Software Installation Tool (sit) is a package manager inspired by Gentoo's emerge.

The script StarSs_testing_install.sh now accepts the new TARGET=hermit_cray, which builds for the Cray compiler on Hermit. Needs to jump through quite some loops at the moment to accomodate the cray compiler or the configure scripts. Also, as of 28 July, the resulting installation does not work (segfault when executing SMPSs app). Not sure if this is a problem of the new 2.4 runtime, this script, or the Cray programming environment. |

Software Installation Tool (SIT)
--------------------------------
SIT is a simple software installation tool inspired by gentoo's emerge script.
It eases the installation process and helps to prevent errors during the
installation as well as helps with the documentation as it generates a lot of
log files and installes them together with the softwre package.
In its current version it can only install a package using a package class file
including the necessary information
The package tree resides per default in the directory $SIT_PATH/packages. For
convenience it should look like following
$SIT_PATH/packages/CATEGORY/PACKAGE-VERSION
The global configuration file of SIT is $SIT_PATH/etc/sit.conf
It includes a variety of default values:
* PREFIX_BASE
* SRC_POOL
* SCLASS_DIR
* DEFAULT_PLATFORM
* DEFAULT_COMPILER
The installation process is currently controled with the following environment
variables:
* COMPILER
* COMPILER_VERSION
* MPI
* MPI_VERSION
* HOSTNAME
Sit detects currently the build platform using the HOSTNAME variable. If sit
cannot determine the PLATFORM it uses the default platform specified in sit.conf.
For each platform configuration files are stored unter
$SIT_PATH/etc/platform-configs/$PLATFORM/*
At the moment only compiler configurations are supported.
To install a package simply call sit with the necessary information provided by
these variables:
> [VARIABLE_DECLARATIONS] sit PACKAGE
e.g.
> PREFIX_BASE=/opt COMPILER=gnu COMPILER_VERSION=4.5 sit mpi/openmpi-1.5.1
PACKAGE FILES:
Package files should include all the necessary information for the installation
proces. The syntax of the package class files is inspired by gentoo's ebuild files.
A sit package file must contain at least the following variables
A archive (source tarball)
P package (name of extracted source folder)
URL
INSTALLER
Optional varialbes to control the build process are
CONFIGURE_OPTS options which will be passed to configure
MAKEOPTS options which will be passed to make (see sit.conf)
During the installation the following directory paths are used
WORKDIR working directory to which e.g. sources will be unpacked
SRCDIR source directory
BUILDDIR directory in which the package will be build ($SRCDIR/build)
LOGDIR directory storing the temporary logfiles ($WORKDIR)
For fine tuning of the installation process the user can overwrite the following
functions. If not other mentioned they are executed in $BUILDDIR
src_unpack extract $SRC_POOL/${A} into $WORKDIR
src_prepare prepare extracted sources
src_configure configure
src_build make
src_pretest
src_install make install
src_posttest
The following helper functions can be used
unpack recognize and extract a compressed tar file
