[Vectorlinux-devel] Concerns about Veclinux-5.8 Tree

[John B <joh...@gm...>]

>From what I can see, the veclinux-5.8 tree is basically empty. Whoever
created it should have just copied the veclinux-current tree recursively
into the 5.8 tree, as the items that are in current are going to be in
5.8until such time as things are frozen. Please let's be careful when
we make
major changes in the repository like this. The last thing we need is that
the boxes that serve the trusted repo on osuosl are not in sync with our
main tree.

Thanks,

[Vectorlinux-devel] new checkinstall

[Kocil <k0...@ya...>]

Hi all.

I've fixed checkinstall regarding the bug when
creating tlz package. Here it is.

Regard.
Kocil

ps. 
I'm sorry if this is the wrong way to send a package.
Due to my minimum participation time, 
I'm really lost about the current "standard operating
procedure" of vectelopers :(

hello Kocil,
do you know what the difference is with this checkinstall and the one in the
repo with the same name?
I have not had any problems creating tlz packages with the last checkinstall
you gave us.
You should come into the IRC chat more often there are things we could use
your expertise on from time to time.
also we have a wiki here
http://wikihost.org/wikis/vecdev/programm/gebo.prgWe have been trying
to track the changes we have been making but as usual
(at least for me) it is hard to find the time to make notes of all we do.

  The "last" checkinstall (included in the dynamite I presumme) does not generate the tlz package without :
  - given the proper -L option or 
  - given the PKGFORMAT=tlz environment variable
  That error has been reported in the forum, but I did not notice it until I tried it myself to run the checkinstall outside my vectelopment system.
   
  The one i attached fixed that.
   
  Try to diff the last and new checkinstall script to see the difference.

  I would ... If I'am as free as the good time when I was a student.
  I'm a lecturer now ... cannot sit down all night and day long in the lab :(

[Vectorlinux-devel] Multi distro development

[Kocil <k0...@ya...>]

As you might have know ...
  I'm asked by the Indonesian goverment to make a Linux distro, special for Indonesian education, called Dewantara (DL).
  Obviously, I merge that with VL development.
  Thus, I've done these :
   
  1. Update the vectelopment to be able to build multiple distros. It was designed to build various VL flavours, such as dynamite and SOHO. Now it can build VL various flavour as well as DL various flavour.
   
  2. Make the GENERIC installer that is able to install any distro. This heavily change the CDROM layout !
   
  3. Simplify the first time configuration, now the system will be configured to a 'safe' settings without to much asking. User may use vasm for more detailed setting later. I incorporated the hwsetup and hwdata from Knoppix for this (dropped the binary only vlsetup, made by Tigger for the SOHO 3.2).
   
  IMHO, the changing that might bother you is number 2 because joe is developing the new installer. Should I send the new ISO (dynamite version ????) for your preview ?
   
  By the way ... who is the developer here that use vectelopment system ?
  It was available as a HUGE tarball that contains ALL VL SOHO 5.0 build tree.
  Unfortunatelly, the documentation was very poor and some were missing in the dead of our old WIKI and forum :(
   
   
  Best Regards
  Kocil
