babam, tried to build 'audacity' twice with your new offering....same status.

it does not go ahead to the next dependency, when 'expat' shows server error...

'pacman' always skips the server showing error and goes to the next in line.

Try this:

Code: Select all

getmod -n audacity GConf gnome-vfs libid3tag portmidi

And I download via my browser not wget.

Then you will always get the current time (unless you use a downloading AddOn that supports setting the file date/time stamp of the downloads to what the server tells.)
But like I said, drive.gøøgle.cøm or mediafir€.com are incapable of giving that info, but many servers do, like the porteus mirrors for your xzm updates or ISO's.

And usually I also download my 011-slapt-get-0.11.6-x86_64-2gv-YYYY-MM.DD.xzm via browser since it will also only get the current date/time when the download happened when done by wget due to the above mentioned incapability.

@babam, i notice you're using a block size of 1 MB in the mksquashfs.. my understanding is that while this gives a better compression ratio(smaller module) it also leads to more ram usage (because in the aufs on demand loop mounting, bigger chunks (than maybe necessary) are loaded)
might not matter much with some small programs(or bigger ones?) or if you have plenty of ram..
when we experimented with this (1 MB block size) on the whole system, the extra memory usage was quite noticable, in the hundreds of MBs ...
so we stuck with 256K..

spitballing: maybe with locales: detect the system default ($LANG) and retain that one (or an option to do so)
maybe an option to retain the man pages (or just the localized ones)

Hi

I notice that getmod is broken:

my getmod module:
ca26bb28deacb3121ef50f1845608c55 011-slapt-get-0.11.6-x86_64-2gv_2020.10.21.xzm

Now that I tried using getmod I have issues as well.
It does download packages… but why it was neat to begin with - building modules - it no longer does. Look for youself.
First parameter -M

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/# TMP=/7/tmp/ getmod -M mucommander-0.9.0-noarch-1salix15.0

then parameter -m

Do you want to continue? [y/N] y

Done

The files are there (in GETMOD/mucommander-0.9.0-noarch-1salix15.0/salix/[…] hierarchy - see below), but why it did not build the modules, I have no clue:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/# ls -od $(find /7/tmp/GETMOD/mucommander-0.9.0-noarch-1salix15.0/salix/ -name '*.txz')|cut -c 19-

I couldn't wait. Getmod was blocked for every package and every -s option
I have done fresh mode to delete /changes/var/lib/pkgtools/packages/
Don't understand why it is in change since it is static. Come from xzm module

Reboot and getmod work properly

Good for you, Benji, but after I rebooted its the same old fail as above for me:

Any ideas?
Is is a bug specific to the "011-slapt-get-0.11.6-x86_64-2gv_2020.10.21.xzm" version?
