It's a collection of common BSD +utilities, compiled from different sources, by the Debian folks. It includes +tools such as the classic 'calendar'. + +This SlackBuild uses the Debian sources to create a suitable package for +Slackware. Hdate (and it's python bindings) is a build-time dependency, that +is built in this same package, but not installed. Because it's a package for +Slackware, and not Debian, it bears the following differences from the +original Debian package: +- Utilities that conflict with Slackware's util-linux have been removed. +- /etc/cron.daily/bsdmainutils and /etc/default/bsdmainutils have been + installed in /usr/doc as cron.daily, and bsdmainutils.default, respectively. + Please verify that these scripts work on your machine before using them in + production. They were tailored for Debian, not Slackware! +- The postinst and prerm scripts aren't installed, because they're unnecessary + in the context of Slackware. +- Slight structure alterations to fit with the Slackware filesystem. See the + SlackBuild for more details. |
