The Testing Area :: December Extensions

Ping Juanito. The thread for March is closed, but I have a question about one of your submissions.

Does your ntfsprogs extension use XFS? I loaded ntfsprogs.dsl to my hard drive install of DSL 4.0 release. I didn't know DSL had XFS, but now I have it and have XFS daemons running.

When booting DSL (4.0, 4.1) on CD or frugal, I don't have XFS in /proc/filesystems. The only other filesystem progs extension I've added is sshfs/fuse, and that doesn't give me XFS or start any daemons. I haven't had a chance to use ntfsprogs yet so I'm kind of befuddled where the XFS daemons came from. Is it resulting from the ntfsprogs.dsl extension?

Thanks.

If XFS is included it wasn't intentional...

Seriously, as far as I remember, the extension contains various ntfs utilities and the library - all of which could probably use some stripping since this was made before I knew about that.

Maybe one of these days, I'll update to the latest version and repackage as a uci

Note that hplip.uci supercedes hplip.tar.gz so hplip.tar.gz can be deleted.

After testing, it looks like bluez-utils.uci does everything that bluez-utils.dsl does, so bluez-utils.dsl can be deleted.

I managed to get alsa_bluezsco.dsl to work with bluez-utils.uci but am still struggling to incorporate this into bluez-utils.uci so alsa_bluezsco.dsl should stay for a while yet.

Now posted cvs.uci

Thanks to Juanito we have a cvs client.

Also deleted hplip.tar.gz and bluez-utils.dsl per request.

For tomorrow (hopefully):
(1) multimedia
ffmpeg.tar.gz [~30K]
ffmpeg2theora.tar.gz [~20K]
mencoder.tar.gz [~140K]
mplayer.tar.gz [~160K] (replaces 'mplayer-nogui.dsl')
vlc.uci [~730K]
mm-base.uci [~3.4M] (base libraries and files)
-- BTW: Bitstream Vera [72K] makes a great-looking subtitle font.

(2) GTK2
gtk2-core.unc [~1.7M] (required by VLC)
gtk2-core-dev.unc [~400K]

(3) wxWidgets, and related
i.
libwxgtk1.uci [~1.6M] (replaces current version; configuration changed)
libwxgtk1-dev.uci [~800K]
libwxgtk2.uci [~1.7M] (aside from toolkit difference, configuration is identical to 'libwxgtk1.uci')
libwxgtk2-dev.uci [~800K]
-- Note: The decrease in size from the current 'libwxgtk1.uci' [1.8M] is due to compiling with '-fno-exceptions' (by passing '--enable-no_exceptions' and '--disable-exceptions' to 'configure'). '-fno-rtti' can reduce size further, but some apps (e.g. amule) need RTTI to be enabled in the library in order to compile.
ii.
amule-gtk1.uci [~1.2M] (replaces 'amule.dsl')
xchm.tar.gz [~100K] (replaces 'xchm.dsl')

(4) codecs
codecs-misc.uci [4.3M] (replaces 'codecs-win32.uci')
codecs-QT.uci [2.1M] (replaces 'codecs-qtx.uci')
codecs-RM.tar.gz [160K] (replaces 'codecs-real.uci')
codecs-WM.uci [1.8M] (replaces 'codecs-wmp.uci')

Robert:
Very sorry for so many sudden changes.
Many apologies.
