Two questions:
1) Anyone know when the slitaz.org sites are going to be available again?
(www,hg,cook, ... they timeout on me currently)
2) I posted on the forums regarding trying to get a self made package added
to a custom made flavor. (tazlito doesn't seem to wanna pick it up, and I
think I'm doing things correctly because I can add any other official
packages to my flavor and it's fine) Figuring I was being naive about not
actually needing the chroot jail just to cook my package and flavor, I'm
trying again to use the chroot instructions. The question is, which one? I
saw the heated thread regarding cookutils and tazwok, and hopefully I don't
dredge up any ill feelings about that again, but, I have to ask!
I can't get tazwok to build a chroot jail at all.. fails dependencies. (at
one point I saw that I received an error regarding gcc not being able to
create executables.. but I don't know where logs are so I couldn't debug)
I did get the cookutils working, fairly easily, but I'm not sure the
receipts are fully compatible? The problem is, the source I need to compile
isn't a straight forward tarball. For one, you download a zip which contains
a zip, for the sources. (double decompression) The other is that their site
requires a (different?) User-Agent so I have to sent it to 'Mozilla/5.0'
just to download it in the first place. With tazwok, all I had to do was
create a custom download() function, EG;
download()
{
wget --user-agent 'Mozilla/5.0' $@
}
As well, I had to set the COOK_OPTS !unpack and handle the
extraction/compilation myself, but.. with tazwok, that works perfectly. As
near as I can tell, cookutils is completely ignoring my download and unpack
routines. (I get past the download by doing it manually)
Soo.. I don't really care which cook utility I use, just as long as I can
get one or the other to work. The question is, how? If someone can suggest a
better way to replace the download and unpack in cookutils receipts, I think
that'd be quicker to get me going. But, if it helps to get tazwok going, I'm
all for that too. In fact, I can do a lot of the leg work, I'm well versed
in shell, but I would need some guidance. I've been trying to avoid jumping
into the tools, but if I can help.. I most definitely will.
Thanks for any advice!
