# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| makeself: makeself (Make self-extractable archives on Unix) makeself: makeself: makeself.sh is a small shell script that generates a self-extractable makeself: tgz archive from a directory. The resulting file appears as a shell makeself: script (many of those have a .run suffix), and can be launched as is. makeself: The archive will then uncompress itself to a temporary directory and makeself: an optionalarbitrary command will be executed (for example an makeself: installation script).This is pretty similar to archives generated makeself: with WinZip Self-Extractor inthe Windows world. Makeself archives makeself: also include checksums for integrityself-validation (CRC and/or makeself: MD5 checksums).
