sce-import doesn't ask for deps even I have DEPS=TRUE in sceconfig

Hi

Code: [Select]

jls@box:~$ cat /etc/sysconfig/sceconfig
# Use KEEPDOC=TRUE to keep /usr/share/doc and /usr/share/man
# directories in sce's. Useful for the man command form the
# man-db package.
KEEPDOC=FALSE

# Use RAM=TRUE to use RAM to unpack the contents of packages used
# when making an SCE.  Particularly useful for flash devices.
RAM=TRUE

# Use DEPS=TRUE to make use of chosen existing SCEs as dependencies
# of the imported one.
DEPS=TRUE

# Use SIZE=TRUE for the displaying of the sizes of needed RAM, HD
# space and download when importing.
SIZE=FALSE

# Use UPDATE=TRUE to get updated Packages files from main and extra repos
# on each invocation of importsce.  Default and overrides the PRESERVEDEBINXMODE
 option.
UPDATE=TRUE

# Keep .lst and .dep files of SCEs removed by removesce.  Useful for
# future re-importing.
KEEPLIST=FALSE

# Below is for the non-interactive use of importsce.  If package name exists,
# then no further action is needed by the user for a complete import.
NONINTERACTIVE=TRUE

# For not re-syncing new Packages files of the main or other repos.
# For better performance.

same with -pd

Ok, I will look into it.

With DEPS=TRUE at the beginning of /etc/sysconfig/sceconfig and issuing "sce-import advancecomp" I don't see this issue, a menu of SCE deps to choose from appears.  There is no advancecomp.sce* in my SCE dir.

[jls]

Is it maybe the non interactive mode?

[Jason W]

You're right.   But with non-interactive mode I remember had by design only let it use an existing .dep file if it was found.

If DEPS=TRUE, then if no .dep is found we can then have the select menu pop up.  But then it is not really non-interactive, but if there is not enough space and the -s option is used it bypasses non-interactive also.  One of the switches has to be put in lesser priority then.    Since if the -d or DEPS=TRUE option is used, one expects to use deps regardless of other switches selected.

I will make the menu pop up in non-interactive mode if no existing .dep file is found.

[Jason W]

Fixed in the latest release candidate.

[Jason W]

Here are my thoughts on the DEP option.  No one wants to have every SCE they import depend on something, so no real need to have it in sceconfig.  Having it as we do now makes "sce-update -an" not work as expected and stop at a menu to select deps for every SCE that has no dep file.  Which is against expected behavior.  I can either impose the -z option of ignoring sceconfig and select a set of options I feel should be default for sce-update -an, or I can remove the DEP field from sceconfig.  And there will be folks who wish to use sceconfig during sce-import when called by sce-update with their own optoins to complete without needing interaction - size, ram, etc..
 
To me, there is no need for DEP in sceconfig as it will be used on occasion by the command line when wanting to change or add a .dep file of an SCE.  This would be the best and least intrusive solution.

I will wait for feedback before making this reverting to the previous state and removing the DEP option from sceconfig.

Reverted in latest RC as there was no objection.
