CVS update: Vanilla/tools



Date:	Thursday July 15, 1999 @ 2:51
Author:	tanner

Update of /home/netrek/cvsroot/Vanilla/tools
In directory cvs.castle.real-time.com:/var/tmp/cvs-serv12298/tools

Added Files:
	updatekeys 
Log Message:
	* tools/updatekeys: New tool (shell script) that is from from cron
	to suck the keys from the metaserver. A little more documentation
	in the script would be helpful. The default is to run the same
	options that Continuum runs.

	* rpm/netrek.crontab: Simple crontab for activating updated. There
	is a new tool (shell script) called updatekeys, which sets all the
	command line options for updated to run within cron
	appropriately. This will also allow the server admin to alter
	updated's behavior without having to mess with cron.

	* rpm/Vanilla.spec (%postun): Major hack again. Need to get netrek
	cron entries out of games' crontabs without deleting other
	potential crontab entries. ** NOTICE ** this method required that
	"netrek" (the word) be part of the crontab entries that need to be
	removed. This might come back and bite us in the butt.

	* rpm/Vanilla.spec (%post): Major hack to get cron jobs into
	games' crontab. Have to be careful, games may already have a
	crontab tab, so suck the current  crontab out and save it to a
	temp location. Append netrek's cron entries to the crontab. Put
	the crontab back into cron. Finally clean up after ourselves.

	* rpm/Vanilla.spec (Requires): The .spec file is becoming more
	complex. We need to have gtk > 1.2, glib > 1.2 for gum. Cron and
	sed are necessary for setting up crontab entries for updated on
	install and deleted those same entries on removal.
