Hi gobo-devel, I just installed GoboRootless in a new account, and I have the following questions/comments.
1) Atool is no longer required? I seem to remember that CreateRootlessEnvironment used to tell me to "Compile Atool". This time it did not. If Atool is no longer required, the following page could be updated: http://gobo.kundor.org/wiki/Rootless#Installation 2) I also upgraded an old Rootless installation in old account, and InstallPackage refused to install new versions of packages as the signatures failed to verify. I got the following message: InstallPackage: Installing Compile, version 1.11.0. InstallPackage: Uncompressing to /home/gobo/Programs... InstallPackage: Invalid signature. FileHash could not be verified. InstallPackage: Suspect package in /home/gobo/Programs/Compile/1.11.0 InstallPackage: Removing downloaded package /tmp/Compile--1.11.0--i686.tar.bz2. It would be nice if InstallPackage would suggest that I consider upgrading Compile (via InstallPackage -S Compile) to get a fresh Programs/Compile/1.11.0/Shared/mime-info/Compile.keys file. (I am assuming that is the correct file - I had to hunt and guess to get things working again.) Additionally, the current (or old?) error message ("Suspect package in...") seems to be incorrect as the suspect package is not actually installed (unless you specify -S). Additionally, from a *user* point of view, I think it makes more sense for the package signing public keys to be distributed as a part of Scripts instead of as a part of Compile, but this is not a big deal. 3) Whenever I upgrade Compile (via InstallPackage Compile) I am told that there is a new Compile.conf file, and asked which version I want to use. This is always a hassle, as I am never sure whether to use the new one (which will forget my compileRecipeAuthor setting), or to auto-merge (I don't trust automerges - perhaps I should) or to manually edit the files (which is work). Perhaps Compile.conf could, as a final action, source a CompileLocal.conf file? I could then put my settings in CompileLocal.conf, and then I could always use the new Compile.conf file. 4) I am using Rootless on x86_64. When I CreateRootlessEnvironment, it asks me if I want to recompile the C programs that are part of Scripts. However, when I upgrade (via InstallPackage Scripts), it does not ask me if I wish to recompile. Perhaps it should? Thanks! -mpb _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
