CRUX 3.5 test makes me happy
Hello. Hello. Hello. ^_^ Ok, for the first time ever i am running CRUX on bare metal and with X and multimedia. On an Ideapad 530S. I am happy. Thank you. I have not compiled X or something since i did self-built FreeBSD "world" installations, before about 2003 (before FreeBSD 5.3). With CRUX i have been able to be up and running on a single afternoon, also thanks to this supercomputer, of course. Thanks a lot. Wonderful, fantastic, great, wow. I am looking forward optimistically. I think i will add one cent and provide faad2 2.8 (needed in pipes, i think), sox, mawk, nawk, lmdb, bogofilter with lmdb, lynx 2.8.9.devX, dma (DragonFly BSD Mail Agent), tcc and pcc. After looking around some more in user repos, once i have a browser. I think i have to switch to firefox-bin, i don't dare to go chromium. Man, that's really great. A self-compiled system (more or less)! yahoo. ^_^ P.S.: i have sent mails because of build failures for xf86-video-intel, which was false, my shell wrapper (which tee(1)s the build) used install not depinst. Sorry. I think the other one was at least partially correct. And i think i should just adjust prt-get.conf and let that go to /tmp/ instead. P.P.S: i wonder why the git(1) package includes the message catalogs. I do things like (for i in GETTEXT PYTHON TCLTK; do echo NO_$${i}=1; done;\ cat Makefile) > Makefile.2nd &&\ $(GMAKE) -f Makefile.2nd prefix=$(MYPREFIX) all &&\ I have not done for some time, however. Finally a question. Can i simply switch to the git(1) ports driver, and if so, on top of what i have now? P.P.P.S.: the manual of prt-get(8) still refers to md5sum stuff. ports(8) refers to cvsup(1). _Thank you all_! --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
Thanks for the feedback and the notes on the prt-get and ports man pages. You should be able to switch to the git ports driver if you want to. Regards, Matt

I currently.. you mean the MD5 thing? |You should be able to switch to the git ports driver if you want to. Actually i am still not really landed. I track core and opt for half a decade or even longer via git, but did not really use CRUX because my hardware could not go all the way anyway, you know. In the meanwhile i have half a dozen CRUX repos in my code arena (+ s-s-d, iso, httup, prt-get), but now living and working truly in CRUX for a month i track the ports via httup, just as it ships. I thought about switching to git, but not yet done. (I would have used it if the installation would have given that choice.) I am still thinking you know. I carry my private code arena with several dozens of .tar_bomb_git and .git and .cvs_bomb_git for many years, but never really made that a starter, all-in-all. Let alone having that sailing in the wind and being still usable after the monthly updates. (Talking about the non-tar repos.) Now with CRUX i really have what that should have been, and it just works! Including rejmerge. What i mean is, i am still thinking of throwing all my stuff away, except for some git repos i need for code research (sometimes), but not actually using them for the system, and instead fully settle on the CRUX infrastructure. Regarding that. I do not have the overview yet. I saw the .md5sum being created within my ports and did not understand, which is why i cloned prt-get. But this was too soon, i do not yet have the complete picture, my view is not stable anyway, i do not have anything. Getting rid of dead wood is however a good thing, and if in a year or so the CRUX team would like to throw away all MD5 related things from those tools i am possibly in the condition to do it without breaking anything. If that is what you referred to. Enjoying CRUX!
