These notes are only applicable to the "UK" versions of TivoWebPlus


To make a package for distribution:-
			
cd /var/hack/TivoWebPlus21b3

empty the "user" directories (but leave ".placeholder" in backups & uploads)
rm -f backups/*
rm -f config/*
rm -f uploads/*
rm -f ChannelMapScript.tcl 

update .dist/clean_dist.sh with modules to be deleted 
update .dist/delete.lst with modules to be deleted 
rm -f .dist/clean_dist.done  (marker file which indicates whether clean_dist.sh has been run once)


if you need to force any changes to the user's dyncfg.cfg file, then put the changes in 
.dist/dyncfgupdate.cfg
and
rm .dist/dyncfgupdate.cfg.done    
dyncfgupdate will be loaded the first time TWP starts after the update and the changes will overwrite the user's values. (dyncfgupdate.cfg.done is a marker file which indicates whether dyncfgupdate.cfg has been run)

otherwise just rm the old .dist/dyncfgupdate.cfg & .dist/dyncfgupdate.cfg.done


if you need toadd any new params to the user's tivoweb.cfg file, then put the changes in 
.dist/tivowebcfgupdate.cfg
and
rm .dist/tivowebcfgupdate.cfg.done    
tivowebcfgupdate will be appended to the users tivoweb.cfg file the first time TWP starts after the update. (tivowebcfgupdate.cfg.done is a marker file which indicates whether tivowebcfgupdate.cfg has been run)

otherwise just rm the old .dist/tivowebcfgupdate.cfg & .dist/tivowebcfgupdate.cfg.done


recreate the checksum files:
./check_dist.sh  -make 
./check_dist.sh  -make-du
(Hint: to check an installation use " check_dist.sh -all -simple " )


When making the tar we must exclude the prime directory since people may have installed elsewhere other than /var/hack/TivoWebPlus21b3 but we must include the hidden directory (.dist) :

cd /var/hack/TivoWebPlus21b3
tar -cvzf /var/tmp/twp.tgz  .



(Note: extract.sh & update.sh are now deprecated and haven't been updated to work with AltEPG)
