Latest announcement indicates lock file removed. Has the concept been abandoned or just require re-work, i think it's a good idea.

Has been reinstated in my testing which I have also uncovered what hopefully is one of the final bugs in sce-update which I am going to fix this evening.  Yeah, I think it is a good idea because no matter what the experience level, one may have a long running sce-import or sce-update session in another desktop or terminal unware, and another sce-import or sce-update will ruin both while the is still running.  Will be in the next RC.

Preliminary lockout test good. Running  sce-update -a  in first terminal window, open another to run sce-import:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ sce-import
Another SCE utility is presently in use, exiting..

Haen't tried the other way around yet, will report any issues otherwise probably good.

Another counter-productive command worthy of lock-out during import or update might be  sce-debpurge -a  .

[edit] Worked well the other way around too, thanks.

I have added this to sce-debpurge just before I saw this, as I am now moving deb2sce.tar.gz and it's extracted files to the DEBINX directory.

sce-debpurge was locked out while running sce-update -a, looks good, thanks.

With new RC sce-debpurge is now locked out nicely when running sce-update or sce-import, thanks.
