Take a look at /usr/bin/updates_mgr in the latest slacko. You may want to extend that to handle the puppy repos too.
The package version is the the 3rd field in package specs and *-installed-packages so

Code: Select all

{echo,cat,while} $LINE |  cut -f 3 -d '|'

will give you the package version and then you can use vercmp to compare them.

I wrote some more code.
How can I continue?

Please write your tips here!

Thank you for all!

When I use Update in Puppy Package manager, It has to convert the lists to Puppy format for display. And in selecting repositories, old versions of Puppy are included in the update process. So... Can the Update script be rewritten to allow for exclusion of some of the repositories?
Having updates done for the 3 and 4 versions of Puppy seems to be overkill.

Thank you, 8-bit!
I've updated my script.

There's still a question:

How can I create a loop for this code block?
I'd like to check all applications in my /tmp/packages-install file.

Code: Select all

FIRST=$(head -n 1 /tmp/packages-install | cut -d\| -f 1)
version=$(head -n 1 /tmp/packages-install | cut -d\| -f 2)
ausgabegrep=$(grep -n -w $FIRST /tmp/packages-puppy-*)
file=$(echo $ausgabegrep | cut -d ':' -f 1)
if [ $file == "/tmp/packages-puppy-4" ]; then
filedirectory="/root/.packages/Packages-puppy-5-official"
elif [ $file == "/tmp/packages-puppy-5" ]; then
filedirectory="/root/.packages/Packages-puppy-slacko-official"
elif [ $file == "/tmp/packages-puppy-6" ]; then
filedirectory="/root/.packages/Packages-puppy-slacko14-official"
elif [ $file == "/tmp/packages-puppy-7" ]; then
filedirectory="/root/.packages/Packages-puppy-common-official"
elif [ $file == "/tmp/packages-puppy-8" ]; then
filedirectory="/root/.packages/Packages-puppy-noarch-official"
else
fehler=$(echo $ausgabegrep | cut -d ':' -f 3)
echo "File wasn't found"
fi

All lines must be checked.

Time for some reading
You also may want to look at some PPM scripts too.

There are nearly hundred lines of code now!

Look on Github!

How can I compare the versions?

How can I compare the versions?

what versions?
you can see your commits in https://github.com/linuscl/updatepuppy/commits/master or locally with

Code: Select all

git show <commit hash>

to go to a "version" (ie previous commit) you can use git checkout or reset.

How can I compare the versions?

Use "git diff".

Something goes wrong in my script...

Some packages will be installed twice..

Look at the source!

I hope you can find the error
