Title: Where is the listing of all Core packages?
Post by: Holmes.Sherlock on May 21, 2012, 01:53:45 AM
I wanted to install SSH to my Core installation. I issued

Code: [Select]
tcs-load -wi ssh.tcz

which return an error that no such TCZ package exists.

How do I know the EXACT names of the packages beforehand?
Use the terminal command "ab"

Can I build my own TCZ package if one does not exist?
Yes, please see the extensions section of the wiki

..and I guess you're looking for openssh.tcz

When I search for the package using the search keyword as 'ssh', other two modules are listed but not 'openssh'.

Sorry, when I "Searched" using 'ssh', 2 packages were listed, but using the "Keywords" options, 11 packages were listed.

What is the difference between 'ab' options:

  • Search
  • Provides
  • Keyword

Search looks for extension names
Provides looks for files contained in extensions
Keyword looks for tags the extension maker put in the info file

Probably the command line tool 'ab' queries this file or files like this.
