al@834 1 You can use a variable COOKOPTS in the receipts to adjust certain aspects of the
al@834 2 preparation of a package. Multiple options are allowed, that can be written
al@834 3 together or separated by spaces, tabs or any other symbols.
al@834 4
al@834 5 Example of use:
al@834 6
al@834 7 COOKOPTS="!menus !pngz"
al@834 8
al@834 9
al@834 10 Currently, the following options are recognized:
al@834 11
al@834 12 !pixmaps
al@838 13 Default action is to copy icons from a /usr/share/pixmaps folder as well as
paul@839 14 from the stuff folder (the same action that made obsolete option
al@838 15 `GENERIC_PIXMAPS="no"`).
paul@839 16 The presence of this option overrides the default action (files will not be
paul@839 17 automatically copied).
al@834 18
al@848 19 !menus
al@838 20 Default action is to copy desktop files from a /usr/share/applications
al@838 21 folder (the same action that made obsolete option `GENERIC_MENUS="no"`).
paul@839 22 The presence of this option overrides the default action (files will not be
paul@839 23 automatically copied).
al@834 24
al@834 25 !fixdesktops
al@838 26 Default action is to fix common errors and warnings in the .desktop files.
paul@839 27 The presence of this option overrides the default action (.desktop files
paul@839 28 will not be changed).
al@838 29
al@838 30 !i18nz
al@838 31 1. Default action is to delete locales that are not currently supported by
paul@839 32 SliTaz while processing desktop files.
paul@839 33 The presence of this option overrides the default action (.desktop files
paul@839 34 will contain the original set of locales).
al@838 35 Please note, this option does not have any action if the `!fixdesktops`
paul@839 36 option is provided (desktop files will not change in any way).
al@838 37 2. Default action is to keep only supported translations provided by the
al@838 38 *.mo files.
paul@839 39 The presence of this option overrides the default action (all existing *.mo
paul@839 40 files will remain).
al@846 41 Please note, you can add all the translations to the package, for example,
al@846 42 using the command: `cook_copy_files *.mo` (then by default only the
al@846 43 supported locales will be left).
al@838 44
al@838 45 !extradesktops
al@846 46 Default action is to remove extra information from the desktop files:
al@846 47 entries such as 'GenericName', 'X-GNOME-FullName' (all X-* are exposed),
al@846 48 'Terminal=false', Keywords and other sections. This extra information just
al@846 49 isn't supported in the current (LXDE) environment.
paul@839 50 The presence of this option overrides the default action (extra information
paul@839 51 will not be removed from the .desktop files).
al@834 52
al@834 53 !strip
al@838 54 Default action is to strip executable files, shared and static libraries,
al@838 55 as well as remove Python (*.pyc and *.pyo) and Perl (perllocal.pod and
al@838 56 .packlist) files.
paul@839 57 The presence of this option overrides the default action (executable files
paul@839 58 and libraries will not be stripped, and Python and Perl files will all be
paul@839 59 left).
al@834 60
al@899 61 !perlz
al@899 62 Default action is to strip POD (plain old documentation) from the Perl
paul@900 63 modules (*.pm) and program (*.pl) files.
al@899 64 The presence of this option overrides the default action (Perl files will
al@899 65 not be stripped).
al@899 66 Note, if you disabled the cleaning by using the higher !strip option, Perl
al@899 67 files also will not be stripped.
al@899 68
al@899 69 !rmpod
al@899 70 Default action is to remove Perl's POD (plain old documentation) (*.pod)
al@899 71 files.
al@899 72 The presence of this option overrides the default action (*.pod files will
al@899 73 all be left).
al@899 74 Note, if you disabled the cleaning by using the higher !strip option, *.pod
al@899 75 files also will all be left.
al@899 76
al@834 77 !manz
al@838 78 Default action is to compress all man pages.
paul@839 79 The presence of this option overrides the default action (all man pages will
al@846 80 be left "as is"). Please note that these files may be installed in a
al@846 81 compressed format.
al@834 82
al@872 83 !gz
al@872 84 Default action is to recompress all *.gz files (excluding man pages) with
al@872 85 the better compression ratio.
al@872 86 The presence of this option overrides the default action (all *.gzip files
al@872 87 will be left "as is").
al@872 88
al@834 89 !pngz
al@838 90 Default action is to compress all PNG images. Image compression allows you
al@838 91 to save some space, but it takes a lot of time.
paul@839 92 The presence of this option overrides the default action (all PNG images
paul@839 93 will be left "as is").
al@834 94
al@834 95 !pngquant
al@838 96 Default action is to use `pngquant` while compressing PNG images. Please
al@838 97 note, `pngquant` produces indexed images (max 256 colors) which can be
paul@839 98 inappropriate in some cases, a few programs (such as SLiM) will not
al@838 99 recognize this PNG file format.
paul@839 100 The presence of this option overrides the default action (`pngquant` will
paul@839 101 not be used).
al@834 102
al@834 103 !optipng
al@838 104 Default action is to use `optipng` to compress PNG images. Please note,
paul@839 105 `optipng` is a lossless PNG compressor. Using `pngquant` and `optipng` in
paul@839 106 conjunction allows you to save more space.
paul@839 107 The presence of this option overrides the default action (`optipng` will not
paul@839 108 be used).
al@834 109
al@834 110 op0 to op8
paul@839 111 Default action is to use optimization level 2 while processing PNG images by
paul@839 112 `optipng`. Using this option you can set the desired `optipng` optimization
al@846 113 level. The higher the level, the slower the compression and the smaller the
al@846 114 file size. Please note that this option has no exclamation mark, because it
al@846 115 means "don't do", and here, on the contrary, "to do".
al@834 116
al@834 117 !svgz
al@838 118 Default action is to compress all SVG images.
paul@839 119 The presence of this option overrides the default action (all SVG images
paul@839 120 will be left "as is").
al@836 121
al@836 122 !uiz
al@838 123 Default action is to compress Glade UI files. Compression means the removal
al@838 124 of insignificant spaces and comments.
paul@839 125 The presence of this option overrides the default action (all *.ui and
paul@839 126 *.glade files will be left "as is").
al@846 127
al@846 128 !monorm
al@846 129 Default action is to normalize *.mo files. Normalization means the
paul@847 130 unconditional conversion to UTF-8, removal of accidental duplicates and
paul@847 131 most of the header lines as well as catalog entries that are not added to
paul@847 132 the translation (when string in msgid equals to string in msgstr).
al@846 133 The presence of this option overrides the default action (all *.mo files
al@846 134 will be left "as is").
