how can I make a script for my Linux distro?

[UnderTheGun]

I would like to make a script to install missing dependencies for my Chakra Linux distro.
How can I do it?

At the moment I created 2 new files:

/usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/pts-core/external-test-dependencies/xml/chakra-packages.xml
chakra-packages.xml
and

/usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/pts-core/external-test-dependencies/scripts/install-chakra-packages.sh

#!/bin/sh

# Chakra package installation

echo "Please enter your root password below:" 1>&2
su root -c "pacman -Sy $*"
exit

..but it doesn't work...any advice?

When running "phoronix-test-suite diagnostics" what is the output as your OS version identifier? But yes, generally just the sh and xml files should be needed.

Ahahaha...lol.....2014.01.30 is the iso file name

If thats how it's being shown as the OS identifier.

If thats how it's being shown as the OS identifier.

OPERATING_SYSTEM = chakra
OS_VERSION = 2014.01.30
OS_ARCH = x86_64
OS_TYPE = Linux

[UnderTheGun]

So, shall I create these 2 files?

install-2014.01.30-packages.sh
2014.01.30-packages.xml

okay?

Thanks .

It doesn't work....

Distribution install script not found!
There are dependencies still missing from the system:
- Basic Linear Algebra Sub-Routine Library
- Linear Algebra Pack

1: Ignore missing dependencies and proceed with installation.
2: Skip installing the tests with missing dependencies.
3: Re-attempt to install the missing dependencies.
4: Quit the current Phoronix Test Suite process.
Missing dependencies action: 3
Distribution install script not found!

I also created :
chakra-2014.01.30-packages.xml
install-chakra-2014.01.30-packages.sh

but....nothing.

OT abit, but BLAS libraries? Are you trying to run LINPACK or something?
Just curious. If so, don't use the PTS version of LINPACK, just get one of the Intel optimized linpack binaries.

This is just a test to verify if my script works .
But unfortunately PTS can't find it ....

Need I modify only these 2 files? Or there are others?
Please, any advice is welcome.

Thanks.

Nobody?
