[SOLVED] Sbosrcarch and third party package managers

travis82 · 12-01-2015, 09:48 AM

Hi

As you know third party package manager which have the ability to deal with SBo (sbopkg, sbotools, slpkg) always look at .info files to find the location of source files. I wonder how to use these tools so that they download source files from sbosrcarch instead?
One possible way would be manually editing .info files (I think this will work for sbotools). However, using this method for every single package would be a nightmare. What do you think? do you know a more automated way to do this?

sbopkg already has an experimental feature in a development branch -- see https://github.com/sbopkg/sbopkg/com...42287d31958d88

slackrepo automatically tries slackbuildsdirectlinks if the location in the .info file fails for any reason, I'm going to extend this for sbosrcarch in the very near future.

I'm intending to make sbotools able to check sbosrcarch automatically if a download fails, there's an issue about it on github: https://github.com/pink-mist/sbotools/issues/7
I just haven't had time to code it yet, but I don't think it will be too hard to do.

I have suggested that in salix forum too. seems that gapan want to do something about it:

https://github.com/gapan/repo-scripts/issues/1

Anyway, I think it would be necessary feature for source based package manager so that users have the ability to use different repositories same as binary ones. However, I don't know how much work needed as I know nothing about coding.

Thank you very much. I am looking forward to see how it goes for slackrepo and sbotools

Code:

# slpkg -s sbo [package...] --download-only --directory-prefix=[dir]

Maybe I couldn't clarify my purpose due to my English languages. As far as I understood this command just download source files and store them in a specific location. I didn't mean that. I referred to an option which can give the user the ability to change source based repositories during dealing with SBo packages. For example using sbosrcarch for downloading source of jdk package instead oracle site which has been mentioned in "DOWNLOAD" field of jdk.info.

PS: Why does there is nothing about --download-only in slpkg man page?

It is in the man page. Under the -s, --sync section.

Code:

--resolve-off : Switch off automatic resolve dependencies.

--download-only : Download packages without install.

--directory-prefix=[path/to/dir/] : Download packages in specific directory.

I've made sbotools try sbosrcarch if the regular download fails or doesn't verify.
If you'd like to try it out you can get a release candidate of the source here: sbotools-1.10RC1.tar.gz
or a ready-made package here: sbotools-1.10RC1-noarch-1_SBo.tgz

There's also some other improvements in there, but they're not too relevant to the issue at hand =)
Please report any issues you find at https://github.com/pink-mist/sbotools/issues or the #sbotools irc channel on freenode.

@mralk3
Thanks Brenton and Sorry Dimitris for my bad mistake. Next time I will open my eyes before posting.

@Suppy
Thanks a lot. I will use it and report the results.

Edit: --download-only doesn't exits in man page of slpkg-3.0.0 which I was using. Seems that it has been added to 3.0.2 version.

Thanks suppy, I haven't been faced any problem yet.

I have another suggestion, Is it possible to extend this feature to local source repo too? I mean since sbotools have the ability to keep source files in a dedicated directory, is it possible to give priority to this directory by sboinstall command so that sboinstall first looks for given version of source files in this directory then main source repo and then sbosrcarch? This feature will prevent re-downloading already downloaded source files.

Thanks again.

If you're talking about the /usr/sbo/distfiles directory, then if that has a source file with the right name and md5 it will be used instead of downloading already. So long as you don't sboclean -d at least.

If that wasn't what you meant, please submit a feature request on the issues page =)
