* Updated ondemand & tce-run improved support for command line additional arguments.

does that mean that we should remade all on-demand scripts in /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/ondemand?

[curaga]

Only if you need command line arguments with spaces.

hi friends,

something weird is happening...

"tce-run icecat" opens now icecat with the url icecat.com...

i guess that has something to do with the new script-and-spaces-issue!?

i use tce-run for a shortcut...

[netnomad]

now i changed my shortcut to "/usr/local/icecat/icecat" and it works as former experienced.
i guess  "tce-run icecat" has some advantages for certain circumstances...

[netnomad]

wbar is still a problem for icecat ondemand when i load it for the first time.

[roberts]

Heads Up! Reposted 4.5.2 as ondemand change had introduced a bug.

Check your md5sums.

[netnomad]

hi roberts,

i checked the md5sums... no problem.
i even reinstalled icecat ondemand... so in that step the ondemand-img and the wbar-entry were reinstalled.
but nevertheless the problem remained.

thank you  for your help.

[roberts]

After repost, icecat.tcz is working fine for me. Both ondemand menu item as well as from wbar.

There is still a problem with the ondemand script. Adding a ondemand app now creates the following script:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
TCEDIR=/etc/sysconfig/tcedir
if [ ! -e /usr/local/tce.installed/fluff ]; then
  tce-load -is $TCEDIR/optional/fluff.tcz
fi
[ $(which fluff) ] && exec   fluff

It should look like this:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
TCEDIR=/etc/sysconfig/tcedir
if [ ! -e /usr/local/tce.installed/fluff ]; then
  tce-load -is $TCEDIR/optional/fluff.tcz
fi
[ $(which fluff) ] && exec fluff "$@"
By the way, what's the point declaring a TCEDIR variable when it's only used once?

Hi uggla

By the way, what's the point declaring a TCEDIR variable when it's only used once?

Maintaining consistency with the other system scripts comes to mind. And speaking of maintaining, if
"/etc/sysconfig/tcedir"  were ever to change in the future, a find and replace of  "TCEDIR=/etc/sysconfig/tcedir"
is all that's needed to update all of the scripts.

[uggla]

Shouldn't TCEDIR be a system wide parameter? Why redefine it in every script?

[roberts]

ondemand issue fixed and posted.
Even though I asked bugs to be posted in the tcb bugs section we are still using news.
I am not sure what to make of that.  And we seem to be in the nit picky comments.
It is easy to be a Monday morning quarterback. It is always easier to criticize than to create.

Yes, I see I forgot to activate a button. It is hard to be perfect. I guess in the future we should have a multi month relese candidate testing cycle, so that some of the nuances can be caught. Bu then many won't touch an RC. Standby I will post another update.
I will post fix shortly.
