Core v17.1beta1

[Juanito]

Team Tiny Core is pleased to announce that Tiny Core 17.1 Beta1 is available for public testing:

http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/17.x/x86/release_candidates/distribution_files
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/17.x/x86_64/release_candidates/distribution_files

This is an beta level cut. If you decide to help test, then please test carefully. We don't want anyone to lose data.

We appreciate testing and feedback.

Changelog for 17.1 beta1:
* update kernel to 6.18.35
* update zsync - thanks to @GNUser

Note that you will need the updated kernel module extensions from the appropriate repo - it is probably better to download the ones you need prior to updating rootfs*gz, modules*gz and vmlinuz* and rebooting.

Hi Juanito. Going to third decimal place in the TCL version breaks the  getMajorVer  and  getMirror  functions in /etc/init.d/tc-functions:

Code: [Select]

$ . /etc/init.d/tc-functions
$ getFullVer
17.1.1
$ getMajorVer
17.1
$ getMirror
$ echo $MIRROR
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/17.1.x/x86_64/tcz # correct mirror should be http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/17.x/x86_64/tczI ran into this issue in the past and proposed a fix. I'll try to find it in the forum.

EDIT: I couldn't find what I proposed before, but something like this would work:

Code: [Select]

getMajorVer() {
getFullVer | grep -Eo '^[0-9]+'
}

[Juanito]

Hmm - think I’ll make it 7.1 then - it could also cause problems elsewhere..

I’ll fix things tomorrow.

Version adjusted from 17.1.1 -> 17.1

Version number corrected in posts above

Thanks, Juanito. getMajorVer and getMirror work as expected now

Ah!
Just notice this release.
Big thanks already.

I will test whether it improves 17.0 on my strange issue https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=28078.msg183019#msg183019

I’m now out, I will do as of Thursday.
