2006-09-08 Thread Paul Traina
The 2.x distribution had one particularly nice feature that I'd like to see reimplemented in 3.x. From the looks of it, saving the config currently only checks the collection of config files enumerated in /var/lib/lrpkg/*.config. There are times when I need ancillary scripts and crap on the ro

Hello Paul, Basically, apkg.mergefile gives you a "pre-merged" diff between 2 files, i.e. an hybrid format between the full file and a diff -u (to allow easy edition) apkg.merge let one choose between one version of a file or the other or edit the "pre-merged" version of both apkg -u uses apkg.mer

OK, what I'd like to do is reproduce the build sequence that you guys use, exactly, to create the CD. What I'd like to do is have a unified build from scratch and build from source environment (perhaps modulo lrpstat). Is there any documentation on that? --

I'm going to try to pound out something to do this, unless someone tells me that there's already a better way of doing it. I don't quite understand apkg.merge yet so I'm still scratching my head on how to do it most efficiently. I would like some functionality that would generate a diff -u file o

Hi Paul, A few comments: -We do have tar -X, so you can use that. Take a look at the apkg upgrade code for an example. -The hardcoded name of the modules repository is somewhat ugly, maybe you can do something with "uname" to find the kernel version. Eric > Here's what I was talking about... th

2006-09-08 Thread Eric Spakman
Hi Paul, Sounds interesting, but you can also unpack the modules tarball on one of the storage media, mount it and load the modules directly from there (some examples in the /etc/modules file). But I like this idea, it's very easy this way to create or update a moddb on a running system. Eric
