makeself - Make self-extractable archives on Unix
|
|
|
|
makeself.sh is a small shell script that generates a self-extractable
|
|
tar.gz archive from a directory. The resulting file appears as a shell
|
|
script (many of those have a .run suffix), and can be launched as
|
|
is. The archive will then uncompress itself to a temporary directory
|
|
and an optional arbitrary command will be executed (for example an
|
|
installation script). This is pretty similar to archives generated
|
|
with WinZip Self-Extractor in the Windows world. Makeself archives
|
|
also include checksums for integrity self-validation (CRC and/or MD5
|
|
checksums).
