- Extend setup to handle modular X; one idea which was discussed and considered viable was to do grouping, such that one could first select the core group, the xorg group, and the [name to be found; remaining packages from opt] group
I'll suggest something like the FreeBSD install set selections, except for the top-level profiles ("Developer desktop" etc.), so instead of having all packages in one list, there'd be something like:
[x] core --> [ ] opt --> [ ] xorg -->
Space would select/deselect all the packages, Enter would go into a list similar to the one we have today, listing all the packages in the category. Yeah, that sounds pretty much like what I had in mind too.
- we'll set up ck4up on crux.nu to check core ports; jue has kindly provided a special version and a configuration file
Nice :)
Would it be an idea to integrate ck4up in the ports somehow, e.g. optionally add a file to each port containing a list of URL's to check? It's an interesting idea, although I'm not sure if this solves an actual problem.
Then it could be invoked with "ck4up -r /usr/ports/core" - it's obviously more scalable for all sorts of repositories. Thinking about it, it's probably also a nice way to check for dead/moved distfiles :) Well, ck4up is stateful, i.e. it won't list a change twice; checking for moved/missing distfiles is a slightly different problem; for this, I'd rather go with something like http://crux.nu/svnweb/CRUX/view/tools/scripts/check_urls
I'll try to remember bringing that up at the next meeting :-). Thanks for your comments, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@smts.ch Zurich, Switzerland http://jw.smts.ch
