DEEPIN desktop

Deepin might be suspected of having a "backdoor" inside.

Therefore "Deepin desktop" cann't be directly built by "ISO builder".
If you need it, before executing "ISO builder", you need edit the shell script.

After booting APorteus-vNN.NN.NN-i486.iso / APorteus-vNN.NN.NN-x86_64.iso up,
edit "/usr/local/bin/guibuildiso" from a terminal.

Looks Nice , the amount of work you put out is amazing.

@Evan
Thank you for your interest.
I am afraid that my low quality ISO might hurt something.

Thanks.

The most serious issue is its size (300 M).

Although you're totally right, I have to confess that I laughed out loud with it!

Maybe this topic can help you. I used that command to shrink LXQt module size. You just need to keep all applications you want to provide opened at the same time, and then run the command to see all the libraries that are being used, so you can almost safely remove the others (inside /usr/lib64, of course).

@fulalas
Thank you for your help.
It is very interest for me to slim modules up.
I didn't know the command lsof, I will study it.

Thanks.

1. These ISOs are for feeling the taste of "DEEPIN desktop" APorteus.

ISO size: 415/412 M

2. The deepin modules size has been reduced down to 37 % (30 %).
APorteus-DEEPIN-v17.06.14-i486/porteus/base: 003-1deepin.xzm,003-2deepin.xzm,003-3deepin.xzm,003-4deepin.xzm,003-z.deepin.xzm

@Evan, thank you for your warning.


4. "APorteus ISO Builder" are updated to v17.06.23

New "ISO builder" include "DEEPIN desktop".
But it doesn't appear in desktop menu without the script edit.
(refer to item 3)

Please refer to http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... c3c#p36689


Thanks.

@neko, all I have to say is: wow! You've shrank it insanely! Congratulations! How did you do that?

I'll give it a try soon.

[neko]

@fulalas
Thank you for your interest.
The old big size ISO running was analyzed by "lsof" command that you introduced to me.
It was usefull to get the information, "what packages are needed".
Thank you for your help.

I will resume analyzing the "Kernel Builder" issue which you pointed out.

Thanks.

[fulalas]

Oh, I see. I'm glad I could help you on that.

BTW, I gave it a try and at least inside VirtualBox if I click on the settings (small gear icon), the menu at right appears and disappears very quickly so I can't actually use it. Do you know why?

Also, maybe it would be great if you include a task manager (lxtask is nice because it's light).

[neko]

@fulalas
Thank you for your quick testing report.

1. "Control Center" window disappears soon
I will search by the key "deepin control center",
and then report the result (after "Kernel Builder").

2. "lxtask"
It was added.
Next sample that will be uploaded will include "lxtask".


Thanks.

"Archlinux rolling-release problem"
lxterminal package was updated from 0.3.0-1 to 0.3.0-2.
This update causes the following usage to be illegal result.

[in shell script]
------------------
lxterminal --command="buildiso $MSGBISO locale=\"$MSGLANG\" desktop=$DESKTOPS web=$BROWSERS im=$IMETHOD"
------------------

Many tools in APorteus use lxterminal in a shell script to display the progress of programe.
Therefor this update should be avoided by using old version 0.3.0-1.

[How to avoid]
== Next release ==
The most recent lxterminal package is included in 002-xorg.xzm.
old version 0.3.0-1 will be included in 002-z.xorg.xzm.
The most recent version will be overwritten with old version.

== Patch ==
Please activate patch module from XTERM terminal.

hi neko, maybe you know this arch packages but i think give you the link, deb2arch packages : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/debtap
this is the tread in arch forum : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=187558

[neko]

@beny
Thank you for your information.
I didn't know "debtap".
So, I wrote a "deb2dir" shell script.
I will study the debtap.

Thanks.
