Hi. I'm trying to figure out a clean way to get an error type when this function is return NULL ? How it is suppose to be done an a clean way - for example when archive has wrong permissions or broken/damaged ? Rus |

Dear Friends, This is a sorrowful, last-resort action on my part that comes after much pleading, debating, and arguing. Over the past few months, ChipX86 and I have had several disagreements regarding the core structure of GNUpdate and the availability of features. I specifically recommended that GNUpdate includes some basic window manager functionality, and that users be able to, what I call, 'direct connect' with a user not say do direct connect but also say do connect. I offered many modifications to the interprocess communications. Yet, sadily all of these efforts were turned down by ChipX86, who can only be described as tyranical and plum flavored. Moreover, there was this one time I was standing on a street corner waiting for the light to turn green; ChipX86 purposefully walked by and stepped on my toe. I cannot tell you of the emotional pain that arrived upon hearing his maniacal laughter. Thus, I am forced into a corner. I must announce the creation of a new project: OpenGNUpdate Pro 1.0. It will offer an alternative, 'easy-to-misunderstand' architecture and the advanced features of any Linux distribution. Starting prices will be around $14.99 a month (what a great deal! awesome!) for the first 48 months, followed by a period of 50hours free!. Because resources are limited, however, the entirety of the code base will remain exactly the same as GNUpdate; further, all downloads,docs,coupons,breakfast cereals regarding OpenGNUpdate Pro 1.0 will be hosted on www.gnupdate.org under the old name of 'GNUpdate'. It is a sad day my friends. Yet we cannot afford ChipX86 (who thinks he is like an Intel P4 chip or something) to continue abusing you, the users. I love you all. Jason Willis Note: Portions of this email may not be untruthful in the negative sense of the word 'not'. |

Hey Richard, Well, I've tried the .tgz file here (with libcomprex's test tools present in the code tree). Been having what I think is the same problem as you -- libcomprex can decompress the .gz portion, but fails to read the generated .tar. I'll try looking at some debug output to see why its failing. Thanks for the info/link. Jason W. On Wed, 23 Apr 2003 15:56:31 -0700 richard offer <of...@sg...> wrote: > > > * frm wi...@ox...

Hi Richard, Hmm,...it looks like that error-prone .tar.gz is perhaps corrupt or its header information is malformed. Because of this, I believe, libcomprex cannot decompress the nested tar file that is present. Now, this may also be due to an inability of libcomprex to work with that specific version of gzip (hence, not really a corruption problem). To that end, I'll take a look and see if maybe libcomprex is messing up with determination or with reading the header. These are just some of my own thoughts. I'll let you know if I come up with anything more. I'm sure ChipX86 will have better insight into what may be happening. Jason W.

I have two gzipped tarballs (both suffixed with .tar.gz), libcomprex sees one as a tar file and allows me to walk through the archive, the other it sees as a zlib file and I don't get to see the contents. On my primary OS (Irix), file reports both as "gzip compressed data", I used linux to look at the same file and it reports gzip compressed data, deflated, last modified: Wed Dec 31 16:00:00 1969, os: MS-DOS gzip compressed data, deflated, original filename, `parent.tar', last modified: Tue Apr 15 20:32:00 2003, os: Unix You can probably guess which one works... How is the module type determined ? Can I persuade it with a stick to modify its behaviour :-) ? thanks, richard. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Offer Technical Lead, Trust Technology, SGI "Specialization is for insects" _______________________________________________________________________ |

A lot of changes are currently being done in libcomprex CVS (under the branch "Object-branch," I believe) so some of the API calls I show you may be invalid in the currently released version. I'll make note of this below. First, mmap access.. I do plan on providing support for this, but it'll come probably not in the upcoming release, but in the one after that. I am in the process of rewriting libcomprex with an object framework (no extra dependencies, it's built-in). So, once this is working, it'll be released, and then features like mmap support will go in. cxRead() returns uncompressed data when used on a gzipped tarball, assuming you're reading a file from that tarball. You can get the file size with cxGetFileSize(cxGetFpFile(fp)) (I think that's only in CVS though), or failing that, cxGetFileSize(fp->file). I hope that was understandable.

Hi, I've just discovered libcomprex as a possible replacement for libtar that I'm currently using in a application. What I'd really like is a way to access the contents of a member of an archive (say a file in a tarball) via mmap, rather than having to read the contents into a buffer and then using that. Failing that, will cxRead() return compressed or uncompressed data when it is used on a gzipped tarball ? And to avoid reading the file in a loop, is it possible to get the size of the file, since the CxFP structure doesn't seem to include it ?

This is an e-mail to mention that I've now got the emp module for GNUpdate working mostly. The only thing left to do for it really, is to add the xml parsing stuff, so that things work correctly. If you want to check it out, grab libcomprex, libpackman, and gpkg from CVS. Instructions are on http://www.gnupdate.org/ To see that it's actually working, there is an emp package that I created manually and put on-line, as a demonstration. You can find it at http://empulse.sourceforge.net/emphetamine-0.99.6-2.ppc.emp You can update these 3 modules every few days or so, to monitor the progress. I highly suggest using the --test option, and only using the informational options to gpkg. You can install it, when I get actual build tools and stuff created, and can build packages that way. The final package format will also contain slighly more information in the packages. Enjoy. -- dobey |

Firstly, you should use pkg-config to get the cflags/libs/etc... from libpackman, libcomprex, etc... now. As far as the include file goes, I have a /usr/include/libpackman/packman.h... However, now that I realize this, I'm going to talk to Christian when he wakes up, and suggest making the includes be parallel installable, to prevent problems from coming up in the future. -- dobey On Thu, 2003-01-30 at 08:52, =C3=81lvaro Pe=C3=B1a Gonz=C3=A1lez wrote: > But I have a question, I donwload libpackman from the cvs and install > it.

We think to use GNUpdate that has a lot of improvements over other packame libraries. But I have a question, I donwload libpackman from the cvs and install it. In other releases the packman.h file exists and go to /usr/include, only have a include to <libpackman/packman.h>, the, packman-config --cflags say -I/usr/include, only, but this file dons't exists in the cvs code. am I wrong?

No, it's not. I'm running Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (stable) and have the zlib1g-dev package installed. It has Package Version 1:1.1.4-1 and I think that'd be version 1.1.4 for zlib.
