New RC, bugfixes and adding 'quit' option to the select menus to allow seeing the final option and it not being automatically selected.

hi jason,

very good work, the last cut are a huge success in usability and stability.
so i attach only two cosmetic issues as screenshots.
1. now there are empty lines, so the terminal history is earlier limited and in the case of an overview more scrolling is needed.
2. version does not like enter, it needs y or q to work without mistake.

thank you for your commitment to this projekt.

New upload, tce-setup was not loading the sces listed in sceboot.lst in all cases.  Also, bugfixes to the version command, now allows enter key as well as Y/y as the yes option.  I will leave the empty lines during import open to discussion.

Hi netnomad.

Jason addressed the Enter key download, works well.

The import double-spacing was one of my additions, blame it on old eyes! Completed imports today, see what you mean especially when 'Merging ...'. Personally i like double spacing at the beginning of the import when the indexes are updated, mirror is confirmed and SCE to be imported is printed, but removing the 'Merging...' doublespaces would be good. Hopefully this is a fair compromise:

If so then i believe Jason would just need to remove empty echos from lines 62, 89 and 118 of debExtract. Sorry didn't see your screenshot, hope this is what you meant, thanks.

[Jason W]

Sounds good to me, lets make this change in a new RC.

[Jason W]

New RC uplaoded, with the above mentioned fixes.

http://tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/release_candidates/

[Jason W]

Sce-remove now does not produce multiple quit entries.

[Jason W]

Via nitram we have help menu and similar additions as well as a quicker DEBINX diff creation in sce-update.  See git changes for details.

Sorry for posting here, more updates came out on dCore-jessie today helped me find a bug in new DEBINX diff. DEBINX doesn't keep a uniform format throughout, so last weekend's grep testing worked with this format, but didn't capture all DEBINX data unfortunately.

Code: [Select]

Package: 0ad
Installed-Size: 9700
Depends: 0ad-data , 0ad-data , 0ad-data-common , 0ad-data-common , libboost-filesystem1.55.0, libc6 , libcurl3-gnutls , libenet7, libgcc1 , libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1, libgloox12, libicu52 , libjpeg62-turbo , libminiupnpc10 , libmozjs-24-0, libnvtt2, libopenal1 , libpng12-0 , libsdl1.2debian , libstdc++6 , libvorbisfile3 , libwxbase3.0-0 , libwxgtk3.0-0 , libx11-6, libxcursor1 , libxml2 , zlib1g
Filename: pool/main/0/0ad/0ad_0.0.17-1_i386.deb
Size: 2838756
MD5sum: 47f9f448490623194647262d2a0f6243

...as the DEBINX also has lots of these entries at the bottom:

Code: [Select]

midori: b02713f85b579033d836432e93dac16b
openbox: fc81a6233002989d9a539fda88e057da

xtrlock: 4f77bf4d10b6d350128eeef18f8541d8

So it's good that a DEBINX diff now isn't created until a user wants to see it, makes  sce-update -a  faster for those that don't want to view it, the diff doesn't catch all. Here's what works, as before if anyone has any grep ideas please enlighten, thanks.

sce-update:

Code: [Select]

else
echo " "
echo "Press Enter to proceed with update(s), (v)iew DEBINX diff, Ctrl-C aborts,"
echo -n "to view diff use page up/down or spacebar and enter (q)uit when done: "
read ans
echo " "
if [ "$ans" == "v" ] || [ "$ans" == "V" ]; then
echo "Obtaining diff of new and old package data..."
#cat OLDDEBINX | grep -E 'Package|MD5sum' > /tmp/OLDDEBINXDIFF
#cat NEWDEBINX | grep -E 'Package|MD5sum' > /tmp/NEWDEBINXDIFF
diff "$DEBINXDIR"/OLDDEBINX "$DEBINXDIR"/NEWDEBINX > /tmp/debinx.diff
#diff /tmp/OLDDEBINXDIFF /tmp/NEWDEBINXDIFF > /tmp/debinx.diff
less /tmp/debinx.diff
#rm /tmp/OLDDEBINXDIFF
#rm /tmp/NEWDEBINXDIFF
rm /tmp/debinx.diff
echo " "
echo -n "Do you wish to proceed with updates, enter (y)es or (n)o: "
read ans
echo " "
if [ "$ans" == "y" ] || [ "$ans" == "Y" ]; then
:
else
echo "Exiting.."
exit 0
fi
fi
fi

..with DEBINXDIR added at top of script, sorry about that:

Code: [Select]

Of course, the NEWDEBINX/OLDDEBINX also includes the prebuilt packges and also deb2sce startup scripts as well as -data.tar.gz files.  No biggie, I was asked to review the changes and approved them and on testing seemed good.  But that is why I tested with md5sum and opted for the full diff of those files as to any changes, startup script, Debian package, prebuilt package, data files.  So when the md5sum of the NEWDEBINX/OLDDEBINX files differed, the diff could be shown and an update decision made.  Thanks for the streamlining, I am all about making things quicker.  But maybe there is a way to diff those files quicker with the above kept in mind.  I will also look into it.  And thanks for making the diff only created when the user wants to view it.   

[Jason W]

I have an idea that may allow for a clean diff viewing, by separating out the Packages files from the prebuilt, startup script, and data file entries. 

[Jason W]

Ok, I see what you did now, very fast diff creation.  Perhaps by separating out from the main NEWDEBINX the prebuilt, -data.tar.gz, and startup script md5sum files we can list what packages have been changed and if it was prebuilt, -data, or startup script.  I will ponder it.   Uploaded your fix posted here, also some cosmetic changes sent in today.

[Jason W]

Fix to the -p option of sce-import and the -s option of sce-load per sm8ps.

http://tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/release_candidates/

[Jason W]

New RC.  Added the ability to purge unwanted locales that are not listed in a config file during sce-import.  The file is /etc/sysconfig/locale.nopurge, similar in name to the Debian one.  You can enter 1 or 10 or whatever number of locales to preserve during an import session. 

Also, a new config file that is a list of files or dirs to be purged from the resulting SCE.  It is /etc/sysconfig/sce.purge.  Place the names of all files or dirs that are not wanted and sce-import will delete them before creating the final SCE.  Wildcards should be ok, as in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libLLVM* should remove /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libLLVM-3.4.so.1 and/or  /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libLLVM-3.5.so.1 if both or either exist.

And the select menu has been improved, with those that are a loop of choices - sce-update, sce-remove, debGetSceDep - the quit function and selection has been removed, now Enter without a selection is the way to proceed.
