Thanks for your sugesstion. I moved this thread to crux-devel for further discussion. The last update of util-linux was in march 06, so it's only 1.5 years. Anyway, I'd second the move to util-linux-ng. Please test the attached port. If there are no objections we should do the change with the 2.4-rc1 next week. regards Juergen -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux

Proposed pkgmk distfile repository support for 2.4 (patch)
by Matt Housh 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

Greetings, all. Attached is a patch for pkgutils 5.30.0 that adds distfile repository support via a pkgmk.conf variable, PKGMK_DISTFILE_REPOS. By default it's defined empty which causes no behavioral changes. If you define it to a list of URLs, like PKGMK_DISTFILE_REPOS=(http://gentoo.osuosl.org/distfiles/ http://fileserver.intranet/crux/distfiles/) it'll attempt to fetch the source archive from the listed hosts before falling back to the host defined in the source=() array in the Pkgfile. Yes, this has been brought up before and by other people besides me. The reason I bring it up again now is that I'd like to see it in 2.4. The opinions in the IRC meeting were favorable but I'm posting it here for more exposure. Please give it a look and feel free to comment. Matt -- Matt Housh (jaeger@freenode/#crux)

CRUX 2.4, IRC meeting and open tasks
by Juergen Daubert 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi all, I'd like to propose a IRC meeting next week to discuss the final steps to get 2.4 out. Suggested date: Tue, Nov 27, 20:00 CEST As far I can see there are no big or even small issues to solve, though some open tasks: - Finalize the release notes - Update ChangeLog. I'll do the usual stuff, but it would be nice if we had some words about the new ISO-stuff under the Installation/Bootkernel section. - Bootkernel configuration. Is there anything we should add/enable? - ... ? Regards Juergen -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux

dynamic-not-listed dependencies
by Falk Hamann 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hi list We use one crux-server to build packages for all the other one, via pkg-repgen and pkg-get. From time to time problems occur with dynamic dependencies. Packages which installed on build-server, but not on the target, are linked to other binaries. pkg-get failed with these dependencies because they are not registered in Pkgfile. dep_diff: compares prt-get deptree (Pkgfile:Depends on) with finddeps (prt-utils) for one or all installed packages. This script generates a list of dynamic-not-listed dependencies (dependencies to core-ports are silently ignored). May be this script is also a help for other user. In our case nearly 100 Packages are affected ! Good to know the problem. But how to solve it ? I see 3 ways out: 1. modify Pkgfile:Depends on 2. modify Pkgfile:configure --no_that --no_these 3. use different chroot-environments for different type of server The 3th way is possible the most time-consuming one. But the other two have also disadvantages. Can't use default ports anymore. :-( Any hints ? -- Falk Hamann, IT T +49-7191-9669-242, Falk.Hamann(a)dbaudio.com, www.dbaudio.com d&b audiotechnik AG, Eugen-Adolff-Str. 134, 71522 Backnang, Germany Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Hilmar Schill; Vorstand: Frank Bothe, Markus Strohmeier Finanzen: Kay Lange, Marketing: Simon Johnston, Vertrieb: Peter Tongue Sitz: Backnang; Amtsgericht - Registergericht - Stuttgart, HRB 270952
