dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > dCore X86

sce-import can't customize sce

(1/4) > >>

Hi good day, I have a problem, I'm trying to create a customized sce file for dCore, with _ONLY_ the deb packages I want.

I have 50 .deb packages in the right position, (/tce/import/debs) and the Index file (/tce/ubuntu_utopic_main_i386_Packages) all ok, and my_file with the 50 packages names inside.
Then I run the command:
sce-import -r -p -l my_file
Then it asks if I want the list from my_file, yes.
Then start gathering dependencies.
Then it finishes and asks me to see the packages.
I expect to see _ONLY_ the packages I wrote in my_file.
Instead it shows me my packages, plus, all the dependencies too!
I do NOT want those dependencies!
I spent hours in cleaning and cutting out exactly those dependencies away, because I don't need them!
I want to create a .sce, built _ONLY_ of the 50 .deb packages I wrote in my_file - no dependencies!

How can I do that? Thanks :)

Hi

I am not sure a 'no dependencies' option would be of general use but perhaps a script to create a directory of .debs into an SCE would.  The original deb2tcz took a deb and made it to an extension, it would be doable to have a script that would allow a set of debs to be made into an sce.   I will ponder it some more.

dicorer:
So your answer is: not possible - right?

The list of debs used is already into the sce, look at /usr/local/sce.
Instead, I indeed would strongly suggest a new "no-dependencies" option, for the "non-general" users.
I spent lots of time in optimizing those debs, specially so to remove the useless ones dragged up by dependencies... now it all seems just a waste of time
..ps.. also it seems me pretty useless (and counter-producing) sce-import still connecting to the repositories of Tinycore and Ubuntu, when using the option "-p".
Since we have already all needed debs and the Index file, correctly there, localy in place

Jason W:
I said I would ponder it.   And it would not be much to add a no dependencies option, I see where that could be useful for special deployments.

But may I suggest what really is counter productive is in only your second post to this forum call the current system "useless" and basically accuse me of wasting your time.  If you review the forum and git changelog, you will see that almost every suggestion that has been brought up has been implemented unless there is a technical reason otherwise. 

dicorer:
I don't think the system is useless, I would never spend time on it if it were!
I mainly complain about all those dependency debs, which I worked hours of analysis to select and get rid of.

Nevermind.
Where can I dl the source code package for sce-import ? I'll do that mod myself,  thanks :)
