It turns out nc does a pretty decent ftp client and might be a good
alternative to cftp which … really never went anywhere and is awfully
easy to crash.
Another temporary script. This performs the tasks from ivan.sh related
to installCommTools. It differs from that block (which has not yet been
formally replaced) primarily by having a rewritten and hopefully more
logical installation for oysttyer.
Oysttyer probably should be broken into its own script—all of these
things should be really—but this one in particular because it's so
involved even compared to other installations because we have stuff we
need to clean up first.
The FIXME about unsafe file handling is resolved. However since nulib2
doesn't build on sid, we need to get that fixed before sid becomes
buster, so a new FIXME is needed.
Now install_archive_tools creates its own temp directories for
installation. Nulib2 doesn't build for me on sid/buster though, we're
going to need a patch I think. We may as well patch it at that point
for building libnufx as a shared lib while we're at it. I really don't
want another project right now. :( This is why we don't get releases
out.
The archiver installation was a pretty simple, isolated chunk of code,
and thus easily pulled into its own script with minimal external
dependencies.
I made few changes, so the new script isn't very tidy unless it's run
from ivan.sh. It should create temp directories for anything it
downloads and clean up after itself when it's finished, but for now it
assumes ivan.sh is doing that. Mostly that's to keep the intellectual
diff small from the code in ivan.sh to the script.
I'll clean this up in an upcoming commit. Feel free to offer PRs that
do this kind of thing to other easily isolated (or not so easily
isolated) chunks. Once ivan.sh is split apart into nice logical pieces,
it will be a lot easier to test and fix individual pieces independent of
the whole. That's something we can't even say for a2server yet.
Added a new script that sets two variables when sourced, $ras2_os and
$ras2_arch. These are different than the existing variables we've been
using in a2cloud/a2server and they don't (in and of themselves) presume
Debian. That said, nothing's likely to work with these scripts except
on Debian, so … yeah. But the script is designed not to tie you to that
ultimately.
Outputs the variable assignments to stdout unless you pass -q.
