Hello all, I have updated version 1.1.3 and pushed the files to the servers last night. This version is a beta for what will be autopackage 1.2. Public packages should _not_ be generated against this release as this is a testing release only. The downloads are ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/autopackage/1.1.3/ As I can not generate gtkfe, if someone gets the package to me I will place it in the directory. Commands to automatically install version 1.1.3: wget ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/autopackage/1.1.3/Autopackage%20Development%20Environment%201.1.3.package package remove autopackage-devel autopackage-gtk autopackage AUTOPACKAGE_RUNTIME_VERSION=1.1.3 bash "Autopackage Development Environment 1.1.3.package" As compatibility is a primary focus, Taj and I have placed a number of packages http://www.wildgardenseed.com/Taj/autopackage/1.2-testpackages/ to try to make obtaining and testing fairly easy. This repository is temporary only for testing purposes. Items from beta1: * AUTOPACKAGE_WGET_OPTIONS added to config to control wget execution * makeinstaller outputs to console install commands after analyzing build root * apkg-mimetype.xsl: Fix namespace handling so input document can have default namespace * `package files` command works properly * Fix/updated skeletons: pyglade, pydns, python-xml, dnspython, ghostscript, python, cups, pysqlite * Fix locateCommand() to only return results on executable files not directories * Install libstdc++.so.[56] and libgcc_s.so.1 as necessary on target machine. Brought forward from 1.0.x. * Add compareVersion to AtLeast routine instead of SV comparisons * List displayname and shortname of breakable packages when a supported package is removed * Allow package to be removed if forced by package script switch '-f' * In installIcon(): Add call to gtk-update-icon-cache and include --ignore-theme-index as needed * Run _prepareCxxBinaries in backend.template only when AutopackageTarget > '1.0' Questions and Answers for beta 1 & 2: * compatibility testing of packages (All) Ongoing work of many * installConfig - is this function available/updated for use (Hongli/Taj) Patch being worked on - function could still be deprecated for 1.2 * should the reporting be sent to another server name like reporting.autopackage.org (Mike) Not determined yet * check that install* functions can handle wildcards for filenames (Taj/Curtis) Unit test added for wildcards in copyFiles() so install* can use wildcards * focus on messages to reduce total count and improve readability (Curtis/All) Isak reduced some messages and removed makeinstaller strings for translation Regards, the autopackage developers --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: autopackage-dev-unsubscribe@...
