dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > dCore x86 Imported Extensions
One command update of the sce directory.
Jason W:
There are some issues I did not forsee in mounting and updating an extension in place. One of them and the deal killer is the potential for stale files when files have been changed in the Debian package. This would most likely happen in Debian testing or Ubuntu. I would rather stay with a dependable and solid result of a re-import than risk breakage from file conflicts. That and dependencies of packages can change, though that could be handled it would mean basically having to go through the entire import process anyway. Also, massive code changes to importsce and it's support scripts would have to occur.
Updating is not something that has to happen on a frequent basis, unless using a testing repo that has not stabilized. But in any case, I am working on some streamlining of the import process to make it even quicker as well as the 'one command' update of existing SCE's. Though it may take more time than an update in place method, it can be done unattended requiring little effort from the user and reliably update existing SCE's whether they are from a file list, have dependency SCE's or are a custom built package.
Jason W:
updatesce is now in base. Use as follows:
$ updatesce
$ updatesce -r
This will bring up a menu of existing SCEs to choose from. The second one will use the -r RAM option. The non-interactive and size options are by default. The update session will stop at the point when it is found you do not have enough room to update the next SCE. You can choose more than one, up to all.
$ updatesce file
This will update the SCE named file.
$ updatesce all
This will update all the existing SCEs in your SCE directory.

Hi Jason and the others
issuing updatesce I get permission denied on /tmp/select.ans
If I chown that file I get
libmatroska5_1.3.0-2_i386.deb is not available as a package. Exiting...
that file is asked from a deb list when I imported minitube
ps minitube doesn t contain the minitube binary

hi jason,
i get for a couple of deb2sce-scripts following error messages:
Merging Tiny Core custom start script for libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0.deb2sce
cat: /tmp/libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0.deb2sce: No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove '/tmp/libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0.deb2sce': No such file or directory
dito for the following deb2sce-scripts.
as a result i get an unusable sce-package that causes permission errors.
Jason W:
JLS - I think I have a fix for yours.
netnomad - there seems to be an issue with the tinycorelinux.net network. That would produce your error, I am getting it too off and on. Lets wait until the network issue is resolved, I would need it working to upload a fix anyway.
