sqf file

vikrang · 03-02-2011, 07:01 AM

I visited the website of git which contains the sqf files

http://gitorious.org/sbopkg-slackware-queues

..I dont know where to download the file ..There seems to be no download link and the site is pretty confusing for me which has some unique terms like "watch", "Push" ,"Commit","Merge","clone" "Pull" and so on!Queue files seem to be a very nice concept however and I want to test it.

After downloading , I have to start sbopkg and use the option for "Create build"? and how do I refrence the sqf file?should it reside in the same directory in which I run sbopkg?

Pl guide me!

http://sbopkg.org/queues.php

to use mauro's queues I think the faster way can be to

Code:

cd /var/lib/sbopkg
mv queues old.queues
git clone git://gitorious.org/sbopkg-slackware-queues/sbopkg-slackware-queues.git queues

after you can launch the build of your application and it will use the queues you just downloaded (if placed there).

The README-queuefiles document is also on your local storage in /usr/doc/sbopkg-$VERSION along with lots of other useful files. Ponce is probably right about the best option for gitorious but, if you want a tarball, click on the 'commits' or 'source tree' button-thing and, on the right, there'll be a 'download master as tar.gz' thing. The '"watch", "Push" ,"Commit","Merge","clone" "Pull"' stuff is web 2.0 site-specific stuff (watch) or is git terminology (all the rest) so you can learn about git if you want to know those but they aren't important for your main purpose. (Ponce has given you all you need (git clone) if you want the git repo.)

Thanks Ponce and Slakmagik...

I cloned the repository as suggested and now have a huge array of applications !!..Thx a lot !! I also successfully installed some apps!

I have a general doubt ..Supppose due to some reason the net gets disconnected , can I continue downloading from where it left (RESUME facility)?

Also Do I have to periodically clone the repos for any additions/deletions made by the maintainer?

Yes and no: sbopkg uses wget for downloading and has it set to retry 5 times and to continue downloads, so the intent is to continue. However, if wget fails and you exit sbopkg (or you just exit sbopkg), you'd have to start the download over.

Well, yes but you'd 'fetch' or 'pull' his updates. You could do this whenever you wanted or make it a cron job.
