Now, /tmp/builtin supports SCE extensions as well as .gz images.  SCE is the preferred format in any case of a package or collection that has been imported with sce-import.

Hi
PKGEXCLUDELISTCUSTOM works, thank you very much Jason

[Jason W]

dCore x86 release candidate ports have been updated with the below changes:

Now not deleting specified list file if the -l option is used when the answer is no when prompted if you want to use that list file.  Instead just deleting the file placeholder in /tmp and then importing as if no list file was used.  But if the answer is no to do you want to use a list file whether specified or already existing in the SCE directory, then upon completion of import an existing .lst file belonging to the package in the SCE directory will be deleted as it is no longer valid.  An existing specified list file outside the SCE directory may want to be used in future import sessions even if not used in the current one.

If a package name being imported only exists in the PKGADDDEP dependency list on our server but is not available in Debian/Ubuntu or in our prebuilt section the user is now informed of that and prompted to continue.  Several packages that don't exist in a particular dCore port I have imported and spent a little time wondering why the app was not available after loading the SCE.  virtualbox in dCore-stretch as well as firefox in dCore-wheezy when only iceweasel was available are a couple of examples.

dCore x86 release candidate ports have been updated with the below changes:

sce-load now uses Busybox cp as at was found with dCore-wheezy some SCEs were broken in a minimal environment as the cp binary from coreutils was in some cases copied to the filesystem before its supporting libraries were copied, resulting in a broken cp command and  incomplete copy of the SCE.   This did not seem to happen with other dCore x86 ports.

Also, the -KERNEL variable is now being used for dependencies regarding kernel module packages.  This is like standard Core behavior and helps with some packages to just work on intsall.

dCore x86 release candidate ports have been updated with the below changes:

Now an adding or removing of dependencies from the dependency lists will trigger an update check during sce-update as it now creates changes in the NEWDEBINX file.  Also, fixed a bug in sce-import handling of the package exclude list when there is an empty first line.

dCore x86 release candidate ports have been updated with the below changes:

Now if a dependency is added or removed on our server for a package, it will cause the SCE to be updated during sce-update.  The previous change simply was that an added or removed dependency triggered an update check.  Also, more relevent information about package updates in regards to added or removed deps is included in /tmp/updateavailable during an sce-update session.  The Recommends and Suggests option of sce-import has been done away with.  Trimming those fields from the DEBINX data leaves the files roughly 5% to 10% smaller.  This will increase performance during sce-import and sce-update.

dCore x86 release candidate ports have been updated with the below changes:

Udev rules changed to create /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd symlinks to the relevant devices. 

New files:

etc/udev/rules.d/60-cdrom_id.rules

dCore x86 release candidate ports have been updated with the below changes:

Added better error reporting to sce-import and sce-update, stored in /tmp/sceimporterror and /tmp/sceupdateerror.

dCore x86 release candidate ports have been updated with the below changes:

When (v)iew, (n)o, and (q)uit are prompted for in a dialogue, either the first letter or the whole word now can be entered.
Also bugfix to sce-update, copying NEWDEBINX to OLDDEBINX instead of deleting it so 'sce-import -p' works as expected after sce-update.
