dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > dCore X86
dCore-5.0.alpha1 released
Jason W:
dbus-glib added to firefox's deps.
Jason W:
In regards to the WM startup scripts, flwm.sce and flwm_topside.sce already had a line echoing to /etc/sysconfig/desktop, flwm_topside had a test condition and flwm did not. I spent about 3 minutes adding the line with a test condition to the existing supported WM's and lxde and xfce4.
I just figured folks may like to boot dCore, import a window manager and xorg-all, load Xtc/Xprogs, and then be able to use X without having to reboot. It could also be one less potential cause for X not starting and the time spent troubleshooting that goes along with it, especially among newcomers. And since that line, albeit without a test condition, is in all the regular TC window manager and desktop extensions as well as the use of the boot code, I think being consistent across Core and dCore would only be of benefit.
Also, I have made use of the unicode and language support as well as uXterm by installing the locales-all package.
EDIT: for 5.x, we could consider removing that startup script code from Core and have both Core and dCore use only the boot specified option. That way the expected behavior is the same across Core and dCore.

RE clfswm:
I added the needed dep cl-asdf to clfswm's dependencies so it will start when clfswm is the chosen window manager. I did test and run it, it is very unfamiliar so I don't know if I was seeing full intended functionality minus the TC specific stuff.
slkpg:
- Can I squash files into an sce as with tcz?
- Can the tool install local .deb files? I have cedarview drivers from ubuntu that are not on debian.
- Can TC 4.7 load an sce? Or convert to tcz. Would be nice in the interim.

I do not know

If I load the distro without firefox, dbus is already installed.
I do not know which package dbus is the dependence, However, if I try to import dbus.sce generated separately, this is not possible:
--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ loadsce dbus
dbus is already installed
--- End code ---
I think it's a control over programs (rather than packets) installed, dbus is in fact present in controlpanel -> stats -> installed

I just tried again (but with tcWbar) and this time it works. Perhaps it was due to the lack of the file xwbar.lst (or the necessity to restart the window manager?)
--- Quote ---s is a freedesktop compliant WM? Otherwise would need Core interface scripts.

What is "Core interface scripts" ?
--- Quote ---wifi.sce is just now posted and should be available via sce-fetch.sh
--- End quote ---
I'll try and let you know
