app borwser download the deps even they exists (as other extension type)

(1/3) > >>

jls:
if I download from the appbrowser a tcz that has dependences, those are downloaded even they exists (as tce).

ps. legalize all

mcewanw:
Yes, I wondered about that issue to.

However, if a user wants to move from using tce's mainly to tcz's mainly then I feel that they are likely to also want the tcz versions of any required dependencies. Otherwise, it becomes quite a task having to download all the dependencies in tcz form manually.

But there obviously remains a problem for those who don't "want" the tcz versions of dependencies too. Perhaps the user can be asked (via appbrowser coding changes) if they want to download the tcz dependencies for cases where they already have tce versions (or vice versa)?

roberts:
I don't see this behavior.

I downloaded xchat-2.8.6.tce via appbrowser on a pristine state machine.
Of course all the gtk2 tce type deps were also download into the tce directory.

Then, to test, I deleted only the xchat* files from the tce directory, leaving in tact all those gtk2 tce files.
After a reboot, I then went to appbrowser and downloaded xchat-1.2.8.tcz and only that was downloaded.

The download script uses /usr/local/tce.installed to check if an extension is already loaded on the system. If you look at that directory, there is no extension type indicated only the base name of the extension.

Perhaps, I have misunderstood. Please supply specifics that can be reproduced.

junan:
maybe jls_legalize mean when load a tcz , inside .dep file contain tcz extension that already installed as tce. tcz loaded without check that the dependencies already load as tce extension not tcz. maybe in tce-load can check if depedencies already load whether as tcz or tce.

mikshaw:
Maybe there is a minor difference in the filenames listed in the dep file, such as an included version number.  For example, the Audacious TCE dep lists audacious-plugins.tce, and the TCZ dep lists audacious-plugins-1.5.1.tcz
