"Modular script Frogz enables packaging for Linux Slackware." (8 words)
Frogz is an excellent modular script aimed at packaging software under Linux Slackware. With Frogz, you can package your software with generic processes that you can adapt according to the specific needs of your software. This review will highlight some of the key features of Frogz that make it an excellent packaging tool for software developers.
Frogz is entirely written in bash, which means that if you are a SlackBuild writer, you can easily hack it without having to learn a new programming language. The script also offers smooth sharing of code and includes commands for exporting your code and importing others. Furthermore, Frogz offers several useful commands for managing your modules and packaging software. Plus, Frogz is easily localizable since it uses plain text files for its output, making it easy to translate into your native language. The official release is available in English and French.
Packaging with Frogz is straightforward but requires you to keep some principles in mind. Thankfully, there is a tutorial available that will show you how to work with Frogz. You can also download some of my tadpoles to get an idea of what Frogz is capable of. Additionally, Frogz embedded help explains everything you need to know about the fgz help import and fgz help jump commands, which can come in handy during the packaging process.
In the latest release of Frogz, the fgz command was split into several commands such as fgzadd, fgzbuild, fgzdel, fgzexport, fgzimport, fgzjump, fgzmod, and frogz. This change eliminated the distinction between primary and secondary options. Moreover, the @ build syntax was removed, and all options are introduced by the classic "-" from now on. The Rainette install script was rewritten in shell with some new features, and some unnecessary features were removed. Additionally, this release includes minor bug fixes and code improvements.
In conclusion, Frogz is an amazing modular script that makes packaging software under Linux Slackware a breeze. The script's excellent features, ease of use, and localization capabilities make it an ideal tool for software developers. If you're looking for a comprehensive packaging script for your software, be sure to give Frogz a try.
