The actual template for LightGUI is quite a bit longer (and contains a package to start xfce4 at boot time), but it's very simple to specify which repositories you want to use, what Debian suite you want, what type of Morphix module you want to autobuild and naturally the packages you want. Currently, MMaker can only build base and main modules . A few tags might need some extra explaining:</p><p><repository> - With this tag you define the Debian repository/repositories from which to build your module. Use the type="plain" attribute when you have a repository without separate suites (You can verify this by checking the repository, if it has a Packages file in the root directory of the repository we call it <span class="emphasis"><em>plain</em></span>). Normal, Debian-style repositories is default</p><p><type> - mainmod, basemod. minimod-type templates are coming up (a separate minimodule generator was constructed before MMaker). It would actually be fairly easy to even have a knoppix-type.</p><p><suite> - sid, sarge, woody (or unstable, testing or stable). These are the three branches of Debian, of which Morphix is derived from.</p><p><arch> - the architecture for which you are building your module. Using an architecture different from the host system isn't recommended and can lead to very interesting errors. It defaults to the architecture of your host system, which should be fine most of the time.</p><p>There are a few other tags and commandline options for MMaker, consult the documentation for details.</p><p>After your module is built (which takes some time without a local Debian mirror) your uncompressed module will exist in a directory in your /tmp. MMaker will output details of how to recompress it if necessary. We hope MMaker will be useful in letting Morphix work for you!
