Tiny Core 3.0 Alpha 7 Testing

<< < (5/7) > >>

curaga:
Hmm, looks like qt-4.x now depends on Xorg itself (and doesn't mention that in the dep file). Added for now.

@Mike: do you by any chance store tinycore.gz/microcore.gz in your tce dir?

robc:
the libEGL in the Xorg extension seems to be critical to many applications to run, should it be included within the base rather then in the Xorg extension, or in the Xorg-libs extension instead?

MikeLockmoore:
@ curaga: Yes, for testing Alpha6 and Alpha7, I made my boot kernel directory, TCE directory, and restore directory all the same, and specify each one explicitly in the GRUB boot stanza.  Is it better to keep them separate?

I'd vote for the second option, moving libEGL from Xorg-7.5.tcz to Xorg-7.5-libs.tcz.

libEGL.so is about 50kb in size, Xorg-7.5.tcz takes about 10MB, Xorg-7.5-libs.tcz 180kB. Moving it would drop the need for "the fat thing" Xorg-7.5.tcz for any application that uses libEGL.so, like in my case qt-4.x-base.tcz, and the result of 200kB to 230kB would be a quick load, especially compared to the 10MB of Xorg-7.5.tcz.

Xorg-7.5.tcz itself has a dependency on Xorg-7.5-libs.tcz, so there's no case where libEGL.so would not be loaded when installing Xorg-7.5.tcz.

curaga:
@EGL: since it's a Khronos lib for interfacing with OpenGL and OpenVG, any actual functions of it would likely fail without Xorg. Doesn't seem to depend directly on libGL though. I'll sleep on it.

@Mike: I believe storing the main gz in the tce dir is what causes that (or any other files ending in .gz). If you can confirm that, then we should probably document that somewhere.
