Core v5.0rc1

Yes I don't doubt evince will load, but try to open a PDF document without schema extension loaded
if evince is opened from a terminal you'll see the error

Ah - I thought you meant that evince wouldn't start - modified dep file uploaded

Updates fail on occasions also and I haven't yet been able to determine why,  worth checking if above reason is the culprit.

Firefox v21 appears to function well in tc-5.x (despite the known minor glitch when opened from a terminal), feels like a full featured browser much like Chromium.  Honestly am not sure which browser I prefer?

Thanks

Earlier I thought I had found a bug in APPS when size was missing

APPS is still failing for some apps but it no longer true to fail on only missing size as per image

Of course it could be my tce/optional is somehow borked but I don't know enough to test this.

edit  maybe an issue pcre-dev

Please stop posting about 5.x extensions in the release candidate area. Extensions are not in the base and are created and maintained seperately.
Using the release candidate area as a catch all just compounds the task of trying to monitor any real issues within the base system.
We have an extension area for the very purpose of tracking extension issues. Please include 5.x in the title area for any extension issues posted there.

I've found an issue with tce-load in TC5rc1, I don't know if previous versions are affected. At line 157 there is a check for kernel modules in the extension, which is done by checking for the existence of a modules directory. I've notice that several extensions have such a directory but are for application modules, not kernel modules. This throws an error such as "ash: /some/dir/name/modules: unknown operand". I suggest that the line be changed from:
[ `find /tmp/tcloop/"$APPNAME" -type d -name modules` ] && MODULES=TRUE
to
[ -n "$(find /tmp/tcloop/"$APPNAME" \( -name '*.ko' -o -name '*.ko.gz' \))" ] && MODULES=TRUE
Look for what we are really looking for.

Is kexec supported in this version? I have an PXE installer that I've written that uses tinycore as the base, and it'd be super useful to be able to kexec into the new system.

Also, will adding an extension with firmware (like say the bnx2x firmware) cause the modules to be reloaded so that the firmware can be properly loaded? I currently have to explode the extensions into a remaster initrd to make the bnx2x load properly.

Thanks,

Please keep discussion here to V5 testing.

for some reason tce-update keeps failing.

i have to comment out part where the script attempts to mount tcedir -  then it proceeds correctly. otherwise i get error about being unable to locate tcedir.

that is when running system normally, with tcedir and extensions mounted.
