SvarDOS package, non 8.3 filenames

Open boeckmann opened this issue 3 months ago • 2 comments

Hi @SuperIlu. I am currently packaging DOjS for SvarDOS. I encountered quite a few filenames longer than 8.3 in the release ZIP. Most of them are in the doc\html folder. I currently "solved" this by excluding the html documentation from the package and instead put a file whereis.txt with a link to this repo. Is this ok to you?

Further, for the package I renamed the following files:

changelog.md -> changes.md examples\ntpclient.js -> examples\ntpclnt.js

I also removed the LFNs readme_win32.md and readme_linux.md, because these should not be relevant to our SvarDOS package.

feel free to change what is necessary.

The HTML docs are not meant to be viewed on DOS anyhow, they are just included w/ the download so people do not need to download two archives... I'll consider to rename the changelog and the example file for future releases.

I have a FreeDOS package target and I try to remember to provide a package in addition to the regular ZIP. If you want, you can make a PullRequest with a SvarDOS target in the Makefile and I'll create SvarDOS releases in the future, too.

I uploaded the package to the SvarDOS package repository.

If you want, you can make a PullRequest with a SvarDOS target in the Makefile and I'll create SvarDOS releases in the future, too.

Generating a SvarDOS package from your binary package is basically one command execution with the package build script I created. So for now I think its good as it is.
