Debian Jessie dCore

Here is how it works. 

importsce -l mypackage will create an sce out of the pakcage list named mypakcage.

That list is then stored as /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/sce/mypackage.sce.lst.

/etc/sysconfig/tcedir/sce/mypackage.sce.lst will be used as the package list for future re-imports of mypackage,
unless a new list named mypackage is used, which in that case the new list is used for importing and that
new list is copied to /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/sce/mypackage.sce.lst.

You can either pre-create  /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/sce/mypackage.sce.lst or just use the "importsce -l" option as before.  This way you don't have to try to remember where you stored that package list or if you have added or taken from it since you last imported using that list.  The .lst file is automatically used in re-imports, allowing easy updates to meta extensions with the same contents as the previous import.

[Jason W]

In fact, this combined with the non-interactive feature will allow a simple scripted update of the existing sce's in the sce directory with one command similar to a Core extension update.  That is, assuming the sce's made with a package list have their .lst file in place, otherwise the import will fail or simply import the Debian package and it's deps if the sce name is that of a Debian package.

Updated to release_candidates with a fix for non-interactive mode on package selection.

hi jason,

updatesce breaks after the missing md5sum of firmware-all.tar.gz:

Ok, a simple issue in deb2sce when GNU wget is installed.  I aliased wget and md5sum to their busybox versions in /bb.  Uploading now, redownload and try again.

[Jason W]

Updated with simple bugfixes and enhancements.

Debian Jessie has been frozen as of Nov 5, meaning that any future package updates are for bug fixes only.  To dCore this means that Jessie can be considered stable for daily use and normal importsce methods.  No longer is one single SCE from a file list the only recommended way. 

When the latest changes have settled down in importsce, I will make a stable release of Jessie, as well as Trusty so users don't have to be subject to the testing changes unless they desire to.

[Jason W]

Updated with latest fixes.  Available in the release_candidates directory below.  Note, the releases and release candidates under the tinycorelinux/5.x/x86/ directory will no longer be supported once a stable release is make in tinycorelinux/dCore/x86/.  Users are advised to download the latest release at that time.

A smalll update with more streamlined md5sum and dependency searching during import.

hi jason,

a great cut!!!
i can confirm you after pretty heavy testing that i found no flaws or bugs

thank you for your efforts.

[Jason W]

Great.  But I have uploaded one more bugfix for the dCores dealing with the md5sum checking of packages in extra repos.

Please download and test.

[Jason W]

Bugfix in extra repo md5sum function.
