buildidx is a little program that generates index.lst files for FDNPKG repositories out of a directory filled with FreeDOS packages.

You DON'T need buildidx if you're only using FDNPKG. This is a tool that can be useful only to administrators hosting and maintaining FDNPKG repositories. I tested (and used) it only on a Linux platform, but it might work on other platforms as well (if you manage to compile it correctly).

To operate properly, buildidx needs following tools to be available:
|
|
|
10 |
- gzip
|
|
|
11 |
- unzip

* How to use it *
|

Put all your packages into a single directory, for ex. "mystuff", and call buildidx with the directory as a parameter:
|
|
|
17 |
|
|
|
18 |
./buildidx mystuff
|
|
|
19 |
|
|
|
20 |
Then buildidx will compute a index.lst file and store it inside your directory. The directory will be useable as a FDNPKG repository then.
