python.tczl

[Jason W]

Yes, for both python and python-minimal.  Paths now are identical as in tce format.

[Juanito]

..but the python.tczl version I just downloaded does not have a user.tar.gz?

[Jason W]

I downloaded now and installed the python.tczl I uploaded a couple of days ago and it has the user.tar.gz:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ ls /tmp/tcloop/python/
user.tar.gz  usr/
tc@box:~$


Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ python

It seems ok here.  Are you using the ibiblio mirror?  If not maybe the others have not synced yet.

[Juanito]

Finally got it - I must have downloaded the file 6 or 7 times over the last 3-4 days before getting the user.tar.gz version this morning.

..and now the hplip hp-* work

You have to reboot before it shows up.  Is there a way to unpack a tcz? 

[Juanito]

Code: [Select]

$ mkdir /tmp/test
$ sudo mount /tmp/python.tczl /test/test -o loop

[jpeters]

thanks

Is that an open directory? /usr/local/bin
Are all the test files necessary?   (673 tests, 9.5M)

At the time I made the python extension last July, being unfamiliar with python, I had erred on the side of leaving in rather than taking out.  I can move the test files to the -dev extension as I don't delete any part of a package except for man pages and docs so the package is fully available.  I will do that when I get time, maybe in a week or so.

[jpeters]

I'm guessing they're from 'make test'  Did you test before 'make install' ?

[Jason W]

Here is the build script that was used:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/tce/src/python-2.5.2/python-2.5.2.tcbuild

Python is due an update, more pruning and seperation can occur when it is updated. 

[jpeters]

I ran the tests after doing a new build.  Looks good.  I think they can be deleted.  I thought they might get
deleted after running the tests, but guess not.    

281 tests OK.

What version are you building?  If it is an updated version I would appreciate if you would submit it.  Trimming the current version would be ok too, but it would be nice to have an update, which I was planning here soon but time is tight.  If the resulting python.tcel is around 2MB we can basically do away with the minimal version as 2mb is very close in size to the minimal.  If we stay with the 2.x series it should be compatible with our current python dependent extensions, but we can test and see to make sure.

[jpeters]

I built the same version. The only difference was that  I ran make tests (it didn't seem to need the pkconf flags).  If anything, it created more test files, like 1625 files related to some kind of test.  (I did a quick grep..maybe I have some multiple counts...).

Using tcz-uninstall didn't stop the 'man' conflict either, even after rebooting xdesktop.  For now, I'll load python only  when I need it.

Updated python working well with tinycore_2.4rc4
