DESCRIPTION
       This module defines functions that are used to bootstrap a fink
       installation or update to a new version.	 The functions are intended to
       be called from scripts that are not part of fink itself.	 In
       particular, the scripts bootstrap, inject.pl,
       scripts/srcdist/dist-module.pl, and fink's postinstall.pl all depend on
       functions from this module.

   Functions
       These functions are exported on request.	 You can export them all with

	 use Fink::Bootstrap qw(:ALL);

       check_host
		   my $distribution = check_host($host);
		   my $distribution = check_host($host, $bootstrap);
		   my $distribution = check_host($host, $bootstrap, $arch);

	   Checks the current host OS version and returns which distribution
	   to use, or "unknown."  $host should be as determined by
	   config.guess.

	   The optional argument $bootstrap is a boolean, designating whether
	   we have been called by bootstrap or not.  If absent, it defaults to
	   false.

	   The second optional argument $arch specifies the architecture for
	   Fink which was chosen during bootstrap (from the bootstrap script),
	   or the architecture under which Fink is currently being installed
	   (when called from postinstall.pl).  It defaults to the empty
	   string.

	   This function also warns the user about certain bad configurations,
	   or incorrect versions of gcc.

	   After every release of Mac OS X, fink should be tested against the
	   new release and then this function should be updated.

	   Called by bootstrap and fink's postinstall.pl.

       inject_package
		   my $result = inject_package($package, $packagefiles, $info_script, $param);

	   The primary routine to update a fink installation, called by
	   inject.pl.  Installs a new version of $package (passing $param to
	   the locate_Fink function to find out where to install it), whose
	   source files are those listed in $packagefiles, and executing the
	   script $info_script prior to making the new package desription.

	   Returns 0 on success, 1 on failure.

       add_injected_to_trees
		   my ($exit_value) = add_injected_to_trees($distribution);

	   Adds local/injected to the Trees list, if not already present.  Now
	   depends on $distribution because the default Trees list does.
	   Returns 1 on failure, 0 on success.

	   Called by inject_package() and fink's postinstall.pl.

       additional_packages
		   my $package_list = additional_packages();

	   Returns a reference to the list of non-essential packages which
	   must be installed during bootstrap or selfupdate (this answer is
	   affected by the currently-running version of perl)

	   Called by bootstrap() and by Fink::SelfUpdate::finish().

       is_perl_supported
		   my $perl_is_supported = is_perl_supported();

	   Returns a boolean value which is "True" if the currently-running
	   version of perl is on the list of those versions supported during
	   bootstrapping, and "False" otherwise.

	   Called by bootstrap() and by Fink::SelfUpdate::finish().

       bootstrap1
		   bootstrap1();
	       bootstrap1($item1,$item2,...);

	   The first part of the primary bootstrap routine, called by
	   bootstrap.  The optional arguments specify packages in addition to
	   dpkg-bootstrap which should be built before package management
	   starts.

       bootstrap2
		   bootstrap2();

	   The second part of the primary bootstrap routine, called by
	   bootstrap.  This part must be run under a perl binary which is
	   identical to the one which will be used to run fink itself, post-
	   bootstrap.

       bootstrap3
		   bootstrap3();

	   The final part of the primary bootstrap routine, called by
	   bootstrap.

       get_bsbase
		   my $bsbase = get_bsbase();

	   Returns the base path for bootstrapping.  Called by bootstrap() and
	   by bootstrap.

       check_files
		   my $result = check_files();

	   Tests whether the current directory contains all of the files
	   needed to compile fink.  Returns 0 on success, 1 on failure.

	   Called by bootstrap and fink's inject.pl.

       fink_packagefiles
		   my $packagefiles = fink_packagefiles();

	   Returns a space-separated list of all files which should be
	   contained in the fink tarball.  Called by bootstrap and fink's
	   inject.pl.  This list is complete: you do not need to recurse
	   through directories, and simple directories are not even included
	   here.

       locate_Fink
		   my ($notlocated, $basepath) = locate_Fink();
		   my ($notlocated, $basepath) = locate_Fink($param);

	   If called without a parameter, attempts to guess the base path of
	   the fink installation.  If the guess is successful, returns (0,
	   base path).	If the guess is unsuccessful, returns (1, guessed
	   value) and suggests to the user to call the script with a
	   parameter.

	   When a parameter is passed, it is returned as the base path value
	   via (0, base path).

	   This function is called by inject_package().

       find_rootmethod
		   find_rootmethod($bpath);

	   Reexecute "./inject.pl $bpath" as sudo, if appropriate.  Called by
	   inject_package().

       create_tarball
		   my $result = create_tarball($bpath, $package, $packageversion, $packagefiles);

	   Create the directory $bpath/src if necessary, then create the
	   tarball $bpath/src/$package-$packageversion.tar containing the
	   files $packagefiles.	 Returns 0 on success, 1 on failure.

	   Called by bootstrap and inject_package().

       copy_description
		   my $result = copy_description($script, $bpath, $package, $packageversion, $packagerevision);
		   my $result = copy_description($script, $bpath, $package, $packageversion, $packagerevision, $destination);
		   my $result = copy_description($script, $bpath, $package, $packageversion, $packagerevision, $destination, $target_file);
		   my $result = copy_description($script, $bpath, $package, $packageversion, $packagerevision, $destination, $target_file, $template_file);

	   Execute the given $script, create the directories $bpath/fink/debs
	   and $bpath/fink/dists/$destination if necessary, and backup the
	   file $bpath/fink/dists/$destination/$target_file if it already
	   exists.

	   Next, copy $template_file (from the current directory) to
	   $bpath/fink/dists/$destination/$target_file, supplying the correct
	   $packageversion and $packagerevision as well as an MD5 sum
	   calculated from $bpath/src/$package-$packageversion.tar.  Ensure
	   that the created file has mode 644.

	   The default $destination, if not supplied, is
	   "local/injected/finkinfo".  The default $target_file, if not
	   supplied, is "$package.info".  The default $template_file, if not
	   supplied, is "$target_file.in".

	   Returns 0 on success, 1 on failure.

	   Called by bootstrap and inject_package().

       modify_description
		   my $result = modify_description($original,$target,$tarball,$package_source,$source_location,$distribution,$coda,$version,$revision);

	   Copy the file $original to $target, supplying the correct version,
	   revision, and distribution (from
	   get_version_revision($package_source,$distribution)) as well as
	   $source_location and an MD5 sum calculated from $tarball.  Pre-
	   evaluate any conditionals containing %{Distribution}, using
	   $distribution as the value of %{Distribution}.  Append $coda to the
	   end of the file.

	   Wrap the file in Info4, unless $distribution = 10.3 or 10.4.

	   Returns 0 on success, 1 on failure.

	   Called by copy_description() and scripts/srcdist/dist-module.pl .

       read_version_revision
		   my ($version, $revisions) = read_version_revision($package_source);

	   Finds the current version and possible revisions by examining the
	   files $package_source/VERSION and $package_source/REVISION.
	   $revisions is a reference to a hash which either specifies a
	   revision for each distribution, or else specifies a single revision
	   with the key "all".

	   Called by get_version_revision() and
	   scripts/srcdist/dist-module.pl.

       get_version_revision
		   my ($version, $revision) = get_version_revision($package_source,$distribution);

	   Calculate the version and revision numbers for the .info file,
	   based on the current $distribution, and the data given in
	   $package_source/VERSION and $package_source/REVISION.

	   Called by bootstrap, inject_package(), and modify_description().

       get_selfupdatetrees
		   my $selfupdatetrees = get_selfupdatetrees($distribution);

	   Find the correct value for $selfupdatetrees for the given
	   $distribution.

	   Called by bootstrap and postinstall.pl.
