[Cooker] compssList ?!
Hello out there! I don't know if I'm right here. If not please apologize and direct me to the right list. I'm a Sysadmin working for a costumer who uses Linux as development environment. In the first two runs I made a customized Linux-Release based on RedHat that fits perfectly into the customer environment (Solaris, NIS+). Now I have to set up a new release because the developer's want the new features and tools (of course ;-)). First I tried RH6.1 because of obvious reasons (see above). With that release I had several problems. - NFS-Bug in combination with Solaris 2.5.1 - gcc-2.95.1: problems with c++ ... and so on ! Anyway ! After three weeks of debugging and frustration, I switched over to Mandrake 7.0. It really seems a good distribution. Well improved. Current software-packages. Well done Mandrake ! Now to my real problem. What I *must* do is to insert a new installation bullet into the 'graphical' and 'newt' installation. I also have to add some packages and do a costumized package pre-selection. After inspected 'compss', 'compssUsers' and 'compssList' I really have problems to understand the structure of 'compssList'. I've allready added the menubullets in second-stage install and I can see them. How do J add another dgGroup in 'compssList' and what are the numbers behind the packages and categories for? Can you please explain that miracle to me :-) ?

I've already done that, but still have no clue about the numbers
behind the packages and categories.
I've added this:
#- lower bound on the left ( aka 90 means [90-100[ )
my %compssList = (
90 = __("must have"), #- every install have these packages (unless hand de-selected
in expert, or not enough room)
80 = __("important"), #- every custom install have these packages (unless not
enough space)
#- has minimum X install (XFree86 + icewm)(normal)
70 = __("very nice"), #- KDE(normal)
60 = __("nice"), #- gnome(normal)
50 = __("interesting"),
40 = __("interesting"),
30 = __("maybe"),
20 = __("maybe"),
10 = __("useless"),
0 = __("garbage"),
);
it will be used in the individual package selection to display the Rating for
each package
i you have better words, please do tell :)
Oliver, if it's still not enough, tell me.

O.K. I'll try this. But what about the negative numbers?
I saw something like -30 in the file.
i you have better words, please do tell :)
Not yet. If i will find some I'll tell you first :-))
Oliver, if it's still not enough, tell me.
Many thanks for the helping hand.
so long

Re: [Cooker] compssList
I just had a basic question about forks. I'm writing an app that needs to fork
off three children and I need to distinguish between the children with wait().
Can anyone help?
ex of what I tried to get to work...
pid1 = fork(); /1st child
pid2 = fork(); /2nd child
pid3 = fork(); /3rd child
if (pid1 != 0 )
{ /* Paren't block of code */}
else if (pid1 = 0)
{ /* 1st child's block of code */}
else if (pid2 = 0)
{ /* 2nd child's block of code */}
else
{ /* 3rd child's block of code */}
just to keep it short... results are the parent block of code is run and then
the else statement is run... It doesn't like it when i try to determine the
child in an else if statement or an if statement like i have... Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Chris Blazek
[Cooker] compssList
Ok first question compssList is the only file that I need to update right? Secound question what do the numbers mean?

So I do not have to put the package in compssList only compss? Add it to compss for it to be visable/selectable Add it to compssList for it tobe Auto installed so If I were to remove something from compssList it would no longer be auto-installed? Thats my understanding, yes

Sounds right to me, I've yet to see it tell me that it's adding foo.rpm because frub.rpm needs it. I smell new expert feature :-) Ok we'll use this as an example, MySQL-shared-libs-3.22.25-6mdk 91710 bash-2.03-17mdk glibc-2.1.2-8mdk I select MySQL-shared-libs (from where ever its hideing in pkg selection) dialog box pops up (same as the one thats onscreen, to make it easy) except instead of Administration:whatever it has just MySQL-shared-libs as the primary branch and it's dependancy bash and glibc. From here we can select/deselect dependancy. At the very least it should do the newt thing.. ala. "hey dummy you forgot libfoo, so snazzy_prog isn't gonna work"

Does it go thru the whole list and deselect pkgs that require whatever you just unselected?
Re: [Cooker] compssList
Axalon Bloodstone [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Does it go thru the whole list and deselect pkgs that require whatever you just unselected? well, it tries to deselect the autoselected packages, not the hand-selected ones. The problem comes from , for eg, if you deselect libgimp, it will deselect gimp also, even if you had hand-selected it.
