Porteus

Hi:

I want to replace some libs from 05-devel.

I've read about extracting from the module at http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... ule#p20985, but what about replacing, not just removing?.

The fact is that, from 05-devel.xzm , I want to replace some libs/pckgs for newer versions:

• binutils-2.23.52.0.1
  bison-2.7
  cmake-2.8.12
  gcc-4.8.2
  gcc-g++-4.8.2
  glibc-2.17
  gtext-tools-0.18.2.1
  m4-1.4.17

and include others:

• gcc-fortran-4.8.2
  gcc-java-4.8.2
  gcc-objc-4.8.2
  gdb-7.6.1
  glibc-profile-2.17

Can You give me information about these task?

Thanks in advance for your help.

By replace you could mean, remove old version and add new version.
Follow the above steps and remove and install slackware packages then recreate your new module a the end. If you're going to be removing glibc then good luck!

@RamonTavarez

you are replacing core packages so be aware that we are not going to resolve issues caused by this setup.

@ fanthom & @brokenman:

Thanks for your advice and instructions.

Question about replacing (updating): Can I cause serious conflicts replacing some pckgs by newers (updating )?

Questions about including: I have noticed that the debugger isn't included into 05-devel.xzm, I want to include GDB-7.xx to complete my development platform with "official" debugger. Do I really need to avoid this insertion?, why gdb isn't included?

Regards!

Replacing the core linux libraries (glibc) will certainly cause problems. With other less core centric packages you may not have problems.

If you are using Porteus-v3.0 simply update USM: usm -u all and then run: usm -g gdb

There are no dependencies required. It probably wasn't included in the dev package as it is non essential and adds an extra 2Mb.

@brokenman:

Thanks.

I'll take care about glibc!

A last question: after intallpckg (for each lib) I need to reassemble 05-devel.xzm, as far as I remember I just use the command dir2xzm. Is there need of any other step before dir2xzm?

Regards.

No other step required. Just unpack, remove/install, repack using dir2xzm. Good luck.

@brokenman:

Thanks again for your instructions!

I did as you recommended and everything is ok (until now).

Best regards.
