install and coreutils

[pgas]

from this thread :

I searched for the "install" program and the package called coreutils has it on my Debian system. Any suggestion how to get it in pdaXrom. (I'm using RC5 native SDK)

Download it here and compile
it. It is named ginstall so you will have to rename it.

In fact I have allready done this, so I guess I could upload it to the unstable thread.

A thing that prevent me from doing this is what form to give to this package.
coreutils contain several small utilities. Some are allready present on the rom via
busybox (well if i rember well). What would be the best

- one ipk for each util
- one ipk for the util missing from busybox, one for the one covered by busybox
- one ipk core_utils

Thanks. Busybox causes some trouble anyway, so it would be good to change. The utils compiled separately are much larger than busybox alone?

Well I didn't check but busybox is very small.
The utils don't take much space though.

After saying that all is a matter of choices.

I'll try to make a coreutils package (I'll have to check which binary it overrides, if any and how to override them) and upload it tonight (it's morning for me).

ok here is for you to compare
# busybox --help
BusyBox v1.00-pre5 (2004.10.06-16:17+0000) multi-call binary
 
Usage: busybox [function] [arguments]...
   or: [function] [arguments]...
 
        BusyBox is a multi-call binary that combines many common Unix
        utilities into a single executable.  Most people will create a
        link to busybox for each function they wish to use, and BusyBox
        will act like whatever it was invoked as.

Well I finally made 2 ipks, one with the utils not covered by the busybox in the rom
the other for those missing

Find them n the unstable feed

Try to upload them again, they aren't in the feed physically. Try to download them from the website, for example.

I messed all up when I tried to overwrite busybox links in /usr/bin/ with my self compiled programs...  Maybe it's was a good idea from your side to put them in the /usr/local/bin/...

Zumi, reinstalled...

[pgas2]

hmm they are here: http://www.pdaxrom.org/unstable/

Note that from the php script I can't download them with firefox on linux
I end up redirected to the front page and no dowload.

Same here. (Linux, Firefox, redirect) <- same effect with all the other ipkgs on the webpage
I just discovered that they are there (and saw your post after it). You can hit ESC while waiting for the download and click on the URL. This way you can download them too.
But I can't download them with the pdaXrom package manager. Weird. Well, I install them manually.

Thanks for the compiling!

Strange i thought we had all these problems solved - they are fixed for firefox under windows and wget also works under linux..  So the package manager should also be able to use it.. I will do more testing.

Only these two packages (coreutils-base, coreutils-extra) are that I can't install with qpkg (error message about it can't download them). I installed "less" for testing purpose flawlessly from the unstable feed.

[pgas]

hmm.  There maybe something wrong with my control files...
Lately I 've been using  ipkg install ...  from the command line
I'll check again
