dCore-5.0.alpha1 released

[Jason W]

Iceweasel has always worked here.  I will try again with flwm to make sure there is no dependency issue.

[roberts]

Iceweasel working fine here on x86 dCore with flwm_topside. I am posting from it now.

[Jason W]

Vinnie - I added libdbus-glib-1-2 to Firefox's deps and now it is working with xorg-all, flwm_topside, Xtc, Xprogs, and firefox loaded.

[UPDATE] Toying around with dCore since yesterday and it still works like a charm!

One question: Can we unpack&modify the .sce extension as we could with the .tcz/.scm in TinyCore v4.6+?
This gives me an idea to strip my xorg-all.sce to only support 2 or 3 graphic chipsets...

@jason

ok firefox work! 

Today I tried the alpha 4 and and you forgot to update the version number

[Jason W]

Reuploaded dCore.gz and the alpha4 iso's to fix the version number.

[vinceASPECT]

Can dcore work as an arm CPU build?

[Jason W]

Actually, dCore is an x86 port of the armv7 Allwinner core that uses import for it's packages.  The import scripts are by design non arch specific so they can be ported to other arch's.  And the external package data and startup scripts located in http://tinycorelinux.net/5.x/import/ is also arch agnostic supporting all existing Core ports that use import.

[vinceASPECT]

OK Jason

Without complicating things

I think the question should have been

Can the army-core allwinner 10 version of TCL  "import" any app from the Debian repo?....and is it
 currently possible to do that?

Thanks

Vi

[Jason W]

Yes, it is mentioned in the Allwinner section of the forum as well, this thread in particular:

http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,14130.0.html

[vinceASPECT]

Right Jason

So that potentially gives  you a vast array of software tools for use on your allwiner device

It seems Worth Persuing as the best Linux for these devices then.........allwinner tablets

Thanks

ok, wifi works great with wpasupplicant, this would be a package to add to the pre-generated sce?

+1

[Jason W]

i don't currently use wpasupplicant nor have means of testing it.  But if someone can verify that an imported version works then I don't see why we can't host.

[uggla]

I tried to import wpasupplicant myself and it resulted in a 22 Mb large sce. That's huge compared with wpa_supplicant.tcz (268 Kb). Is really all those dependencies necessary with wireless_tools.sce and wireless-3.8.10-tinycore.sce loaded?
