Hi all, Scripts has got some attention and now it's time for a new release. This is a release candidate that will make it to final this Sunday, unless any showstoppers arise before then.
This is a bugfix release with only minor changes. The changes are in use flags, that InstallPackage now installs applications over same version if revisions differ, and it's now possible to duplicate all output to file (with all scripts) using --logfile. The major bugfix is that FiboSandbox and --no-sandbox can now install applications needing Settings during install phase, which include Glibc. Also applied are several Rootless fixes, that Question don't mess up return values from subfunctions, and safe linking now handles sbin and libexec directories correctly. As well, configuration of generic flags is now merged into UseFlags.conf, since the new parser supports that and it makes them more discoverable. UpdateSettings will do its best to merge the change if you haven't edited them; otherwise, just concatenate the contents of GenericFlags.conf into UseFlags.conf and delete it. The tools will continue reading GenericFlags.conf for a few releases to allow a smooth transition. Two minor additions to go with that: generic:+ foo and generic:- foo are shortcuts to add and remove flags from a generic. The package is available from http://karlsson.sytes.net/gobo/packages/Scripts--2.9.10rc1--i686.tar.bz2. To try it out issue InstallPackage http://karlsson.sytes.net/gobo/packages/Scripts--2.9.10rc1--i686.tar.bz2 at the prompt. Please give it a try and report any bugs you run into. -Michael
