Pkg 0.9.1

#812 Post by sc0ttman »

Pkg 0.9.1 - cmd line pkg manager

Bugfix release. Even if no one wants it ;)

*Currently* this cannot work on a woof based system.
It also therefore, does not work with ubuntu/debian repos with subdirs (/pool/c/cmus/PGKNAME)...
But that will change in the future..

Another current limitation is that only the repo currently in use will be searched for anything... I need to make it search all available repos at various points...

Changelog, #110213, ver 0.9.1:
- fixed auto enable of TAB completion, also updated stuff in /etc..
- fixed --force --uninstall-all,..
- fixed --force --install-all,..
- added --deps-all.. check all installed pkgs and install any missing deps
- added --list-repos.. now search for and list available repos
- fixes for missing repos.. default to akita
- fixed find files and dirs outside WORKDIR..
- added new repos, can use if found..
- added net_check() for downloads, repo updates + convert..
- fixed pkg -n.. faster..
- download pkg fixes in pet2sfs(), deb2pet(),pet2tgz() ..
- each repo sets the pkg exension ($EX)..
- convert a new (woof) format repofile to the old pre-woof format (wont work with ubuntu/debian/other-subdir-using-repo... yet...
- the --deb2* and --pet2* options can now take any file or valid PKGNAME (pkg found in repo)
- fixes in terminal output, and more...

Examples:

pkg -r noarch <-- set to noarch repo
pkg -g pupradio <-- install the latest pupradio

pkg -ps pupradio <-- check the status of pupradio

pkg -a -ua <--- will ask to uninstall each installed package individually

pkg -ea <-- download ALL missing deps of ALL pkgs

pkg -lr <-- list available repos
pkg -r wary51x <-- set to wary5OLD repo

pkg --pet2sfs skype_static-2.1.0.81 <-- download and convert skype

Example1, shows time taken (43 secs) to complete the above command:

Code: Select all

# time pkg --pet2sfs skype_static-2.1.0.81
Download the package: skype_static-2.1.0.81?  (y/n):
Downloading to /root/pkg/skype_static-2.1.0.81.pet. Please wait: 100%
Please wait... building SFS file..
Created '/root/pkg/skype_static-2.1.0.81.sfs' ( 27 MB )

real    0m42.902s
user    0m4.032s
sys     0m0.576s
and then I have a skype SFS, didn't have to do anything :)

Example2: lets download tixati and deps, combine into 1 pkg, and convert to an sfs:

Code: Select all

# time pkg --force --get tixati
Installing tixati..
Download the package: tixati-1.91?  (y/n):
Downloading to /root/pkg/tixati-1.91.pet. Please wait: 100%
Install the package: tixati-1.91?  (y/n):
Package 'tixati-1.91' installed.
Download the missing dependencies?  (y/n):
Downloading dependencies: dbus-glib..
Download the package: dbus-glib-0.82-akita?  (y/n):
Downloading to /root/pkg/dbus-glib-0.82-akita.pet. Please wait: 100%
Install the package: dbus-glib-0.82-akita?  (y/n):
Package 'dbus-glib-0.82-akita' installed.

real    0m24.433s
user    0m1.276s
sys     0m0.520s

Code: Select all

# time pkg --pkg-combine tixati-1.91
Combining tixati-1.91.pet and its dependencies..
Fetching dependencies...
Adding dependencies: dbus-glib..
Creating .pet package..
Package 'tixati-1.91-full' (md5: 2bf0ac109450e3b06182321234eb83af) created in: /root/pkg/
Install with the command:  'pkg -i tixati-1.91-full'

real    0m3.933s
user    0m3.656s
sys     0m0.248s

Code: Select all

# time pkg --pet2sfs tixati-1.91-full
Please wait... building SFS file..
Created '/root/pkg/tixati-1.91-full.sfs' ( 15 MB )

real    0m8.988s
user    0m8.721s
sys     0m0.208s
... that took 3 commands and just under 40 seconds (mostly download time!)... Without the --force option, anything already downloaded is not downloaded again.


To get this working on newer Puppy versions, you'd need to:

- support searching of woof format repo files... then..
- if woof format found in $REPOFILE, get pkg info as usual, inc subdir..
- update the download() func to support repos with pkgs in subdirs.. then..
- update the install() func to extract .deb, .tgz, .txz, .pkg.tar.gz, etc..
- and thats it i think..

Hello sc0ttman,

I am building a PC from scratch. When I get it done, I am right away installing Akita because the hardware in it will be old enough to run it.

EDIT: Also, Akita is my favorite Pup. That is another reason why I will be using it.

Thanks guys glad you like it... I might finally have a go at compiling a new kernel one day, I'm sure it's not that hard... As long as I completely copy someone elses settings who knows what they're doing... Would make sens to compile the kernel that wary 51x used I guess...

Pkg 0.9.something...

#816 Post by sc0ttman »

Pkg 0.9.4 - cmd line pkg manager

..important new features options added.. plus bugfixes...

- set search for pkgs only in current repo, or all repos
- set search for deps in current repo or all
- repo fall-backs: if search for pkg/dep failed, fall back to next best repo until found..
- set ignore repo fall-back lists and get latest dep/package from ANY repo

Changelog:

1. now supports search all repos or only current repo with --repo-pkg-scope, --repo-dep-scope (affects TAB completion, --get, --download, --get-deps, etc)

pkg --set-repo akita
pkg --repo-pkg-scope all <-- search all repos, not just akita repoe
pkg -g freecell <-- should find something not in akita repo

2. supports fallback lists for each repo:

Pkg will search the current repo for PKG, if nothing found, will go to the next repo, and so on... defined at end of lines in '~/pkg/.pkg/sources-all'.. Each repo has its own unique fallback list.. This list gives the order to use when a search fails, and pkg 'falls back' to the next available repo... For example:

Akita="noarch common quirky wary51x wary53x dpup puppy4 slacko lucid puppy3 puppy2 slacko14"
Slacko="slacko14 noarch common wary53x wary51x akita quirky puppy4 puppy3 puppy2"

NOTE: these fallback lists are currently not complete or finished...

3. support disable repo fallbacks with `pkg --bleeding-edge on`

This will return the latest version of PKG from ANY repo, ignoring the fall-back order above...


4. I also added a `pkg --help-all|-H` option which extra help info...

5. I also gave parts of the code a much needed re-think and clean up.. mosty to do with the rcfile and settings repos, sources, etc..

6. support for URL mirrors is almost done, just needs fully implementing..



NOTE: This .pet below is ideally for Akita, but will work on any pre-woof puppy, and comes with some extra repos pre-setup to work, inc: noarch, common, lucid, slacko, slacko14, etc

Please upload your woof format 'Packages-puppy-*' files here, and I can convert them and add them to Pkg... Also including Packages-ubuntu-* and Packages-debian-*, as Pkg cannot yet handle the subdirs, but will soon....

scottman keep up the good work you really got somethin goin with akita
running awsome on old p3 box with nvidia gf5 video card ! like i said i am gonna try some things like a diff kernel i think if it ran on some more recent hardware it would be a plus ! but i also firmly belive that maintaining the old hardware is a must ! 2 versions would be great 1 for old hardware and 1 for a little more recent hardware ! i must say that this is really a great puppy cant wait to see how far you can take it ! keep up the good work and thank you ! :D

Pkg 0.9.5

#818 Post by sc0ttman »

Pkg 0.9.5

Changelog:

- added support for multiple repo URLs (mirrors)
- support for 4 mirrors for each repo (in file ~/pkg/.pkg/sources-all)
- in pkg_download() func, Pkg now pings each repo mirror in turn, and if working, uses it.
- the first URL is used if working, or 2nd, and so on.. so put fastest mirrors first in the 'sources-all' file!
- fixes for check_net func, fixes for calling it
- fixed the errors when you input any bad options

NOTE: the default mirror for all repos (that I know of and added), is the nluug one, as its way faster than ibiblio..

Full help info ( pkg -H ) below:

Code: Select all

------ Pkg 0.9.5 ------ 
			
'Pkg' is a package manager: use it to find, download & install software packages from 
a variety of online sources. Pkg can also help you convert packages, build tar archives,
combine packages, analyse dependencies, and more. 

You can use Pkg in the console or terminal, using TAB completion to complete package 
names from either the current repo, or all repos, depending on your settings,

All files are downloaded to /root/pkg/, and all files that have been converted end up there as 
well. You should ideally move any packages you create to another directory.

Settings for this program are inside the hidden folder '/root/pkg/.pkg/', which holds the info 
of the current repo. This lets you limit searches to that repo only.

By default, 'Pkg' wil search only the current repository unless told to do otherwise.

'Pkg' keeps a list of 'sources'  -all the available repos on your system. You can update your 
sources if they change, or add more. Your 'sources' are in '/root/.packages/', and are 
named 'Packages-puppy-*' or 'livepackages*.txt'

Here are the command line options you can pass to Pkg, with examples at the end.


Usage: pkg [OPTION(S)]

These two options can be used together and MUST precede all other options:
  
  --ask|-a 				ask before fetching & installing pkgs/deps (give as 1st option)
  --force |-f				force downloading, installing and uninstalling, no matter what

These options can be used with --ask and --force, but can't be used with each other:
  
  --get|-g PKGNAME			find, download and install the latest matching package and deps
  --download|-d PKGNAME			download the package from an online repo, if found
  --install|-i PKGNAME			install a local pet package
  --install-all|-ia			install all downloaded packages
  --deps|-e PKGNAME			install the dependencies of the matching package
  --deps-all|-ea			install missing dependencies of all installed packages
  --uninstall|-u PKGNAME		uninstall a pet package
  --uninstall-all|-ua			uninstall all installed packages
  --delete|-l PKGNAME			delete a downloaded package
  --delete-all|-la 			delete ALL downloaded pet packages!
  
 The following options cannot be used with any others:
  
  --all					list all details of all packages in the CURRENT repo
  --search|-s [SEARCH]			find package info in the CURRENT repo, including category, deps, etc..
  --search-all|-sa [SEARCH]		find package info in ALL repos, including category, deps, etc..
  --names|-n [PKGNAME]			list all matching packages in the CURRENT repo
  --names-all|-na [PKGNAME]		list all matching packages in ALL repos
  --names-exact|-ne [PKGNAME]		list all EXACT packages matches in the CURRENT repo
  --names-exact-all|-nea [PKGNAME]	list all EXACT packages matches in ALL repos
  --list-downloaded|-ld [PKGNAME]	list all downloaded packages, pkg name is an optional filter
  --list-installed|-li [PKGNAME]	list all installed packages, pkg name is an optional filter

  --pkg-combine|-pc PKGNAME		build a new package containing PKGNAME + dependencies
  --pkg-status|-ps PKGNAME		print the status of a pkg (name, size, deps, installed or not)
  --pkg-installed|-pi PKGNAME		return true if the package is installed, false if not
  --contents|-c [PKGNAME]		list the contents of a downloaded package
  --which|-w FILENAME			give a filename, find out which pkg it comes from

  --repo|-r REPONAME			set the repo to use, use --list-repos to see whats available
  --repo-info|-ri REPONAME		display the name, URLs and fallback lists of the CURRENT repo
  --list-repos|-lr			list all available package repositories on your system
  --update-repo|-ur			add the latest available packages to the akita repo
  --convert-repo|-cr			convert a Pet-packages-* or livepackages*.txt file to pre/post woof format
  --add-source				add a new repo to your list of available repos (requires relvant repo file /root/.packages/)
  --update-sources			re-check all available repos and update the list
  --repo-pkg-scope one|all		search for packages in either the current repo only (one), or all repos (all)
  --repo-dep-scope one|all		search for package dependencies in either the current repo (one), or all repos (all)
  --bleeding-edge no|yes		if 'no', check for pkg/deps in current repo, then use fallback list (default).. if 'yes', get latest pkgs from ANY repo
  
  --deb2pet DEBFILE|PKGNAME		convert a local deb file or repo package to a pet package
  --pet2sfs PETFILE|PKGNAME		convert a local pet file or repo package to an sfs package
  --pet2tgz PETFILE|PKGNAME		convert a local pet file or repo package to a tar.gz package
  --dir2pet DIR				create a pet package from a directory
  --dir2sfs DIR				create an sfs package from a directory
  --dir2tgz DIR				create an tar.gz file from a directory
  --sfs2pet SFSFILE			convert a local sfs file to a pet package
  --tgz2pet TARFILE			convert a local tar.gz|tgz file to a pet package
  --txz2pet TXZFILE			convert a local tar.xz|txz file to a pet package

  --version|-v				show the version of this script
  --help|-h				show this help information
  --help-all|-H				show a full description, plus this help information  as well

Note: With online repositories, you don't need to give the .pet file extension:
  
  pkg -n SEARCH				list all pkg names in the current repo matching SEARCH
  pkg -a -g filezilla			ask to download latest filezilla and ask to get all deps
  pkg -a -la				ask to delete all downloaded packages
  pkg -a -e PKGNAME			install all deps of PKGNAME, ask each time
  pkg -a -d qupzilla-1.2.0		ask to download qupzilla-1.2.0
  pkg -g filezilla			download latest filezilla and all deps without asking
  pkg -la				delete all downloaded packages without asking!
  pkg -e PKGNAME			install all deps of PKGNAME, dont ask anything
  pkg -d qupzilla-1.3.1			download qupzilla-1.3.1 without asking
  pkg -l qupzilla-1.3.1			delete the downloaded qupzilla-1.3.1

Note: To install or convert local packages or folders, you must give the path (and filename):

  pkg --dir2sfs /path/to/dir/		convert a local directory to a .sfs package
  pkg -i /path/to/file.pet		install the given pet package.. include the .pet extension!
  pkg --tgz2pet /path/to/file.tar.gz	convert a local .tar.gz file to .pet package

  If using --pet2sfs, --pet2tgz or --deb2pet, you  can also give a valid PKGNAME, 
  and it'll be downloaded if needed, before being converted.

Note: If the package is 'downloaded' (in /root/pkg), you won't need to give the path, 
only the filename. To check if PKGNAME is downloaded, just enter: 

  pkg -ld PKGNAME

Hi Scottman, first time with Akita. Manual frugal install. M processor, 250Ram, and so far doing everything I've asked of it... installed Chrome and Opera, Sylpheed.

One problem, how do I get a volume control on the task bar in jwm?? I can't figure it out. (Not too bright).

Thanks for this, enjoying it. I can see you've put a lot into it.

Thanks, glad you like it... I did put a lot of time into Akita, but its my one and only OS, so I upgrade it as needed/desired...

Use 'Retrovol'... in Menu->Multimedia->Media ..

You can make it startup at every boot using the 'Startups' tool, in Menu->System->Schedule ... This tool can help you choose what you want to startup each boot...

Note: you can also do all this from the "Akita Setup" program that loads up at first boot - just click on 'sound settings', and on 'startups'...

Yeah, I do like it. And I like it even more now I have a volume control. :D I should have looked harder. Looking good. Thanks for the quick reply.

I'd be delighted if you got OpenGL working in that build... It's the only thing I seem to have problems with when I make a version with a newer kernel - the DRI/OpenGL stuff usually never works... I specifically chose a wary kernel that already had nvidia and ati drivers compiled for it, but still no go... If yours has working OpenGL I'd love to know how you did it...

EDIT: If you upload your build somewhere, or each of the steps you took to build it, I'd like to test it myself actually...

Hello sc0ttman :D
Are you using a Woof build of your own, or the latest Woof2?
I need to know this because if it's the first, Akita would need its own langpack made from scratch, but if it's the second, the current langpacks can be used in Akita.

the shortest answer: It needs a new lang pack... Where you find the latest versions of a puppy app in akita, it is localized in the usual way.. half of each langpack will work..

I updated many apps as puppy did, and so have various programs that are 'up to date' in terms of their localization in puppy - programs such as FFConvert, Grub4dosConfig, etc .. Others are customised in akita..

It's a pre woof, pup4 build, now using wary 51x glibc etc, so utf-8 is working. I manually added many translations, with help from some great guys on this forum, many of these are not gettext'd, see in /usr/share/locale/*/.. and you'll see *.locale files - just text files ... The files that have matching *.locale files in /usr/share/locale/ are probably unique to akita, or heavily customised in akita ..

Akita does have an older version of momanager, and some of the required stuff, (I think it works, ) .. but Akita still uses Shinobars old Puppy-Desktop-NLS package to translate parts of the desktop..


Extra info, not important:

Akita if not a woof build, its pre woof.. It was TurboPup (a 4.2 puplet), and long story short, it's now the same old pre-woof, k2.6.25.16 puppy, but I updated everything in it, mostly using the contents of Wary 51x ... The devx is from Wary 514 or something..

copy akita main sfs file off of cd to hard drive
use sfs converter to conver the copied akita sfs to sfs 4
install pizzasgoods sfs editer
obtain tmans solidpup iso "its based on wary 5.1" = i thought it would be a good choice "
open akita sfs with sfs editer delete ect/module folder and lib/module
folder
insert solidpup iso in cd drive use ect/module folder copy it to same place in akita sfs do the same with lib/module folder and add the firmware folder from lib/ firmware also
build sfs
then put the new sfs where you want home to be on hard drive
rename it to wary_511.sfs
and boot solidpup cd puppy will use the sfs on harddrive automaticly

No sound after loading Akita 14

#828 Post by LoboGrande »

Downloaded Akita 14 and ran it from disk. Every thing seems to work okay my old P3-1.4 Tualatin on an Asus Tuv4x mobo. I was running Akita 11 on it. I've seem to have lost the sound on both distro's on it. I ran Wary 5.3 off of disk and the sound system works. I opened Retrovol and checked the volume levels. The VLC front end disappears right after you hit the play button. Opened up the process manager and it says VLC is still running. Any hints?

First... Try setting the Video out to X11 instead of Xvideo (or vice vera, cant remember)... Although if the video out is not supported by ur Xorg module (vesa) then VLC-GTK will do that automatically anyway... But worth a try ...

As for the sound, nothing has changed except the multiple sound card wizard has been updated in v14... Maybe try running it and see if it helps fix/break your sound issues...

Do you get sound in Mocp or other apps?

EDIT: You might also make /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa non executable, and see how that goes... The only other thing in Akita that might differ from other older pups, is in /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown, search '#20120408' and comment out the alsa-ctl/alsa-restore stuff...

Or .. dumb suggestion, but might help, maybe try ticking all the boxes in retrovol - aside from the master and PCM, the 'Front' box also needs to be ticked on one of my PCs, but not on the others.. different pups name things differently in retrovol..

Maybe try the mplayer in the akita repo... VLC has always worked better for me, but might not be the case for you..

Just type `pkg -g mplayer` in the terminal and mplayer_gui will be downloaded and installed for you...

desktop refresh

#830 Post by KJ »

I did a search of this string and could not find that anyone else has this strange problem which I experience with B11, B13, B14. The problem is a flashing "refresh desktop" notification about every 7 seconds. I only see this problem on Akita betas.

Background: All beta have been ran in the same hardware. I have at least a dozen other Puppies including the original 420 Xtreme. a 216CE and several 5 series pups that load and run fine. All your betas have been ran from 2fs formatted USB flash-drives using grub4dos and just the five basic files; initrd.gz, vmlinux, pup_420.sfs, zdrv_420.sfs. and a save file. B11 sits on it's own partition (four other partitions on that 4-GB flash). B13 andB14 sit on a flash with a 16-GB shared partition with several other puppies.

Thanks .... hope you have some idea of a solution. KJ
