet. And be more precautious with comment syntax consistency. Make -u fixperms ignore symlinks and chmod woes. Composer target: strip VCS #hashversion suffixes. Reinstate RPM support with php-composer(vnd/pkg) serialization. Handle tilde, caret and asterisk specifiers more concretely. Downcase version suffixes for DEB. Add --composer-no-alt flag to avoid phar- php- combinations. Phar target: Add --phar-x flag for executable flag. Remove --phar-stub prefix path. Classmap building avoids chdir now, uses Canonic_Autoloader tokenizer implementation. Default attributes are better filtered. Src plugin: retain invocation script as `main` file in attrs .
1.3.3.505 Jan 2015 21:05 cleanup: Cleanup of composer plugin for more isolated multi-target creation, configurable --prefix, supports php+phar alternatives in dependencies. More complete path cleanups for plugin chains. Update filters -u and target -t options can now be repeated . Introduce --attr flag to add control fields . Added filename lowercasing plugin. Deprecated fpm options are now hidden in the help list, still available.
1.3.3.427 Dec 2014 03:15 minor feature: Restructured staging/conversion step to separate flags and dependency resolution for multi-target building. Composer module changed to match Debian/Fedora packaging guidelines. Prefixed vendor/ path is omitted, composer managebility averted. Dependency transformation still is somewhat rough. Phar, Src, Exe, Composer module now use :attrs instead of . Added backtrace output for generic error message. Simple update filter added to "unprefix" input system packages.
1.3.3.322 Dec 2014 20:45 major feature: Branch derived from fpm 1.3.3. This release introduces the Windows SFX installer builder (.exe target), support for Listaller cross-distro packages (.ipk), simple PHP Phar archive building, and Composer bundle to rpm/deb conversion. It also adds the "src" source plugin for simpler packing of scripting-language based apps (with self-contained meta information and packaging data in source file comments). Multi-target building with -t deb,rpm,exe,ipk is another major feature, as are update filers -u man,desktop,appdata to avoid a few manual build tasks. Debian package signing was added. Minor additions to zip and tar plugins.
