Nemesis revival

[francois]

I have been discussing with jack about reviving nemesis, now that porteus 3.2 is on the rail. We do not expect brokenman to take an active role in this initiative, unless he really insists. I think that our only developper and his wife merit a well desered holiday.

We would like from the nemesis iso, to be able to upgrade nemesis, and then as jack proposed to modify nemesis in the following way:
What I like to do is update the modules in 001, 002 and 003 but I'm not sure how to do it that way they would be current

Personally, I am going to try to update with cscs solution:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/problem-wit ... on/11714/2
... sign in with username/pass
run these commands:

sudo pacman-mirrors -g
sudo pacman -Syyu
This does not work.

Your suggestions are welcomed.

[Blaze]

Don't forget about dcadec bug. A new plan

Code: Select all

root
toor
setup-pman
rm -rf /usr/lib/libdcadec.so.0
pacman -S dcadec
pacman-mirrors -g
pacman -Syyu

[Jack]

I just try to upgrade Nemesis version 3.5 and receive this ERROR.

And I even fixed this ERROR dcadec

What I want to do is upgrade all 001 modules. When I get done with 001 move to 002 and so on tell they are all up to date. If there was a script to download the files then do the upgrade.

I know in Slackware there is this.

Code: Select all

xzm2dir 001-core.xzm /tmp/unpacked
ROOT=/tmp/unpacked upgradepkg gimp
dir2xzm /tmp/unpacked /tmp/new-001-core.xzm

And there is this.

Code: Select all

xzm2dir 001-core.xzm /tmp/unpacked
ROOT=/tmp/unpacked removepkg gimp
dir2xzm /tmp/unpacked /tmp/new-001-core.xzm

Is there anything like this for Nemesis?

[francois]

What is needed is the mksquashfs and unsquashfs command. They should be included in nemesis. I am no expert of the command. Here is some useful indications by fanthom and another additional link that I have found on the net:
http://porteus-kiosk.org/modules.html

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/SquashFS-HOWTO/cr ... using.html

More informed users should come to rescue.

I all ready put 001, 002 and so on in there own directory by doing xzm2dir and I have a file list of each of them. Here is the files in 001-core.

@jack:
For the rebuilding of the packages maybe you should have a look at stifiling procedure:
http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=2386

You can make your own .xzm modules and this is the way i've been doing it. It's really better to start from an absolute new installation, ...

Packages under manjaro or arch are located in:
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/

[Jack]

I have this from brokenman made for Slackware and wish there was one for Nemesis. It will let you download each file one by one tell you get them all. http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... =15#p41143 It would make life a little easy and easy to make new Nemesis.

francois

Packages under manjaro or arch are located in:
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/

Here is where I found my list of packages at.

/var/lib/pacman/local

[francois]

It seems you have it better than me. You are right /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ is where the individual packages resides and these in nemesis have been striped out.

xzm2dir works in command line:

Code: Select all

root /mnt/sda5/1_nemesis/porteus/modules # xzm2dir xorg-utils-7.6-9-any.xzm xorg-utils-7.6-9-any

 $2 does not exist. 
root /mnt/sda5/1_nemesis/porteus/modules # mkdir xorg-utils-7.6-9-any
root /mnt/sda5/1_nemesis/porteus/modules # xzm2dir xorg-utils-7.6-9-any.xzm xorg-utils-7.6-9-any
Parallel unsquashfs: Using 4 processors
38 inodes (37 blocks) to write

created 38 files
created 25 directories
created 0 symlinks
created 0 devices
created 0 fifos
root /mnt/sda5/1_nemesis/porteus/modules #

Once the upgrade is done as proposed by blaze, I get a changes file of 835 Mb.

Maybe we should strip nemesis before xorg command line and functional to have a minimun of packages.

I wonder if pman could be used on changes files?

I tried my way from this post Cinnamon and Porteus Nemesis

Once the upgrade is done as proposed by blaze, I get a changes file of 835 Mb.

I get 743 Mb.

I see in pacman you can upgrade a file or files but how would I be able from a command line? I don't want to do it one at a time but I want to do it like in Update Manager dose.

Code: Select all

guest ~ $ pacman -h
usage:  pacman <operation> [...]
operations:
    pacman {-h --help}
    pacman {-V --version}
    pacman {-D --database} <options> <package(s)>
    pacman {-Q --query}    [options] [package(s)]
    pacman {-R --remove}   [options] <package(s)>
    pacman {-S --sync}     [options] [package(s)]
    pacman {-T --deptest}  [options] [package(s)]
    pacman {-U --upgrade}  [options] <file(s)>

use 'pacman {-h --help}' with an operation for available options
guest ~ $ 

[Blaze]

Jack, I think like this

Code: Select all

pacman -S acl acpid acpid-openrc archlinux-keyring attr bash bzip2

and etc from your packages list. Note. Do not specify a packages version.

[Jack]

Jack, I think like this

It would take for ever with 391 files to upgrade.

I would like to do it this way and I try with Update Manager to do the upgrade of Nemesis version 3.5 and receive this ERROR.

This is the easy way, but don't know how to fixed this ERROR. What should I be looking for? Anyone have any idea that could help me?
