Welcome to the Tiny Core Linux Wiki at tinycorelinux.net!

These scripts are used for creating and managing Tiny Core extensions. Other version trackers (git, svn, etc) don't preserve permissions which is necessary for extensions. I recommend using them within a Tiny Core enviroment, it makes keeping the permissions straight much easier. These scripts will also use sudo to bump up permissions from tc to root (necessary if a file in the extension is owned by root) so they will most likely not work in other distros anyways.

Until this sentence is removed this is a work in progress! Some work still needs to be done to make them more portable. Use at your own risk!

Build the Enviroment

These scripts run inside the directory with your raw extensions.

mkdir extensions
cd extensions
mkdir built
mkdir changelog
mkdir backup
wget http://url/to/mkext  #these will be updated later
wget http://url/to/mkcln
wget http://url/to/mkchk
chmod +x mkext mkcln mkchk
mkext - make extension

This script will backup the old version of the extension, add all comments to the change log and then build the extension.
