I see that two more spam messages just hit the list, but hopefully most people's spam filters (Gmail's or otherwise) will filter those out. If it gets really, really bad, then perhaps I'll set the moderation for new members only as a starting point. -- Chess Griffin GPG Key: 0x0C7558C3 http://www.chessgriffin.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sbopkg-discuss" group.

I'd imagine that if there's an issue, Google will work it out. They've been really good about issues like this. My vote is don't saddle yourself with the need to moderate unless it's more work to delete the SPAM, because the SPAM will most-likely go away. Then again, if you foresee the list as being mostly announcements, it may not be such a headache.

The main new feature is now an ability to install a built package when using the dialog interface. I have mentioned several times in the past that this was a feature I was hesitant to include, but after many, _many_ requests for it, I finally caved. :-) Currently, this feature is only available in the dialog interface and not in the cli (although that will come later). The way it works is pretty nifty. If sbopkg finds a package for a particular piece of software, then a new menu item will automagically appear in the info menu that allows the user to install the package. So, if you have a chance to test the SVN version, please do so and let me know how it works.

Many thanks to all the contributors! Some of the highlights include: * After many, _many_ requests, sbopkg now adds preliminary support to install a package by calling upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new. Currently, this new feature is only available in the dialog interface (the cli version will include this feature shortly). If sbopkg finds a package for the selected application in the $OUTPUT directory, then a new menu item will automagically appear allowing the user to install the package. Thanks very much to Erik Hanson for the initial code to get this working. Please do test this functionality and let me know if there are any issues. * Much improved menu navigation -- the 'Return to Main Menu' feature that appeared in the last release is now moved down as a button next to "Ok" and "Back." Additionally, several of "Cancel" buttons are renamed "Back." I think these changes greatly improve things from a user interface perspective. Thanks to Erik Hanson for the suggestions. * There is a new option in sbopkg.conf "TERMBUILD" that allows a user to optionally have the package building process step outside of dialog and process in a regular terminal. Thanks to Erik Hanson for the suggestion and patch to make this work. * Create a pid file when sbopkg is first run and check for its existence to prevent multiple instances of sbopkg from running. Thanks to David Somero for the suggestion. * Add in several bugfixes for the update list. Thanks to Erik Hanson and The-spiki for the bug reports. Please check out the included ChangeLog for more details. Thanks to everyone who submitted a bug report, patch, suggestion or otherwise provided feedback. As always, please report any bugs to me via email, the sbopkg mailing list, or, preferably, using the Issue tracker on the project's website. I can also be found in #sbopkg, #slackbuilds, and ##slackware on freenode. A noarch package and source tarball for version 0.11.0 can be found at the sbopkg project website: http://code.google.com/p/sbopkg Enjoy! -- Chess Griffin GPG Public Key: 0x0C7558C3 http://www.chessgriffin.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sbopkg-discuss" group.

An upgrade is recommended. The major fixes include: * The pid file is now properly removed when using sbopkg from the cli; many thanks to LukenShiro for the bug report and help with testing. * Checks for the various sbopkg-related directories and files are improved. * A couple of updatelist fixes; thanks to LukenShiro for the bug reports. Again, thanks to everyone for the assistance and contributions. I've received several emails about the installation feature and when it will be working from the cli. I have a rudimentary version working now, but have not yet committed it to SVN. I want this 0.11.x series to settle down a bit and then this new code will come in. Stay tuned.

Based on what *might* be happening, perhaps make sbopkg try to download the source with the ?-c? option (resume) to wget, and then if the checksums still don?t match, remove the source and try again. -RW --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sbopkg-discuss" group.

As you probably know, you can already clear out the cache directory of all download files from the main sbopkg menu, but this blows 'em all away. I do think it would be helpful to have the ability to selectively delete certain tarballs in the cache directory. This could either be a new standalone entry in the menu for each application (the menu where you can build or install the package) or something that appears only when the MD5SUM fails. The former might be more helpful as there could be times one would want to delete the source even if the MD5SUM hasn't failed. In any event, this is a good suggestion and I'll look at adding in this feature. > > Thanks, also, for pointing me to the section of the man page that > deals with my question on editors.

Here's a little more detail on the problem I'm having with Open Office. I just tried it again with version 0.11.2 on another computer: 1) I rsync with Slackbuilds.org and then go to the menu for OpenOffice. 2) I select "build" and it starts to download the source file. 3) At some point later, I get an error indicating the download went awry: " I need to stress that I'm having trouble downloading Open Office source outside of sbopkg too. It took several tries from Firefox, and I may actually have had to download it using a torrent. I'm reasonably certain the problem is with Verizon (or at least my connection). 4) The build fails because the MD5 sum fails -- this is as it should be because the download did not complete. 5) I try to build it again. And it fails again without trying to download the source again. 6) Deleting the Open Office directory in the ../sbo folder has no effect because the incomplete source file is still in /var/cache/ sbopkg directory. If I delete the source file, then I can retry the process. So what I'm talking about, I guess, is some form of error checking. If the source file is incomplete or corrupted, sbopkg fails to build the package (as it should), but does not offer a way to clear the failed source file and try again. I hope this information helps. As a question/suggestion: is it possible to offer to delete the source file if the MD5 sum fails? Thanks, also, for pointing me to the section of the man page that deals with my question on editors.

Hmm... I just tried building and installing openoffice.org with version 0.11.2 of sbopkg and it worked fine. I also seem to remember doing this previously with version 0.0.9. So, I'm not sure why your build is not working, but it's working here and I have not received any other bug reports about it. If your local repo doesn't have a lot of local modifications, maybe you can remove it and create a new, clean copy from within sbopkg? > > Feature requests: > 1) It would be nice if more of the work in sbopkg could be done as a > regular user with a prompt for the root password when running the > actual Slackbuild script and the installation.

Well, you can certainly set up sbopkg to create and maintain the local repo in a user's home directory which would then let this user run sbopkg for rsyncing etc. All you would need to do is change the various directories etc. in sbopkg.conf. This is documented in the sbopkg.conf(5) man page. But, as far as running sbopkg as a regular user and then changing to the root user in order to build and install, that might be more difficult. As mentioned in FAQ #11 on the slackbuilds.org site, the scripts really need to be run as root in order for the owership and permissions to be set correctly. And I'm not sure there is an easy way of changing to the root user within sbopkg short of using sudo, which I don't really want to require. Maybe I can add in a feature where sudo could be optionally set in sbopkg.conf. In any event, I'll definitely mull this over and see if there is a way it can be done. > > 2) Could sbopkg be set up so that the feature for editing slackbuilds > uses the text editor of the user's choice?

Message-ID: <4ad0ebf5-63c7-486e-84a8-49ea01c3811d@8g2000hse.googlegroups.com> Chess, I really like sbopkg! As I mentioned at LQ, I'm reviewing it for Linux.com, and I've got a question and a feature request. The question: I tried to build Open Office but ran into a problem. Apparently the download did not go well, so naturally the MD5 sum failed. No problem, I tried to download it again, but the MD5 sum failed again, even through the download seemed to work fine the second time. This was with version 0.10.0. I haven't tried it with 0.11.2 and probably won't before the article is due. In any event, when I downloaded the Slackbuild package and source manually and built the package "the old fashioned way," everything worked fine. Could the MD5 information have been corrupted? Can you think of other reasons why sbopkg had trouble with that particular package? I have not had any trouble with anything else that I've built. Feature requests: 1) It would be nice if more of the work in sbopkg could be done as a regular user with a prompt for the root password when running the actual Slackbuild script and the installation. It would also be nice if the resulting Slackware package had the permissions set for the user account sbopkg is running from (if it's not the root account). I manage my source files and Slackware packages as a regular user and just do the builds and installation as root. It's not essential, but it would be nice if I could do the same thing with sbopkg. 2) Could sbopkg be set up so that the feature for editing slackbuilds uses the text editor of the user's choice? Not that there's anything wrong with vi, but some folks may want to use Nano, or (gasp!)

I thought I could just run it from the svn directory, but wanted to try making a package anyway. I ran into a snag with naming the tar file, and that's what killed the SlackBuild script.
