search tcz/src source for build scripts (rsync)

[mocore]

 happy source hunting

 

Code: [Select]


 find_src() {

 search_string=${1-w3m} # eg

 def_arch=${2-x86} # x86_64 or x86

 rsync -R --list-only repo.tinycorelinux.net::tc/*.x/x86/tcz/src/ | grep "$search_string"

 # tce-load -iwl rsync
 }


    [Edit]: Changed  /*.x/86/tcz/  to  /*.x/x86/tcz/.  Rich

... the tinycore repository structure has (imho) become less obvious to discover
as  browsers dropped support for ftp , and info.lst became the directory index
though the ibiblio mirror is still 'browse-able' via http

so the above function simplifies  finding previous source's & build notes

as previously stated @ https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,27148.msg174366.html#msg174366 (though it seams worth repeating hear )

 

Many extensions have scripts to build them from source,

all though

If you don't  see the source it probably has not changed since the previous release, so look in the download area of previous releases.

Hi yiyus
Source packages are in the  src/  directory under  the  tcz/  directory in the repositories. For example:

Code: [Select]

http://tinycorelinux.net/4.x/x86/tcz/src/
http://tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/tcz/src/
http://tinycorelinux.net/6.x/x86/tcz/src/If you need to get to TC2 or TC3 sources:

Code: [Select]

http://tinycorelinux.net/2.x/tcz/src/
http://tinycorelinux.net/3.x/tcz/src/

Hi mocore
In case anyone sees this in the future, the TC2 and TC3
directories were removed to free up space on the server.

 thanks rich! ...

 if u get the chance could you substitute /x86/ for /$arch/ in the (hastily posted) function above plz

Hi mocore
Change made. Check to make sure I got it right.
