Packaging cross compiled libraries and binaries

Since I cross compile for my Synology DSM on a virtual machine that has no direct network access to the NAS, I have to transfer the binaries via USB drives.

The following shell scripts have been handy in this case. You might have to adjust the -N parameter, which causes tar to include only files newer than the provided date.
Use it to exclude all the binaries that come with the Synology toolchain.

Binaries

tar -N '2014-05-01' \
--no-recursion \
--exclude="*.tar.gz" \
--exclude="pack*" \
--exclude="pkgcon*" \
--exclude="xml2Con*" \
--exclude="engines" \
--exclude="gcc" \
--exclude="gcj*" \
--exclude="ldscr*" \
--exclude="*.a" \
--exclude="loggin*" \
-zcvf \
bin_`date +"%Y%m%d_%H%M"`.tar.gz *

Libraries

tar -N '2014-05-01' \
--no-recursion \
--exclude="*.tar.gz" \
--exclude="pack*" \
--exclude="pkgcon*" \
--exclude="xml2Con*" \
--exclude="engines" \
--exclude="gcc" \
--exclude="gcj*" \
--exclude="ldscr*" \
--exclude="*.a" \
--exclude="loggin*" \
--exclude="libdbus*" \
-zcvf \
lib_`date +"%Y%m%d_%H%M"`.tar.gz *
