setup.types(5) Easy Software Products setup.types(5)NAMEsetup.types - epm gui setup types file format.
DESCRIPTION
The EPM setup program normally presents the user with a
list of software products to install, which is called a
"custom" software installation.
If a file called setup.types is present in the package
directory, the user will instead be presented with a list
of installation types. Each type has an associated prod-
uct list which determines the products that are installed
by default. If a type has no products associated with it,
then it is treated as a custom installation and the user
is presented with a list of packages to choose from.
FILE FORMAT
The setup.types file is an ASCII text file consisting of
type and product lines. Comments can be inserted by start-
ing a line with the pound sign (#). Each installation type
is defined by a line starting with the word TYPE. Products
are defined by a line starting with the word INSTALL:
TYPE Typical End-User Configuration
INSTALL foo
INSTALL foo-help
TYPE Typical Developer Configuration
INSTALL foo
INSTALL foo-help
INSTALL foo-devel
INSTALL foo-examples
TYPE Custom Configuration
In the example above, three installation types are
defined. Since the last type includes no products, the
user will be presented with the full list of products to
choose from.
