dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > dCore X86
dCore-5.13.12.06 released
Jason W:
Team Tinycore is pleased to announce the release of dCore-5.13.12.06. Changes since dCore-5.13.11.06:
* Updated 3.8.13-tinycore kernel, the same build and patches as Core.
* usr/bin/debGetSize : New utility called on by importsce when the -s option is used to give package size info.
* usr/bin/deb2sce, usr/bin/importsce: adding options -s for size function and -r for on ram imported package unpacking.
* usr/bin/importsce: Made package search and results case insensitive.
* usr/bin/importsce: Made the -s option that stores md5sums of packages in the sce as the default.
* tce-setup: Enable lst= boot option.
* tc-functions: getpasswd preserve last char entered.
* etc/group: added plugdev group, and added user messagebus to messagebus to simplify dbus setup.
Please test and give feedback. Since there has been a kernel upgrade, please remember to download the vmlinuz as well as dCore.gz.

hi jason w,
interesting new options and approaches!
the modules in the sce-repository are for the 3.8.10-kernel... should we wait for the updates in the rep?
a small little bug in the kernel: the message in the boot-process reports dCore-5.13.11.06 instead of 5.13.12.06.
in my test of this cut fluxbox didn't start flawless, the display was corrupted (wide horizontal expanded images) and the error message told me that my i915-intel-module was not found in modules.dep :(
i keep on testing,
thank you for your work :)
Jason W:
Hi netnomad, the new modules have been in the repo for quite some time, use importrsce to install them.
I will correct the version number and check on the modules.dep thing.
netnomad:
hi jason w,
yes, i've successfully got them with importsce...
i noticed that it is possible to edit sceboot.lst suitable for different kernel-version with a variable like <<KERNEL>>?
are all provided modules in the package original-modules?
do i get with the entry "original-modules-KERNEL" a multifunctional sceboot.lst?
would you please give some more explanation for the -r option, for on ram imported package unpacking?
thank you for your commitment in tinycore.
Jason W:
original-modules-3.8.13-tinycore is a mega package of all the available module packages, I kept the same name as Core to preserve familiarity.
I will ponder the KERNEL variable for sceboot.lst, as it would make rebooting with a different kernel seamless without having to edit the sceboot.lst, though official kernel upgrades don't happen very often, usually one per major release which is roughly once a year it seems.
The -r option of importsce makes the unpacking of deb packages occur in /tmp which is in RAM. This is where up to thousands of files, or even hundreds of thousands in the case of large imports from file lists, get unpacked so they can be merged into the resulting sce. This option was added primarily to extend the life of flash media, and perhaps also to support the tce directory existing on a Widows filesystem.
