@ncmprhnsbl, and others: could user supplied xzm modules be hosted in a directory under http://porteus.org/porteus-mirrors.html allowing module providers to upload? Then possibly indexing the modules at https://pkgs.org/ or another aggregator -- at the moment Porteus isn't even listed

I'm not in favor of that idea but a webpage on the porteus-mirrors.html with links to the Porteus forum topics about user xzm modules would be useful imho.

Hi rych,
that's a good idea
Currently you can find xzm modules here and there and everywhere
Very tedious if you are looking for a very specific module

When looking for modules here I find this works with Google:
site:forum.porteus.org modulename.xzm
site:forum.porteus.org modulename.xzm

Is Porteus already illegal by not hosting the source code of all programs and libraries present, which is an obligation in 90% of open source licenses? A greater tragedy would be if users could upload anything, including proprietary software, it would surely become a den of piracy.

Most people would not know, but porteus-mirrors.html is just created by a very simple bash script by yours truly that I gave to one admin years ago. Prior to that it was just a text file with no links (called porteus-mirrors.txt - that is also still online: http://porteus.org/porteus-mirrors.txt )rych wrote: ↑12 Aug 2023, 09:51@ncmprhnsbl, and others: could user supplied xzm modules be hosted in a directory under http://porteus.org/porteus-mirrors.html
For now I do not find the script locally but I recall parts of this code:
Code: Select all
<html><head><title>porteus-mirrors.txt - created on 2018-02-19</title>
<style type="text/css">body { color:#6f3; background-color:#000;} a:link { color:#66f; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; } a:visited { color:#a6d; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; } a:focus, a:hover { color:#f33; text-decoration:none; background-color:#fff; font-weight:bold; } a:active { color:#fff; background-color:#000; font-weight:bold; } </style>
Code: Select all
http://
https://
ftp://
If the line starts any other way, the line stays as it is.
It is a very simple script and sure not very foolproof, but when you give it a sane input file it does its job well enough.
But that has nothing to do with hat OP is asking. Just some background info how porteus-mirrors.html gets created.
Cheers!

There is now the Porteus eXchange Telegram group:
https://t.me/PorteusX
...where we can exchange our modules, in appropriate subforums which in Telegram are called "topics". Telegram will host our modules for free indefinitely with unspecified limits (limitless). Telegram has a nice Telegram client for Windows and Linux.

Hi rych.
Great idea.
Telegram seem to only be for a phone unless I missed something, as usual.
I do not have a phone.

You can run the desktop version, but that needs your phone Telegram app to sent you its confirmation so you can log into you account using the desktop version.
Sounds Kafkaesque ? Pretty much.
So yeah. I created an extra thread for that :
Telegram questions

Thanks Rava. I saw your thread after I posted.
Also thanks because now I know who Franz Kafka is.
