Syslinx Crux repository online

Some days ago I finally managed to switch from Debian to Crux. I had it already installed some time ago, but now all preferences and settings are imported and the system is fully usable. Nevertheless I’ve been missing leafnode in the ports-collection. This is why I shortly created an own package for leafnode. It’s available under syslinx. At the moment there’s only leafnode available but I’m going to release some other packages there soon. I’m rellay fascinated about the simplicity of creating packages. You actually just have to create a Pkgfile with a link to the program to compile and the instructions for compiling it (./configure, make, make install). Though you don’t need to create any other files than the Pkgfile, removing the application is done totally cleanly and fast. Normally (if you know the parameters you want to append to the ./configure script), a new package can be created within less than a minute. That’s just great, I’ve never seen a packetmanagment system which is that easy. Even Openwrt’s IPKG isn’t that easy.
