Some oddities re. firmware extensions

[maro]

I've stumbled over two smaller issues when I did:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ search.sh firmware && cat info.lst
firmware-ipw2100.tcz
firmware-ipw2200.tcz
firmware-iwlwifi.tcz
firmware-libertas.tcz
firmware-openfwwf.tcz
firmware-wimax.tcz
firmware.tcz
ipw2200.tcz
lshw.tcz
openfwwf.tcz
wireless_tools.tcz
zd1211-firmware.tcz
tc@box:~$ tce-fetch.sh ipw2200.tcz
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
tc@box:~$
(1) Why is the (now non-existent) 'ipw2200.tcz' extension still listed when it was (presumably) renamed to 'firmware-ipw2200.tcz'?
(2) Would it not make more sense to also rename 'zd1211-firmware.tcz' to 'firmware-zd1211.tcz' (i.e. have all firmware extensions be called firmware-*)?

I had renamed the ipw2200.tcz to firmware-ipw2200.tcz to follow a standard naming of firmware-*, as that makes the firmware stuff easier to find. 

The zd1211-firmware.tcz would be good to rename to bring it in line also, and then all firmware follow the same standard.  Given that, I will rename it tonight.

Great to see that all firmware extensions are now called 'firmware-*'. But as the following little test shows the old extension names are still appearing in the 'search.sh' output (which was sort point (1) of my OP):
    tc@box:~$ cat /opt/tcemirror
    http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/
    tc@box:~$ search.sh firmware && cat info.lst
    firmware-ipw2100.tcz
    firmware-ipw2200.tcz
    firmware-iwlwifi.tcz
    firmware-libertas.tcz
    firmware-openfwwf.tcz
    firmware-wimax.tcz
    firmware-zd1211.tcz
    firmware.tcz
    ipw2200.tcz
    lshw.tcz
    openfwwf.tcz
    wireless_tools.tcz
    zd1211-firmware.tcz
    tc@box:~$ tce-fetch.sh ipw2200.tcz
    wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
    tc@box:~$ tce-fetch.sh zd1211-firmware.tcz
    wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
    tc@box:~$

Any chance to ensure that 'search.sh' does not list any non-existing (or not any more existing) extensions?

[Jason W]

I think I see what caused it in this case, .and those entries appear to be fixed.

Jason: I'm sorry to continue to pester you with this, but I don't think the issue is resolved:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ cat /opt/tcemirror ; rm -f info.lst ; search.sh firmware && cat info.lst
http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/
firmware-ipw2100.tcz
firmware-ipw2200.tcz
firmware-iwlwifi.tcz
firmware-libertas.tcz
firmware-openfwwf.tcz
firmware-wimax.tcz
firmware-zd1211.tcz
firmware.tcz
ipw2200.tcz
lshw.tcz
openfwwf.tcz
wireless_tools.tcz
zd1211-firmware.tcz

This shows that the two renamed extensions (i.e. 'ipw2200.tcz' and 'zd1211-firmware.tcz') are still showing up in the search result.

It's ok, you are not pestering me at all, but I am not normally involved in the search or appbrowser functions.  Though I will see if I can help pinpoint what is going on and help find the issue.

[roberts]

Nothing wrong with search function of appbrowser.
Likely the rsync of info files to the cgi sever needs to be adjusted on ibibilio, as --delete's are apparently not working.

[roberts]

As I expected an adjustment to rsync on ibiblio. Shoud be fine now.

[maro]

Yep, confirmed it is all good now!!

And my thanks to Robert and Jason to chase even these little details.
