::makedist::support::GetUrl (pu su tu)

Retrieves the urls-definitions from DESCRIPTION, removes any gaps between primary, secondary and tertiary definitions.

Notes: Internal procedure

Argument: pu Name of the variable to write the list of primary urls into.

Argument: su Name of the variable to write the list of secondary urls into.

Argument: tu Name of the variable to write the list of tertiary urls into.

mExpandUrls ()

Rewrites all definition of the form 'path/<ARCH>' found in DESCRIPTION (*-urls) into a set of complete urls, depending on the chosen packers. 'tgz, zip' for example yields the result: path/fullName.tar.gz, path/fullName.zip and path/fullName.README. The found paths are stored in 'mOpt(-locations)', for possible usage by the transport system. Rereads the changed DESCRIPTION, to give later commands access to the newly generated urls.

mGetDescription ()

Reads the description file into 'mDesc'.

Notes: See ::makedist::GetDescription too.

mUrls2Text ()

Transforms the *-urls definitions into text useable for an ANNOUNCEment.
