Title: Source of wbar
Post by: amplefiction on February 25, 2026, 05:08:08 AM

In TC 17.0, wbar.tcz.info indicates:

Code: [Select]

Version:        2.3.0-3
Original-site:  http://code.google.com/wbar/
However this URL now gives a 404. There is https://code.google.com/archive/p/wbar/downloads (https://code.google.com/archive/p/wbar/downloads) which offers tarballs (no version control).

The project homepage has a link to https://github.com/rodolf0/wbar (https://github.com/rodolf0/wbar) but:

• there are no releases / tags
• the main branch is a rewrite using evas instead of imlib2
• the v2.0 branch last commit is 1 year older than the tarballs on the other site

Where does the wbar source code used in TC 17.0 come from?

It looks like the source is here: http://tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86_64/tcz/src/wbar/

Hi Juanito
Actually, it's not.
5.x/x86_64/tcz/src/wbar/wbar-2.3.0-3.txz  is a link to  4.x/x86/tcz/src/wbar/wbar-2.3.0-3.txz
which is no longer on the server. I'll upload a copy from my backup.

Ah - I guess that'll teach me to look on the server rather than the web site  :(

Hi Juanito
The version found here:
http://tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86_64/tcz/src/wbar/
is 2.3.0-3 which matches what I have on TC10 x86 and TC14 x86_64:

Code: [Select]

tc@E310:~$ wbar --version
Version of wbar 2.3.0The source package for that is dated Oct 25, 2012 with a size of 322668 bytes.

There is another version here:
http://tinycorelinux.net/5.x/armv6/tcz/src/wbar-2.3.4.tgz
that is dated Nov 4, 2013 with a size of 189999 bytes.
This is the only copy of that version on the server. I don't
have backup copies of any of the PiCore repos.

Does PiCore run a different version of wbar?

Hi Juanito
I added  armv6/tcz/src/wbar-2.3.4.tgz  to my backup copy of
the 5.x repo just in case it's still needed.

On piCore64:

Code: [Select]

wbar --version
Version of wbar 2.3.0

I don't have access to an RPi running piCore at the moment to check.

Hi Juanito
Well that matches my x86/x86_64 hardware.

I suspect the armv6/tcz/src/wbar-2.3.4.tgz was saved but never
incorporated.

Hi Juanito
I didn't see that coming. :o
