[clc-devel] CC: [suggestions for http://distrowatch.com/crux]
Hi, Can we generate a listing of core and opt ports on crux.nu, so that DistroWatch can update our list of packages? Does everyone feel that such a thing is a good idea? Also, what would the most appropriate name for this column be? "Ports"? "Current Ports"? If we put this file in a branch-independent location, and changed that cat command to "cat crux-$version/{core/*/Pkgfile,opt/*/Pkgfile}", then it shouldn't be much of a maintenance hassle. If anyone knows of a better way to generate this package list file, please feel free to implement it.

Attached is the requested file. It was created by "cat opt/*/Pkgfile core/*/Pkgfile | grep -B2 version= > /tmp/CRUX-core_opt-ports-20060412". How would you like to receive future updates? Is there a mechanism in
Do you generate it directly on the crux.nu server? If so, just place it somewhere where I can retrieve it once a day to update the CRUX page. That's how I do it with all other distributions. Ladislav ----- End forwarded message -----

Hi,

Also, what would the most appropriate name for this column be? "Ports"? "Current Ports"? I'm not sure if the average distrowatch reader understands "ports"; I'd probably use "version in ports tree", but maybe that's too long.
If anyone knows of a better way to generate this package list file, please feel free to implement it. Not that it's necessarily better, but here's my take:
------- #!/bin/bash VERSION=2.2 BASE=/home/crux/svn-to-rsync-working-copy-$VERSION TARGET=/home/crux/public_html/files/ports-versions-$VERSION.list prt-get --no-std-config \ --config-append="prtdir $BASE/core" \ --config-append="prtdir $BASE/opt" \ printf "%n: %v\n" > $TARGET ------- The output could obviously be adjusted to whatever Ladislav wants.

I forwarded your email to Ladislav to ask about this.
------- #!/bin/bash
VERSION=2.2 BASE=/home/crux/svn-to-rsync-working-copy-$VERSION TARGET=/home/crux/public_html/files/ports-versions-$VERSION.list
prt-get --no-std-config \ --config-append="prtdir $BASE/core" \ --config-append="prtdir $BASE/opt" \ printf "%n: %v\n" > $TARGET -------
I like it. I'm not sure who notifies Ladislav of http://crux.nu/files/crux-$VERSION-packages.txt (or if there's an automatic mechanism in place for such notifications...), but would he (or the program ;-) also be willing to mention the ports-versions-$VERSION.list file to Ladislav?
The output could obviously be adjusted to whatever Ladislav wants.
I've asked him about this, and will keep you updated. Do you think that we can have a file online by the end of the week? Thank you very much for your collaboration and suggestions on this. Cheers, Nick

What I mean, is when $VERSION changes, which changes the location of both of those files.

Thanks for your work Johannes. I'm glad to finally see this working. Interestingly enough, we're now listed among the top 100 distributions again. ;-) Cheers, Nick
