Project Release Information2008-01-05 02:31 Many internal bugfixes and additional safety checks were added. This release adds --encrypt for symmetric encryption through GPG. It allows extraction to run asynchronously. 2005-06-03 12:31 A few minor bugfixes and improvements to the way files are archived and extracted were made in this version. 2004-05-02 14:13 Bugs with the command line when spawning terminals were fixed. --tar and --noexec options were added for archives, and --nomd5 and --nocrc options were included to avoid creating checksums in archives. A man page was included. 2003-07-05 04:26 This release adds some minor bugfixes. Makeself now complies with the latest POSIX spec, to avoid problems on newer Linux distributions. 2003-03-08 11:01 This version fixes some major issues with standard Unix compression (the "compress" command). There are also more bugfixes and clean-ups related to extraction and verification of checksums. Project Resources
Project Description makeself is a small shell script that generates a self-extractable compressed TAR archive from a directory. The resulting file appears as a shell script, and can be launched as is. The archive will then uncompress itself to a temporary directory and an arbitrary command will be executed (for example, an installation script). This is pretty similar to archives generated with WinZip Self-Extractor in the Windows world. |  |
