Easy Debian Diablo Beta Testing
I've been asked to start a new Easy Debian thread because the old one is getting too long and hairy. So OK, here it is.
Here is the old thread for reference. Here is info about my new versions, eventually going into the maemo.org extras free repository. (original post) I have uploaded new versions of easy-chroot and easy-deb-chroot to to the Diablo Extras-devel repository. Could I get a few beta-testers to try updating and report back here? If I get no responses by the weekend, I will promote the packages to Extras and then I'll hear about the problems ;) Changes:
All of those changes are very geeky things to be excited about, I know. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2494/...5984d011_o.png Look at those beautiful, wonderful dependencies. Sweet. |
Re: Easy Debian Diablo Beta Testing
Qole,
Just did the install. It initially balked at the easy-chroot, but said it installed... I turned off my Extras-devel repository, reinstalled (as now it showed up as an upgradeable package) the install then completed (seemed like a repair, really). Then I turned the repository back on, installed the easy-deb-chroot with no issue. I erased my old image, and downloaded a new one... everything seems to be going swimmingly. I am not a power user, but I do "play" with this from time to time. No negative repercussions so far. Should I stumble across something I will let you know. I mean, even a blind squirrel gets a nut once in a while. Thor |
Re: Easy Debian Diablo Beta Testing
thorbo, thanks, I bet your double-install was required because my package went from having the dm-loop stuff embedded inside it to depending on external dm-loop packages. But if it works, that's great. I'll just warn people that it will take two runs at it to get it working.

Re: Easy Debian Diablo Beta Testing
Maybe some preinst magic in the dm-loop package can help ?

Re: Easy Debian Diablo Beta Testing
attila77: any magical ideas?
I think what's happening is that the dmsetup stuff is conflicting with my package because the same files are in both packages. One ugly hack would be to have fake names for the binaries in the package, which you then move to the correct name in the postinst...? I don't know... |
Re: Easy Debian Diablo Beta Testing
I had the same issue, so thanks for the post Thor. apart from that, it's looking fine so far. Thanks again for this qole, it really does make my molbile life workable.
I'll be playing more with it tomolrrow and will get back with anything I find. |

Re: Easy Debian Diablo Beta Testing
I see. From my Debian packaging experience this suggests libdevmapper/dmsetup would have to have a "Replaces:" and/or "Conflicts:" in it's control file for the OLD easy-chroot package. Without it, the order of installs influences the outcome (if easy-chroot gets upgraded first, libdevmapper is OK, if libdevmapper comes first, it errors -> that's why it works out on the second try). Can you tell me the versions you used in easy-chroot (i.e. which is the last old-style package ver) ?
