dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > dCore X86
How does one use dCore?

Hi cast-fish
--- Quote ---do you think it will work with "Ardour" music tool?

Didn't Jason already answer that when he said:
--- Quote ---Type the command "importsce" and it will prompt you to enter the first letters of a package name, and a menu of similarly named packages will appear.
--- End quote ---
cast-fish:
well it's a double question Rich
some repos don't offer that tool...some do
i am double thinking .....about "arm" repo's and 'x86" repo's..... but don't have much experience with it.
the second part of the question is
b) is a "dcore" user presented with the same repo's as what a tradition "debian OS user" would see?

Vince,
It is simple to find out if a package is available in the Debian repo, or other repos that can be added. "importsce ardour" brought up the below menu of choices:
--- Code: ---Select Package for ardour
1. ardour
2. ardour-i686
Enter selection ( 1 - 2 ) or (q)uit: 1
Do you want to import ardour? (y/N):
--- End code ---
And yes, dCore uses Debian repos. The default is the standard Wheezy main one, and others can be added. If you are running x86, it will only fetch from the i386 repo. Running arm, and only the arm packages are fetched. The exception are packages with the "all" arch specification, as those packages are not arch specific.
cast-fish:
ahh right...
i see
So then Ardour will work.
sorry but it's a grey area for me about repo's
Then the "arm dcore" repo would also give that similar result?
(without wanting to confuse anything.....because this is the x86 thread right)

Jason W:
Yeah, if the package is available for ARM, it will appear if using the ARM dCore.
One of the goals of dCore is for the behavior to be exactly the same across all arch's, currently armv7 and x86. Both ports use the exact same scripts and code.
