daemontools, just compiling and not installing

daemontools, just compiling and not installing

[Payal Rathod]

Hi,
Excuse for a stupid question, but what is a way for just compiling the
daemontools package? I wanted to use some packages from it but do not
want to install them all. In such a case I would do, package/install as
a normal  user so that packages are not installed. But that is a
workaround. Is there any better way?

With warm regards,

package/compile will build the programs within the package directory.
package/upgrade will set up symlinks so the programs appear in $PATH.
package/run will set up svscan to run automatically.  You probably
want package/compile and package/upgrade, but not package/run.

Or package/compile, then copy the programs you want to where you want 
them.

[But I don't know why you wouldn't wish to install all the programs. Their 
names are distinct (and claimed for /command), so you shouldn't clobber 
anything, and they will certainly be harmless if never executed.]

Thanks for the mail. I guess I just need package/compile. I will install
them myself.

Thanks again.
