Hello all, I am working on changing FreeDOS install program to use FDPM instead of unzip. A few tidbits of information where not included in the FDP 0.1.0 spec, so I updated FDP to 0.2.0 and added them (things like license & maintainer) and have updated FDPM to 0.9.0 so it uses these changes and a few other changes so it handles some functionality I wanted. The actual FDPM.EXE program should behave the same as before, except it uses v0.2.0 FDP packages and the PATH specified to create/open the db is now assumed to be a directory, that is, if it does not end in / or \ then one is appended. I still need to update the build library so it understands the added entries. A stub version of uninstall is in place (it just returns error), but after I get the initial working release of install using FDPM lib, I plan to finish it (as it is needed to properly support upgrading a preexisting install). If anyone is still following this list, please let me know! After I get the above stuff done I'll figure out who I need to send the files to, but in the meantime, if anyone wants my work in progress just send me a note. I updated the DB library to have function prototypes, fix 1 = versus == bug, and a few function calls missing a 3rd (but unused) size parameter (I think the original compilers will still work - assuming they support function prototypes, but I have only currently tested my changes with Borland C/C++ v3 - which happily compiles without errors or warnings (in default mode) and runs all the tests fine). I also updated it to compile the DB library in large mode since FDPM & Install are both compiled in large model. Jeremy Davis je...@co... |
