dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > dCore X86

Next release candidate.

<< < (2/2)

Jason W:
Packing a Sid dCore.gz would be fairly simple, but running testing or sid system usually requires the means to update the system frequently, so it would an exercise in frustration for most to run a dCore made from it, even if the base libraries were up to date when the dCore.gz image was made.  And base files sometimes change location between releases, which would make it unreliable to script.

Jessie (current Debian testing)is scheduled to be frozen on Nov 5th, which would says to me that sometime this summer that Jessie would be reasonably stable enough to base a testing dCore image on.  Which would give us ample time to play with it and have it polished before the official release.

I wonder if systemd migration in Jessie will cause some issues here or not.

Jason W:
That is a good question, but as we don't use Debian's system init process, only their individual process start/stop scripts in /etc/init.d when we want to start or stop services I don't think things here will be much affected.  Given this, I may pack a Jessie dCore.gz soon for at least my own testing.

Jason W:
On the Jessie upgrade, I have packed a Jessie dCore for my own initial testing  and I do see a boot hang perhaps related to udev.  May have to do with systemd or may be something simple.  But there is always a solution.

I uploaded a new RC of dCore.gz and ub-dCore.gz.  Main things are a quicker import dependency routine in debGetDeps and debGetPkgList  when GNU grep is installed, otherwise defaulting to busybox.  Also, the "-n" non-interactive mode is available for importsce.  Which means that if you call importsce on a package name the exists in either the prebuilt section, extra repo, or main package pool you won't have to answer any questions unless you choose the "-d" option to choose a dependency sce.    If you call "importsce xorg-a" instead of "importsce xorg-all" then a menu will come up as usual since that package does not exist but similarly named ones do.  If you use "importsce xorg-al" then no menu will come up and xorg-all will be imported same as before since no other package shares "xorg-al" in the name and the select menu does not give a selection but goes with the one option when there is only one menu item.

Jason W:
Uploaded dCore.gz and ub-dCore.gz to the release candidates area.  Bugfixes on ppa-add to create /opt/debextra if not existing, and other bugfixes related to the extra repo functions.
