[wpkg-users] First test with architecture dependencies...
I'm starting to move out of XPsp3 32 bit, moving also to WPKG-GP. Anyway, i've setup a test recipe (for WPKG-GP, of course) and added to profiles.xml: profile id=default architecture=x86 depends profile-id=base / package package-id=xptweaks-disable-csc / /profile profile id=default architecture=x64 package package-id=wpkg-gp / package package-id=wpkg-gp-settings / /profile If i start WPKG on the win7 x86 box, in the log i can see that wpkg correctly idetify the os as 'x64', apply profile 'default' but start to install packages on 'base' profile plus 'xptweaks-disable-csc' packages. What i'm missing? Thanks. -- dott.

[wpkg-users] Windows XP firewall strangeness...
It is some year that i set the windows firewall with 'netsh firewall' in a wpkg recipe, using 'execute once'. Some days ago, i've found a internet page that explain how the setting are saved, in registry, so i've modified the recipe as: check type=logical condition=and check type=registry condition=equals path=HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Start value=2 / check type=registry condition=equals path=HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\EnableFirewall value=1 / check type=registry condition=equals path=HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\WPKGConfigVersion value=20121005 / /check install cmd='%WPKGROOT%\packages\firewall.bat' / install cmd='reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy /f /v WPKGConfigVersion /t REG_SZ /d 20121005' / (firewall.bat sets the rules using 'netsh firewall' commands). Recipe do what expected (eg, firewall rules are applied correctly and works), but recipe fail, because there's no the EnableFirewall value on HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile registry key. If i use the control panel firewall graphical interface, firewall rules, and for example i disable and re-enable it, these registry keys/value come back as expected. For now i've added to the recipe: install cmd='reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile /f /v EnableFirewall /t REG_DWORD /d 1' / install cmd='reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile /f /v DoNotAllowExceptions /t REG_DWORD /d 0' / install cmd='reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile /f /v DisableNotifications /t REG_DWORD /d 0' / but i'm curious to know what happen...

Re: [wpkg-users] WPKG on Windows 7
Mandi! Daniel Berteaud In chel di` si favelave... I'm actually using this method: http://www.mail-archive.com/wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org/msg05228.html Trying to summarize, on win7: + WPKG-GP works only on startup + WPKGClient does not works reilable on shutdown, because windows after 10 minutes forcibly kill all running processes, so long installation never complete. First question: seems strange to me that, even Microsoft, put an hardcoded 'ten minutes' delay, really there's no knob to simply disable or make it long?! Even the cited 'MaxGPOScriptWait' that seems to have exactly 10 minutes timeout as default? Someone have tried to install WPKGClient, put MaxGPOScriptWait=0 and give it a try? Second question: AFAIK, WPKGClient use the ''service'' because in XP there's no shutdown and startup scripts, so start of the service are considered ''startup'' and stop of the service ''shutdown''. But also, that wpkg and the ''display helper'' WPKGMessage communicate with a simply method: probably WPKGClient redirect stdout to a pipe, or instruct wpkg.js to write to a pipe, and WPKGMessage read them. It is possible, with a simple shutdown script, to run WPKGMessage and wpkg.js and ''connect'' them? Some minor question arise, specifically to Daniel: + you propose to create a secure user account wpkguser: ok, it is better, but is needed?! Eg, logoff script cannot access to shares in 'guest access' mode? + you modify some parameters, via (L)GPO or registry: you have some reference documentation/mapping/... about equivalence of GPO and registry? Eg, you have catched by trial and error or found some reference? Thanks to all. -- dott.

[wpkg-users] WPKG on Windows 7
I mimic Rainer email of august about win8, becuse i'm still on XP and i've to start, and quickly, to plan a migration to seven. I've acquired a good confidence with WPKG on XP 32 bit, and have waited so long permit me at least to move from XP 32bit to seven 64 bit, with no grey/mixed areas, so with some simplification. Anyway, i have many doubt, and i hope that someone can at least point me to the right direction. First doubt is about the ''client'': AFAI've understood: + WPKG Client work well on startup and shutdown on seven, but there's no way to have notification messages. + WPKG-GP have notification messages, but only on startup (and my experience say me that doing installation on startup is a pain). So i'm thinking to keep WPKG Client, loosing shutdown message, at least for now. Second doubt is about not ''WPKG'' per se, but generally the ''ecosystem''. I try to explain me better. I don't use AD, i've a ''pure'' NT-like setup with samba. On XP, i use: + WPKG for deploy + WPKG for system wide configuration (via directly patching the registry) + ya olde policy (eg, ntconfig.pol on netlogon share) for user based configuration; now i impose only a limit on roaming profile size and i setup some folder redirection. Ok, reading around seems that old policy are not more useable on vista and better (allelujah! ;), but seems to me that also there's no way to obtain the same ''feature'' directly patching the registry, nor the Local GPO seems to have the ''power'' to modify some aspect, like roaming profile size and folder redirection (ignoring the fact that copying around the LGPO seems not a so simple task). Someone have at least some hints on that? Thanks. -- dott.

FYI. - Forwarded message from Kaply Consulting consult...@kaply.com - Date: Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:07:03 -0500 From: Kaply Consulting consult...@kaply.com To: enterpr...@mozilla.org Subject: [Mozilla Enterprise] MAJOR Change Setting Default Preferences for Firefox 14 X-Spam-Status: No, score=-4.0 required=5.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_00,GREYLIST_ISWHITE autolearn=ham version=3.2.5 In case people didn't see this on my blog: If you are running into problems with Firefox 14 not honoring values in you set the default preferences, it's because Firefox preference files have moved from defaults/pref to defaults/preferences and your files have to move as well. (See bug 779437.) Apparently custom changes to the default preferences were supposed to be there all along, but no one actually knew that (not even Firefox). So when you are creating JS files for your autoconfig settings or to set the various add-on scopes values, make sure they are in defaults/preferences. (You'll have to create this directory.) Note that this method works fine on Firefox 10 as well. I'll be updating all my posts as I have time. On a separate note, the CCK is broke on Firefox 14 - it's not creating bookmarks properly. I've tracked the problem down to a Places change, but at this point I am unable to work around it. I've contacted the developer that made the change that broke me, but I haven't heard back. Hopefully he'll be able to point me in the right direction. I can't stress this enough. PLEASE test on Aurora and Beta if you have the bandwidth to do so. These Firefox 14 issuse should not have been found after Firefox 14 was released. And yes, I'll admit that I've been failing in my testing as well, but to be blunt, I'm not paid for any of the time I spend on enterprise, so it's not one of my top priorities. -- Mike Kaply Kaply Consulting (http://consulting.kaply.com) http://mike.kaply.com | http://www.linkedin.com/in/mkaply | http://twitter.com/MikeKaply ___ Enterprise mailing list enterpr...@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/enterprise To unsubscribe from this list, please visit https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/enterprise or send an email to enterprise-requ...@mozilla.org with a subject of unsubscribe - End forwarded message - -- dott.

However we have samba home servers for all of our individual sections, some of which are remote offices. These remote offices internet connection back to us is via a T1 and can get backlogged easily. I am looking into a way to enable the users at these locations to be able to pull packages from a share on their local server rather than pull across the T1 ad be figthing with all of our other users also. I still want to keep the configs and base wpkg centralized so as to make administration easier. I could use rsync and cron to keep the remote packages up to date also. My issue is how to implement this? Would I simply change the individual people's profile.xml SOFTWARE variable to point to the share on their local server? Thanks in advance for an input. I use this setup. I manage 10-15 WPKG ''server'', all recipe (packages) base are kept in sync using csync2, while profile and hosts setup are local. Every installation have a different client config file (i use wpkg client, so settings.xml) that point to the right software repository, that i keep in sync with unison. -- dott.

Meaning you have each locations wpkg client software pointing to their local server rather than a centralized one? Then you just make changes to the central settings.xml and it propogates to the other servers? Really, i've a centralized recipe (package/*.xml) database, while i have local hosts/profile management to handle some local differences.

I've wrote down a script/helper to add me in the task of adding some domain group to some local group, wrapping around 'net localgroup'. Script attached. The script, on console, from SYSTEM user (the same that run wpkg) seems to work well: check, add and remove membership correctly. Used inside wpkg recipe (on action and check condition) behave strangely. Look at this.

[wpkg-users] Mbrola silent install
I've prepared a recipe for espeak (libre SAPI5 voices), but the italian voices are very ''mr. robota''. Looking around i've found that espeak can use mbrola (http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/, free as in beer), that provide much better voices. So i've prepared a recipe to install mbrola, but the installer in silent mode spawn at the end a browser run, so stalls waiting the user to terminate it. I've tried many 'task' and InnoSetup switches, and even saving an .inf file and the run them, but there's no way: in silent mode the browser are spawned. There's something that i can do? I've thinked about adding a timeout, ignore exit status and then add a 'taskkill' against the browser. Better way? Thanks. -- dott.

Re: [wpkg-users] multi-site / multi wpkg repo deployments for roaming laptops and notebooks
Mandi! Urs Rau (UK) In chel di` si favelave... The basic wish, need or requirement is / (or would be) to handle staff and equipment in branch offices. So that their desktops would all read from a local installation, but laptops would update themselves from either. So if they come for a weeks training or even a months sick cover their laptops and notebooks would still update using the companies wpkg setup. I've the same problem, and i've solved it (see later); i manage a ''central repository'' of WPKG recipe that i spread across a dozen of sites using csync2 (good compromise between a simple 'scp' and a full blown configuration manager like puppy). Every WPKG sites have, world is not perfect ;), some particularity, so the recipe base are identical but hosts list and profile lists differs; before this setup, some mobile users if forgot to unplug the ethernet cable before shutdown will get a bunch of uninstall/install tasks, then when come back in the ''home'' network, a bunch of install/uninstall. Absolutely boring. I think there's at least three method to solve that: 1) create a user dedicated to access wpkg shares, using different users (and/or passwords) in different networks, so simply a client cannot connet to a stranger network. Pro: + simple and effective + better security (wpkg shares can be accessible only by that user(s) and administrators Coons: + you have to manage that credentials + bootstrap of a wpkg client is a bit more complex 2) (i think the better) if you have an AD domain, use ''machine account'' authentication and let wpkg shares accessible only by machine accounts and administrators. Pro: + as above + you don't have to manage more accounts Coons: + does not work in samba/nt domains + works only if all machine are joined to the domain + clearly doesn't solve your problem if the domain are the same across branch offices. ;-) 3) (what i use) setup a variable in wpkgClient/wpkg-gp configuration and check on pre/post script; if differs, exit. Pro: + extremly simple and effective + easy bootstrap Coons: + no security Pratically, i've on wpkgClient 'settings.xml': script-variable name=LOCALNETsv/script-variable pre-action\\FILE\wpkg\wpkg-before.bat/pre-action and on \\FILE\wpkg\wpkg-before.bat: if not %LOCALNET% == sv ( exit 1 ) 'wpkg-before.bat' are a server-side script, so effectively this identify if client match the ''server''. -- dott.

Re: [wpkg-users] How to execute something weekly or monthly?
Mandi! Stefan Pendl In chel di` si favelave... I see some problems with this approach: You're right, effectively after doing some test i realize that i was wrong... simply because newer wpkg update the wpkg.xml file at every step, not at the end. I've simply added, in wpkg client pre execution: if exist %SystemRoot%\system32\wpkg.xml ( copy /y %SystemRoot%\system32\wpkg.xml %SystemRoot%\system32\wpkg.old nul ) and now i check '%SystemRoot%\system32\wpkg.old'. This is not really a ''safe'' method, but can be useful in some case. EG, i've prepared a recipe to install bacula file daemon client, that i don't use extensively but only on some client; a second recipe, if there's a server side .conf file, activate bacula and configure it. With a check like that, i can add a client (or modify the configuration file) and have the second recipe do the upgrade. Because normaly i do that not massively but on that pc, i can check if works (really, i can do it manually, but using wpkg are very cosy! ;). If i have some doubt, or i have to propagate some very important update, i can upgrade revision and have a forced installation. Rougly: because i copy wpkg.xml to wpkg.old *before* wpkg.js run, if some configuration file have a modification date newer then wpkg.old, it is really a new file and have to be ''upgraded''. It is not true the opposite: but as stated, if really i need to propagate some config options, i can update the revision. -- dott.

Re: [wpkg-users] Package still installed...
Mandi! Rainer Meier In chel di` si favelave... Very likely the uninstall is not really working properly. I can confirm. Most of NSIS installers suffer from this trouble. Some upgrade flawlessy (so it is not a NSIS problem). Some other trigger a disinstallation of previous version and an installation of the newer ones, while the disinstallation suffer from the classical ''fork'' problem of NSIS. Symptoms are that WPKG say ''check failed after upgrade'' but software are correctly installed (because the installation continue in background, and normally works). Normally i solve that situation doing, on upgrade, a disinstallation of the previous one in a start /wait jail (with or without the _? option, it depends), and then an installation. -- dott.

[wpkg-users] WSH compiler?
[totally unrelated to WSH-compressor thread...] Firtly, happy new year to all the list! ;) We have a box (win xp) where a strange software (that clearly i cannot upgrade and i've to use, it is related to acquiring and managing images from an electromedical devices...) corrupt the WSH interpreter. The problem are there from years, but these time we have the time to reinstall the software and prove that. I've tried to reinstall WSH (after the installation of the image manipulation software), but the installer reply me that it is just installed and refuse me to continue. There's an WSH compiler compatible with WPKG? Or there's a way to run wpkg in a ''local contained'' wsh interpreter to circumvent this problem? Thanks. -- dott.

Re: [wpkg-users] Strange behavior of WPKG Client
Mandi! chiddie In chel di` si favelave... Sorry, i don't understand what some connection from another user by these machines to that share. means :( Ahem, probably my bad english... chiaramente se vuoi si passa alla madrelingua, in privato. ;) Windows support only one ''authentication session'' between server and client; so if you have, eg, a printer connected to that server, using to authenticate user 'joe', you cannot use a share with other users, even the guest user (and clearly, viceversa). [Samba have bult 'aliases', so for example i've setup 'FILE' aliases to mount shares, 'CUPS' aliases to connect printers, ...] So before get tired, verify that symply you don't have other connection active. As for the second option: why the av? I mean, the share is accessible by the XP machines, and the Windows 7 machines that succeed in executing the startup script have the same antivirus, configured in the same way. It was only an option; my av solution (Kaspersky) one day start hitting all WPKG ''scripts'' (wpkg.js, pre and post scripts) as malware, so i've had to explicitly whitelist them. -- dott.

Mandi! Dave Goodbourn In chel di` si favelave... I'm looking at how's best to setup multiple WAN locations with our WPKG server. We currently have a WPKG server in London and are setting up an office in Europe. The two sites will be VPN'd together fine and the WPKG server will work ...but london is in europe. O;-) fine over the WAN, but is there a way to ease the file transfer by having another server in the second office just to store the files/software to update to reduce the amount of traffic between the two offices? Kind of like a proxy server in the second office but using the same WPKG server and database as in London. I manage half a dozen of ''wpkg'' sites; they are not perfectly identical, so i propagate the wpkg ''recipes'' using csync2 (http://oss.linbit.com/csync2/) and the installer repository with a mix of unison (http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/) or using the 'download /' tag inside the recipes. All glued together using WPKG variables, but also the ability of samba to ''aliases'' a server name, so \\FILE\wpkg and \\MEDIA\software are always the wpkg installation and the installers repository. -- dott.

No one package added/removed/... exactly as in 1.1.2.
Waiting for the final 1.2.1 release. ;-)

[wpkg-users] Host match disruptive changes in 1.2?
Really i've not understood the new ''host matching'' schema, or i'm
missing something, but something big.
I've switched to wpkg.js 1.2, and at the fist run on a test machine:

[...]
computer voldemort (really, a virtual machine, on my linux box lily; yes,
harry was my previous one ;) was on profile 'ced', but wpkg.js now
match profile 'defult'.
\\FILE\wpkg\hosts.xml contains:
host name=.+ profile-id=default /
while //FILE/wpkg/hosts/ced.xml contains:
wpkg
host name=voldemort profile-id=ced /
host name=neobe profile-id=ced /
/wpkg
What happens?! I've seen 'applyMultiple' option, but:
1) why break ''retrocompatibility''?!
2) how can i assign a single profile (applyMultiple=false) while having
a ''default'' assigned profile?
Sorry, probably i've missed something. Thanks.

Re: [wpkg-users] Host match disruptive changes in 1.2?
Mandi! Rainer Meier In chel di` si favelave... Maybe I will not have time today; meanwhile you can still use 1.1.2 or use the work-around. Don't worry! Sorry for any inconvenience, Don't worry! Looking at previous mesage seems also that the ''guilty'' could be also the Microsoft XML toolkit... Many thanks. -- dott.

Re: [wpkg-users] Replace xmlhttp download with curl/wget
Mandi! Rainer Meier In chel di` si favelave... So for me there would be only one compromise we could potentially think about: Ship WPKG with a download-helper script. I ''vote'' for this compromise. ;-) Really: someone insert the download / tag, so seems to me a bad idea to remove it. So: a) extend a little with a md5= and/or sha= tag, totally ignored by the internal WSH downloader b) extend a little wpkg.js to support an external downloader, as an option (so, default use the internal) c) build an (example) external download script; i can do some try on the last, but really i've little cmd.exe knowledge... [ Indeed, this have nothing to do with my ''server side download'' script, using the global /noDownlaod switch on wpkg.js. Clearly, also my script can be easily extended to use md5 hashes... ] Sure, and even when using commands to download files it could be globally disabled by simply supporting an environment variable NO_DOWNLOAD which makes the script to skip its task and exit with code 0 instead (or alternatively still verifying the checksums). But it is a little harder to ''look at'' download rules with and external (server side) script; so, please, keep the download tag... -- dott.

Re: [wpkg-users] Replace xmlhttp download with curl/wget
Mandi! Rainer Meier In chel di` si favelave... Is there a reason this could not be done using existing commands? [...] I agree that using a special download command flag would be possible too. I would then prefer to call a cmd script (included in wplkg distribution) with all required parameters like downloader.cmd URL target MD5 Probably my english are very bad, but i mean exactly that. So this script could handle download and verification as needed using any tool you like and any flags suitable for your environment (e.g. proxy flags). Never minded about proxies. Right. Well, still I am not sure where the advantage over using this script as one of the first commands would be. + WSH, as stated in this list, have poor performance and limited features when downloading + WSH, as stated again here, have no hash function, any hash algorithm have to be implemented in pure WSH or relay on an external script So seems reasonable to, optionally, relay on an external script; seems reasonable, because we can relay on an external script, to add the 'md5' field to download / tag, that the internal WSH downloaded ignore but can be passed, optionally, to the external script. You are right, we can just use existing install / and update / tags to do so, but the download / tag just exist, and i think is more cleaner to use it.

Re: [wpkg-users] Replace xmlhttp download with curl/wget
Mandi! Falko Trojahn In chel di` si favelave... So we can have predefined options for e.g. wget or curl in wpkg.js, while preserving the possibility to use another tool. ...eg, a script (cmd suffices?!) that also check the MD5 of the file, preventing wpkg tring to install ever an ever that corrupted installer. ;-) This clearly needs an hash= or md5= field in download / tag. -- dott.

Re: [wpkg-users] Replace xmlhttp download with curl/wget
Mandi! heiko.hel...@horiba.com In chel di` si favelave... Great idea! But this'll require another external tool, because hash calculation via WSH is a world of slow. I've speaked about a script exactly for that. It is trivial in a CMD script to execute firstly curl/wget to download files, check exit code and if '0', run 'md5 -c' as in: http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/ and do and 'exit 0' if and only if both retun zero. -- dott.

Only one note (and xsd confirm me): download url=http:/www target=%TEMP% / target is a filename (path) rooted by default on the specified options 'downloadDir', not a directory. In this case you would simply specify commands which do the download. WPKG executes the commands in order specified within the package XML file. So feel free to invoke any downloader tool like wget as the first install command. [...] As you asked for a switch to globally disable WPKG downloads you might use simple environment variables to signal to your own script whether the command which executes wget would actually run or not. Cool hint. But, probably thanks to my bad english, you have probably misunderstood me a bit. When i speak of ''external program/scripts'' i don't mean an external downloader client-side (where wsh fit well), but a server-side script that parses xml files and download files, preparing the repository of installer. Now i'm using csync2 (http://oss.linbit.com/csync2/) to propagate WPKG recipes within installations, and in csync configuration i trigger an execution of my ''download script'' for every xml file update, so i can propagate the setup across sites without the fuss of propagation of software repository. For now my ''downloader script'' is a brute force hack that simply use 'xml2' to convert xml to something esier to parse with plain grep/sed/cut. Have surely to be rewritten in something more heavier (perl/php/python/...) and parse XML structure, more notably to be able to expand variables. So i needed the ''global download disable'' switch, because, really, i don't use wpkg to download files, but only the information within xml files. -- dott.

Re: [wpkg-users] Disable download switch and config options
Mandi! Rainer Meier
In chel di` si favelave...
Thanks for your analysis.
I'm proud to contribute to WPKG! ;-)
I will have a look at the issues. Unfortunately the
download feature is not very widely used and therefore I fully believe that
there are some bugs with it.
As many things, only when used get broken and fixed. ;-)
I personally rather think about extending the download feature slightly
instead
of providing a switch to disable downloads globally but keeping them in
package XML.
- WPKG might support a flag in a download tag to disable removal after
installation.
- WPKG might by default not re-download files which already exist on download
target.
Ok. a doubt on the first one, see later.
(- WPKG might verify MD5/checksum of downloaded file to check whether download
was successful; requires some more effort)
I remember vaguely that (w|c)script have no hash function
implementation internally, so it is need to use an external program or
a pure script hash implementation (that probably get sloo).
But consider that implementing a 'check if just download' function
without hash can be really dangerous... and hash check are generally
useful, not only on download.
Anyway, because was easy and i need that, i've implemented the master switch.
Patch attached.
It is my first wsh exercise, and really i've not understood if
isNoDownload() function are needed or not.
Not to master my dumb work, but i think that a master switch is still
useful. On sites where i propagate updates by the way of other mean, i
know that there's no need for download... so it make little sense to do
checks.
Generally speaking, download/nodownload for me are a ''site switch'',
not a package switch; so disable or enable checks as a package level
can be useful in theory, but i think in practice the decision to
download (and check) are taken at ''site'' level (eg, config.xml or
wpkg.js switch).
For sure the exit code shall be dependent on the install state, not on
download
state. I will verify it too.
Many thanks!

[wpkg-users] Disable download switch and config options
I've to deploy wpkg on external sites, and it is complicated to simply keep syncronized my software repository. Seems relatively simple to produce a patch against wpkg.js that add /nodownload switch and nodownload config option, so that download / nodes are simply ignored. Can i do that? It will be safely integrated in the next wpkg.js version? I want to do that because in this way i can prepare recipes that works in little environment (single computers with download enabled) and in remote mid-size LAN (where download are disabled, and i can use an external script that download centrally needed files). Probably i can simply put the 'download' tag, but clients will probably throw errors (they have no write access on %SOFTWARE%). -- dott.

I am able to connect to the server using the domain admin account I setup, and
map the necessary network drives.
Note that windows (the protocol, not the server) support only one
connection from one client to one server, even the ''guest'' ones, so
if you have a connection to \\SERVER\shareA with some credentials (i
insist, even guest one) and try to connect to \\SERVER\shareB with
other credentials, will fail.
For this, i abuse heavily on samba ''aliases'' ('netbios aliases'
smb.conf options) so i can connect to \\ALIAS1\shareA and the same time
to \\ALIAS2\shareB with different credentials.
If you use windows server, you have to look carefully at your boot
script and prevent such things.
Another source of headache could be that for a logged in user firs are
tried autheticated access, then guest access; while for the SYSTEM user
first are tried ''machine auth'' access (not supported by samba), then
guest access.
Relax temporarly your share access rules, and if access succeeded,
double check guest access.

Re: [wpkg-users] Using BITS to transfer files?
Mandi! Rainer Meier In chel di` si favelave... So please consider setting up a distributed WPKG configuration where local nodes fetch packages from a local software repository server. I add some consideration. I agree, but i've also found the limit of these approach syncing a full repository within sites that are connected with slow VPN link, instead of using the full (local) internet speed. Some days ago i've asked some more info on the download tag: http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/2010-December/007134.html (with no answer at all) exactly because the internal repository have some limit, and the download tag also. 1) samba does not support accessing shares using machine account, so there's no way to setup a shared repository for the download tag, apart a repository with ''full write from everyone'' that i don't want to setup. 2) if i setup a local dir, clearly every wpkg invocation redownload the file So i'm asking some info on download tag, because it is not clear how to use it (at least for me) reading the wiki. My goal would be to add to package the downoad tag, have the ability to globally ''disable'' it in wpkg.js and insted use an external script that parse the xml structure and download the package saving them in the right repository. Ok, i can use for that some ''xml comment'' in the recupes, but clearly use the just provided download tags could be more cleaner... -- dott.

Re: [wpkg-users] [BUG?] On upgrade old check condition are parsed...
Mandi! Rainer Meier
In chel di` si favelave...
Sure it would. For most users upgrades would be completely skipped all the
time
if WPKG would first use the checks before installation and if they succeed
skip
the update. Most packages simply use a check on uninstall entries which
No, i don't think at skipping upgrades, but:
if (revision changed) {
if (check condition = true) # so package installed
do_upgrade()
else# so package not installed
do_install()# using new recipe install command
}
This indeed does not cure my ''vlc problem'' (because clearly the
current check condition have to be evaluated, not the new one...) but
permit me to write (at least for me ;) simple recipes.
Thanks.

[wpkg-users] [BUG?] On upgrade old check condition are parsed...
I've hit a VLC installer bug of version 1.1.0, on (un)install simply the installer crash and delete the uninstall.exe binary. Subsequent execution of the recipe simply stall. So i've complicated the check condition looking also at the uninstaller: check type=logical condition=and check type=uninstall condition=exists path=VLC media player 1.1.4 / check type=file condition=exists path='%ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\uninstall.exe' / /check and added to the install action some brute-force: install cmd='%COMSPEC% /c if exist %ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\uninstall.exe start /wait %ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\uninstall.exe /S _?=%ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC' / install cmd='%COMSPEC% /c if not exist %ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\uninstall.exe if exist %ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe rd /q /s %ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN' / install cmd='reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\VLC media player /va /f' / install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\vlc-1.1.4-win32.exe /S' / But i've discovered that anyway the ''upgrade'' actions are executed, even if the new check condition are false for a ''broken'' vlc installation.

Should this be possible? Would I have to remove all ...consider that upgrading wpkgclient by the way of wpkgclient is, anyway and everityme, a ''deadlock-prone'' process. indeed. In my experience upgrading wpkgclient by himself works, apart some corner case that have to be handled by hand (buggy pc, ...). Also changing wpkgclient configuration work. I suggest you a ''two fold'' process, upgrading first the client, and then upgrade the coniguration. I use a ''wpkgclient'' recipe for the client and a ''wpkgclient-settings'' recipe for pushing new settings on the client; normally not used, but... ;))) Also, what is the best way to use wpkg to change the administrator account password on windows xp and vista? I've built an hack to change administrator password, using only ''standard'' tools. Simply via wpkg i trigger an access to a samba share, that have guest access enabled and via ''root preexec'' run a ''smbpasswd'' agains the calling machine, using a perl wrapper script. Client need to have ''file and printer sharing'' enabled and no firewall on that part, but works, and via a simple semaphore file i can instruct wpkg to retry if something failed. With this approach i prevent to put the password on client-side, the password remains only server-side. -- dott.

[wpkg-users] TrueCrypt again...
I need to deploy TrueCrypt, and this seems a non-trivial task... 1) TrueCrypt authors seems totally irresponsive to make a silent install or a standard (better MSI) one. Look at TC forums, some reply are very astonishing... boh... 2) but TC installer do a very easy thing: copy .sys files and .exe files in respective directory and setup the service with .sys. Docs say that and also a manual registry diff before and after the installation confirm that. 3) so a solution like the manual service install proposed by Brian May seems suffice: http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/2009-September/005713.html I'm not very used to work woth drivers, so my fear with this approach are on upgrade: i can simply copy over the old .sys the new one? Even if i use full disk encryption? Googling around, a good approach would be: a) with a repackager, create an MSI file, for example: http://www.doitrightconsulting.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8t=94 someone have feedback on this .msi? b) create simply a .inf file and install the driver via DPInst: http://www.msigeek.com/285/creating-installation-for-device-driver-applications-using-dpinst but the method proposed (install manually and get .inf file from %WINDOR%\inf\ folder) does not work because again the TC installer install the driver manually.

Re: [wpkg-users] Excluding particular OS and architecture types from patch application
Mandi! Rainer Meier In chel di` si favelave... It's nice to ask giving the full power of unlimited flexibility to the user but... [...] WPKG is already very flexible and powerful due to the fact that it allows you to execute any command and any script/tool in order to reach your goal, whatever it might be. I perfectly agree with you. For that i think that add to WPKG ''os detection code'' is the wrong way, but here we are speaking about ''adding conditional execution/parsing'' of some XML node, that i think is more general and more WPKG-way... ;) I have no clue where this reluctance from writing scripts is coming from. Sure Clearly, xenophobia. ;-) I think that there's no need to ask why there's so much programming languages... In CMD i particulary hate to write exit codes conditions, while using ''one install / line per command'' approach it is very easy. So for now I repeat again that I am thinking about OS version and architecture dependencies but for now please accept that you can do exactly the same using some simple CMD scripts. If you don't like it just don't use it, everyone else just uses the possibilities available and reaches the goal with low effort.

I know one can use if %PROCESDSOR_ARCHITECTURE% == x86 but it would remove some of the duplicated code and reduce possibility of a mistake If this is a contest i definitely vote for a os='' and arch='' tag in nodes (package, install|upgrade|remove, ...). I'm not a WSH programmer (i'm not a programmer at all ;), but seems to me that can be easily implemented without disrupt all the WPKG code (a simple condition before loading the node...). I think that the source of check could be some environment variable (%WPKG_OS% and %WPKG_ARCH%?) that can be calculated on pre-script, without adding to WPKG code the 'os detection' code that can clearly be a mess.

Re: [wpkg-users] Excluding particular OS and architecture types from patch application
Mandi! Rainer Meier In chel di` si favelave... I will definitely think about such a feature - or something similar. But I will not include such a thing on short notice. Good! Even the logic behind quite simple. Instead of defining a profile which assigns some packages only to specific OS or OS versions it just assigns the package to the profile - no matter if the machines in this profile run OS x or OS y. The [...] In addition I thin it's wrong to define in the package definition whether the package should be applied to the node. I would rather prefer to define OS dependency in profile specification. So one could specify that a specific package is applied to the profile only if OS/Version matches. I think both. As your script, could be that i can define a package that do different things (actions, checks, ...) for different install. But also i can define different package for different OS. Third, could be that i can define the same package (name) but with two or more specification for two or more OS. But i think that this will work good only in conjunction with some ''metapackage'' definition ala dpkg/rpm... The base rule are: leave to recipe writer the power: clearly if a package is strictly os or arch tagged and cited on another package as dependencies, wpkg will complain that package deps was not satisfiable. But this does not brake WPKG logic nor add a real layer of complexity in debugging recipe writing... Exposing some variables like WPKG_OS or WPKG_ARCH to the app/script run by WPKG would probably simplify script-writing slightly. But honestly I don't see much simplification for my scripts whether I have to write You're right, indeed there's no a big difference between yor script and this. But i consider XML a more ''self documenting'' format, and really i hate CMD scripting that turn in really unreadable pieces of code. Apart that in XML there's a finer error handling, put every command in a install / statement... Clerarly, it's my opinion. ;-) -- dott.

But i can confirm also that does not work for network shares, and also that there's no answer in samba list.

[wpkg-users] Forcing a second reboot...
I'm moving in my organization from symantec corporate edition to kaspersky as AV solution. I'm doing some tests with WPKG, disinstalling old AV and installing new one. I'm using WPKG 'install on shutdown'. I've done some test, and: - symantec are correctly removed - then, kaspersky network client got installed - then kaspersky AV fail saying 'reboot needed before installing' after that, machine shut down/reboot, but at next startup... the machine are without AV until next shutdown. I cannot keep machines an entire day without AV... ;((( I've tried to add to 'network agent' installation a row like: install cmd='schtasks /create /tn KNA forced reboot /sc ONSTART /ru SYSTEM /tr shutdown /r /t 5 /f' / but does not work, probably because the 'shutdown' executed on startup are ignored (the scheduled task are correctly installed and work runned by hand). How can i force a reboot at next boot? ONLOGON will suffice?

Re: [wpkg-users] Bug 176...
Mandi! Marco Gaiarin In chel di` si favelave... Installing at shutdown, when not connected to a network, just exits with a wpkg.js file not found error. I will do some test tomorrow, but also with 'offline mode' disabled, i got the same error. Ok, probably i've maked some mistakes, i can confirm that with 'install at shutdown', with offline mode disabled, it works. I confirm also that installing at shutdown, seems that 'offline mode' are pretty useless. Some note: 1) still if i manually stop or restart wpkg service, the service does not cleanly shut off, i have to kill it. 2) if wpkg service are killed (or die) i have to wait all the 'max wait time' (as happens on startup, indeed); Here (in shutdown) we can check this, i hope directly in WPKClient, but we can also add this to -pre script, for example: http://www.hiteksoftware.com/knowledge/email/045.htm 3) (cosmetic) if it is true that offline mode does not make sense for execute on shutdown, i think it is better to move the entire tabs under the execution mode, or at least make it 'grey' when on shutdown are selected. Also, the 'stop service when all done' check i think can be safely moved in this tab, this really does not make sense on shutdown. I hope i was useful, i seek some feedback. -- dott.

Re: [wpkg-users] Bug 176...
Mandi! Pendl Stefan In chel di` si favelave... The pre-shutdown-delay setting of a service is only taken into account at shutdown, if you manually stop the service, this is not recognized by the service control mechanism. I think it should be possible to overcome this problem, since the wuauclt service has a pre-shutdown-delay set too, but you can successfully stop the automatic update service manually. I'm speaking about 'logon delay' feature of WPKG... 2) if wpkg service are killed (or die) i have to wait all the 'max wait time' (as happens on startup, indeed); Here (in shutdown) we can check this, i hope directly in WPKClient, but we can also add this to -pre script, for example: http://www.hiteksoftware.com/knowledge/email/045.htm Clearly i'm completely wrong. The 'logon/logoff delay' feature are done by the way of wpkgMessage.exe, and the fact that WPKGServ.exe service helper does not run imply that pre, wpkg.js and post script cannot be run. Indeed in wpkgMessage.exe have to be added some logic that check for the status of WPKGServ.exe service/process, and if died or stalled, exit. I hope now i was clear. PS: at least the fact that everytime i try to stop WPKGServ service they go in a spurious state and i have to manually kill it can be fixed? It is very annoying... -- dott.

Re: [wpkg-users] Definition change/Version #
Mandi! Sean Kennedy In chel di` si favelave... As I build packages and deploy them, I've discovered errors within them. Naturally, I fix these errors, but if wpkg doesn't detect a version status change ( either through the revision # on the package, nor it's internal checks ), it doesn't copy the new package definition to it's local cache. Sitting here it occurs to me that I might just be able to increment the revision number on the package, and it copies the new package information to it's local cache. If there are no upgrade commands, will the only action taken be that of wpkg updating it's local cache of the package definition? You can increment the revision and the package definition will be updated in the local 'db' (wpkg.xml). Clearly also the package itself get updated: some package are too small that does not fuss, most of the .msi installer are smart and a second installation over the current substantially does nothing. But other installer are big and dumb, and force big network transfers and cpu time for installation. Probably the 'revision' can be splitted in two part, one that upgrade the package, one that upgrade only the recipes. But effectively you can remove the 'upgrade' part temporarly and increment the revision. -- dott.
