<h2 id="an-rpm-what-kind-of-absolute-madness-is-this">An RPM: what kind of absolute MADNESS is this ?</h2>
|
||||
<p>What kind of crazy idea is this? Install an IOCCC entry? I realise it seems odd
|
||||
(at best) so why did I make a rpm spec file and why did I hint at building RPMs
|
||||
for others? I can’t say precisely; <strong>certainly I’m under no impression that
|
||||
for others? I can’t say precisely; <strong>certainly I’m under <em>NO IMPRESSION</em> that
|
||||
anyone else will want to use it</strong> <em>but the entry was fun enough for me that I
|
||||
actually will</em> (a number of my programs over the years are programs I actually
|
||||
install and I already have done so with this entry).</p>
|
||||
<p>I already have my own RPM repository and initially after having won I set it up
|
||||
so that I could host the weasel rpm (binary and source) there. At the same time
|
||||
though I feel the entry belongs on the IOCCC website; that is to say the only
|
||||
place the raw files should be downloadable from is the IOCCC website itself.
|
||||
Simon Cooper (the judge who at the time dealt with setting up the entries on the
|
||||
IOCCC website) asked me if there is any real attachment in having the RPM built
|
||||
as part of the entry and the answer is ‘no’. He did suggest too that if I were
|
||||
to have the RPM hosted on the IOCCC website not only would it place a burden on
|
||||
me to keep it up to date (not that it ever needed to be updated) but it would
|
||||
place a burden on the judges. This is no longer true with GitHub but anyway
|
||||
since this was for personal reasons I decided that:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><p>I would not host the actual source code or scripts on my website; they will
|
||||
remain on the IOCCC website. This will most likely never change; instead I would
|
||||
link to the entry directory so that they remain where they belong: the IOCCC
|
||||
website itself. I have set up an <a href="https://ioccc.xexyl.net/2018/weasel/errata">errata page</a> however should there be anything
|
||||
requiring a fix.</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>I am keeping the weasel.spec file in the entry as it was part of my
|
||||
submission but I do not explain here how to set up the build environment or how
|
||||
to build a RPM: if you know how to use <strong>rpmbuild</strong> then you should be able to
|
||||
work it out. Again that’s a crazy idea but again it was there and it was part of
|
||||
the judges’ comments (which I liked a lot) which is yet another reason I kept
|
||||
it.</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>Because I strongly suspect (in other words since I know) I am the only one
|
||||
who has any desire for actually installing an IOCCC entry I did not do anything
|
||||
further. Nevertheless more information on my entry can be found at
|
||||
<a href="https://ioccc.xexyl.net/2018/weasel">https://ioccc.xexyl.net/2018/weasel</a>.</p></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>Nonetheless I am keeping the
|
||||
<a href="https://github.com/ioccc-src/temp-test-ioccc/blob/master/2018/ferguson/weasel.spec">weasel.spec</a> file in the entry as it was part of my
|
||||
submission but I won’t explain here how to set up the build environment or how
|
||||
to build a RPM; even if anyone did want to (and I know nobody else will) want to
|
||||
do this, they can figure it out themselves. Again, this was more personal but
|
||||
since the Judges’ remarks were fun for me I am keeping this here anyway.</p>
