relaytool dead?

Jan Niklas Hasse — 2009-10-18T16:38:14

I just looked into relaytool, never did before, and found out that
it's exactly what I need for one of my projects. After trying it out
on a 64 bit system I got a linker error. I started a 32 bit machine in
a virtual machine. This time it compiles but I got a segfault when
running my binary.

Well, I know I didn't posted an error message and I should tell you a
little bit more about what I did so that someone could actually help
me. But I wanted to ask first is there actually anyone who can help
me? I mean is there anyone who knows how relaytool works, still
reading the mailing list and who could patch relaytool?

Also has anyone ever successfully used relaytool recently?

I don't really know what's going on here, since I've only been wandering in
and out of this conversation, but I have a server (aedentide.ath.cx) and if
you need tempory hosting space I am more than willing to help out, so long
as the traffic isn't too heavy, it is a home server, might not be suited to
your needs, but I figure why not offer.
If however I have totally misunderstood the issue, my apologies, I was
drifting in and out of this thread.

But unfortunately we don't have swap.

Btw: What about plan99.net? Could it be used to host the website?


Can you activate bug tracking via launchpad?

128mb should be enough. The problem is more with reliability - ie if
the machine goes offline for whatever reason. Although granted,
sunsite hasn't been the most reliable host either :)


No opinion.. might be good. The downside is we loose the current
history of bugs<->code checking integration. But maybe that's not that
important anyway.


Done.. I added you as "driver" so I'm not sure what permission you
have. I didn't dare changing maintainer (I can't have more than one it
seems) in case the something went wrong and then there'd be no one to
fix it.

Great, I'll let you now when I set everything up. I'm not sure though
if my server can handle the site. The problem is, that it only has 128
mb RAM.

Btw: What do you guys think about moving to launchpad.net for bug
tracking and translation? Version 3.0 was released some days ago.

Isak, can you add me as a mantainer to the autopackage project on
launchpad? My user name is jhasse.

This might be a good time to set up the new homepage. Has anyone any
objections if I put it up on watteimdocht.de/autopackage? Who owns the
autopackage.org domain btw?

Hi

I would like to inform you that we (dotSrc.org) are shutting down the
hosting part of our services. Please contact us if you want a copy of
your data. To make sure users will still be able to find your project in
the future we will be happy to setup a redirection to the projects new home.

We expect to shut down the hosting (CVS, HTTP, FTP.. everything) after
2009-10-15 (previously announced to be 2009-10-01 but we saw some
activity at a few more projects.).

If you have any questions please reply to this e-mail (staff-cK0RQNbCbm0dnm+yROfE0A< at >public.gmane.org).

Re: Problems with using autopackage from python

Eugene Zolenko — 2009-09-07T20:28:53

I don't know python, but I don't think it will perform searching through 
the PATH. Try giving it full path to "package", searching through PATH 
yourself, or coding an equivalent of this:

"$(/bin/which package)" list

Problems with using autopackage from python

Neil Munro — 2009-09-07T17:46:26

Hello        I am writing a software update utility in python and I am
having trouble accessing aspects of autopackage in python. For instance
'package list' returns no output when using functions inside python to get
the output of the program.

Can anyone help me figure out why this is?

The code snippet is as follows:

PROCESS = subprocess.Popen( [ 'package', 'list' ], stdout=subprocess.PIPE
).communicate( )
print PROCESS


Many Thanks
Neil Munro

Re: Getting short name before autopackage is installed.

Ah that worked great, thanks, took a little while to work out how to extract
it using python but I've done it now. :D

RE: Getting short name before autopackage is installed.

Eugene Zolenko — 2009-09-04T00:36:42

ShortName will be one field between start of the .package file and this line:
## END OF HEADER

# ShortName <someshortname>

Just open .package in text editor and you'll see.

Hey
      I am working on an application that pulls various packages from the internet and installs them under Linux, since autopackage is dead easy to get applications installed with it was the first package format to be supported, now however I am looking into how to uninstall packages and autopackage is still rather simple, if your an intelligent human being. My program kinda sucks that way since it's neither ;).

I have a package file, I save the name of this package file to a text file, however I wish to extract the short name from the autopackage archive prior to install

Re: making update packages.

Isak Savo — 2009-08-25T13:36:58

Upgrading a library works the same as upgrading a package. Autopackage
will complain if the library you are trying to upgrade breaks some
other installed package (but only for other autopackages). Autopackage
will assume backward compatibility for minor versions, so upgrading
1.2 library to 1.4 will not break packages that require 1.2 (there are
exceptions to this -- a package can specify that it requires 1.2 and
nothing newer IIRC)

If your library should be parallell installable, you have to give it
another shortname, for example libfoo2 which is different
(incompatible) from libfoo. This obviously requires some work on the
libfoo packager side to make sure files don't collide.

Re: making update packages.

Use the removeOwningPackage (or named something similar, i can't reach
the autopackage website atm) command. See
http://www.autopackage.org/docs/migrating-to-1.2.html

If the old version of your app must be installed, use the UpdateFor
key. See http://www.autopackage.org/docs/migrating-to-1.4.html

I'm not sure about updating a library though.

Pablo Garralda — 2009-08-25T13:07:49

Hi there!
      I know that AP does not support upgrades per se (i.e. automatic
updates), however I have a question about installing packages the update the
system:
- How do I package a new version of my app, if I want the old, installed
version is already installed in the system with AP? Should I care?
- What if the package I'm updating is a library? Will it break dependencies
within AP?


Cheers,
Pablo.


BTW, Thanks to the list for answering my (apparently random) autopackage
questions. :)

Re: Trac spam etc.

Isak Savo — 2009-08-23T11:29:37

*sigh* .. the debian package of tracspamfilter did not work *at all*..
I don't think it even did anything - nothing in the logs, etc.

I've now installed another version outside of the debian repositories
(using easy_install) and it does in fact seem to work (at least it
does *something* with submissions). Let's see if the situation
improves...

Trac still sucks in that it doesn't allow removing comments. I can't
even begin to understand the reasoning behind that. What I do now is
remove everything manually in the db:

delete from ticket_change where author = 'whoeverpostedthespam';

this works quite ok, given that the spam pattern seem to be single
user posting 10-20 spam posts using the same account.

The funny thing is that it seems that this is NOT robot spam - the
posts look extremely genuine except that they contain one or more link
to some commercial site (usually Nike shoes for some reason...) so
let's see how the bayesan filter handles that :)
