---cut here--- #! /bin/sh DEBIAN_ROOT_DIR="/debian" PACKAGE_FILES="$DEBIAN_ROOT_DIR/bo/Packages" DEV_SEARCH='"-dev" or "-dbg" or "-pic"' DEVPACKAGES=$( cat $PACKAGE_FILES | \ sgrep "DEB_PKG containing (DEB_PACKAGE containing ($DEV_SEARCH))" |\ grep "Package: " | sed -e 's/Package: //g' ) OTHER="wg15-locale libpthread0 xslib splay boot-floppies" PKGS="$DEVPACKAGES $OTHER" # no package is ever likely to be called XYZZYXYZZYXYZZY. slightly # simpler than stripping off the initial "or " after constructing the # search string.
