dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > dCore X86

dCore 5.0-rc1 released

<< < (5/9) > >>

Jason W:
beroje, sceupdatecheck will be deprecated as premade packages are going to be imported like the others.

But there is an importupdatecheck that can be imported the will check sce's that were imported with the "import -s" option.  It simply tells a user which packages inside an sce have available updates whether they are Debian packages or custom Tinycore ones.

Import a package:

import -s firefox

Then at a later time, check it with:

importupdatecheck firefox

It will tell you of any packages contained in it that have newer versions.  The sce does not have to be mounted, it will work either way.

beroje:


thanks
Gracias

Why isn't the -s option used as default? What is the drawbacks using the -s option?

But how am I supposed to download firmware-iwlwifi if it can't be imported?

Jason W:
The -s option is used as it causes a list of md5sums to be created that not everyone will use, so for the sake of efficiency it is an option to create it.

As for the firmware, we are in the process of making a prebuilt wireless sce that can be downloaded so folks with wireless only have to download vmlinuz, dCore.gz, and the wireless sce.  I hope to get it up shortly.
