why does every "up"dates make tinycore worse?
what once was tiny is now libraries depending on all other libraries.
I found out I could change the .dep file so it points to jack-lib.tcz
But also, every time I press "update .dep files" my customized .dep files fixing some of this dependency mess get overwritten. Is there some recommended way to handle this?
-
Yes, for extensions that other extensions don't depend on. You'd rename ffmpeg.tcz to myffmpeg.tcz, and then updates for it or deps wouldn't touch it.
-
dep files. of course, will be used during updates as many times an updated extension has a new or changed dependency. Witness the recent wpa_supplicant.
You may change the name to avoid but note that also results in such never again being updated.
To avoid dependencies use scm style extensions.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will look deeper into scm when I come to solving my driver issues with current kernels.
