Unstable feed

[CoreyC]

PMF as uploaded a TON of apps to the unstable feed.  There are now almost 200 ipks between the 2 feeds.  Wow...

[ScottYelich]

has anyone thought of doing a \"ports\" like script for the sdk?

ie: youhave a list/menu/dir-tree of apps, you cd into a dir and type make or make install --
it goes and gets the source from the primary loation and/or secondary (at cacko/spy?)
and then applies any zaurus related patches, etc.

ie: it\'s great that people compile stuff, but look at things like xnethack.  It\'s compiled for
the x11 rom and it doesn\'t (seem to) work under pdaxrom -- although this could just
be a font issue -- it makes me think.

ps: off to mirror ...

It would be nice if the ipk feed could be sorted by date!  It is becoming very difficult to see what\'s new...

I hit last modified in http://www.pdaxrom.org/unstable -- in a browser....

I wish there was a way to mirror the files:  wget -nd -m ... seems to work... mostly. but it gets a lot of
junk files.  most of the time I tend to copy the files manually. :-/

I know this stuff is \"unstable\", but would it make sense to not have stuff on the pdaXrom feeds unless at least it\'s been assembled and tested on the pdaXrom? For instance, the hnb pmf has uploaded expects to find rxvt on the system - fine that can be edited to aterm or whatever in the /home/root/.hnbconf file.

But then it expects to find libncurses.so.4. Well, it accepts having the libncurses.so.5 symlinked to that, but then it turns out that changing rxvt to aterm in .hnbconf hasn\'t done the trick - it\'s hard coded for rxvt. We don\'t have rxvt for pdaxrom. Even symlinking aterm to rxvt doesn\'t get around this failure to load.

So what do people think? Is it distinctly uncool to upload ipks to the pdaxrom feeds if they aren\'t at least tested on a pdaXrom system first? That would be my vote. We know where to find feeds with plenty of stuff that\'s unlikely to really work. Just shovelling it onto pdaXrom makes it harder to sort out, since we have to start paying attention to who put it there, and what their personal standards for testing stuff first are.

You failed to

Code: [Select]

export TERM=xterm-color, as described here.

But then it expects to find libncurses.so.4.

Huh?

Code: [Select]

{/usr/bin/}# strings hnb | grep libncurses

libncurses.so.5
for version 1.9.18; did you install an older version?

Truly, but that would make it think it has rxvt? Odd error message then.

Nope, straight off the feed. Odd.

In order to see the latest files you can use the \"order by:updated\" - i added it yesterday so many files are dated similar - im sorry, but that was the \"quick-solution\". Sadly it wasn\'t working ok - so i just fixed so all future updates from now on will be shown correct - so its easy to find the latest additions - when i find the time and space there will probally be a \"box\" with last 10 new ipks.

Nope, straight off the feed. Odd. I just tried removing the symlinked so.4 and restarting hnb, but that froze the system after bringing it up. Reboot ... hmm, now it doesn\'t complain about that. Odder.

It\'s called unstable for a reason.

I like it the way that it is.

Hello Scott,

I really appreciate your mirrors. Maybe this python-script can help you with mirroring files.

I added pdarom\'s stable and unstable feeds as an example.

Regards,

Fabian

I\'ll take a peek.. thanks!
