Thanks partsman, Pkg works well for me at least and it's much much faster than using the standard PPM.. I know it could be made faster as well... by a better coder!partsman wrote:HELLO Sc0ttman !
very impressive ! wonderful job! I only got to play around with pkgdialog
a little bit but seems to work wonderful Looking forward to Akita 15 but THIS IS GREAT THANK YOU ! I will be playing with
pkgdialog some more I will report back if any issues ! I do have a question I never tried it but do you need devx sfs installed ? mine was but just wondering thanks again ! for all you do for puppy cause
You only need the devx installed to compile (build) stuff, but Pkg will print an error about this if it's not present.
I've made many changes and improvements to Pkg in the last few days, including the ability to install/uninstall/delete/search for/etc many pkgs at once, just encase the pkgs in double quotes:
Code: Select all
pkg -g "firefox mplayer tixati"
Code: Select all
pkg -s "office printing"
So before releasing Akita 15, I plan to change Pkgdialog so that the list of packages is a checklist - cos then users will be able to choose multiple packages to install/download/delete/etc in one go, using both Pkg and Pkgdialog...
Also, because I have so nicely (IMHO) integrated SFS-Installer, Pkg, Buildpet and Pkgdialog, I was thinking about allowing Akita users to automatically upload the compiled and combined pets and sfs packages they build with Pkg, to a 'contrib' akita repo... But I already compiled, combined and uploaded most of them myself, so didn't bother...
