Title: Some oddities re. firmware extensions
Post by: maro on May 25, 2011, 01:41:17 AM: 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-*)?

Post by: Jason W on May 31, 2011, 12:03:59 PM: 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.

Post by: maro on June 01, 2011, 07:51:21 PM: 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?

Post by: maro on June 06, 2011, 08:48:31 PM: 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.

Post by: Jason W on June 06, 2011, 09:53:42 PM: 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.

Post by: roberts on June 06, 2011, 10:19:34 PM: 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.
Title: Re: Some oddities re. firmware extensions
Post by: roberts on June 06, 2011, 11:19:33 PM: As I expected an adjustment to rsync on ibiblio. Shoud be fine now.

Post by: maro on June 07, 2011, 01:37:38 AM: Yep, confirmed it is all good now!!

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