BTW, I'm a bit busy at the moment, so I can't (comfortably) access iBiblio via ssh, but now that FDNPKG replaces FDPKG in "UTIL", it should probably be mirrored. http://www.freedos.org/software/?prog=fdnpkg However, I don't see any obvious place for it. Or at least, the only copy on iBiblio is apparently an older one. So feel free to update it manually (or I'll try to do it myself one of these days, probably): http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repos/net/fdnpkg.zip fdnpkg.zip 2012-Sep-24 12:16:30558.3K application/zip -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
Re: [Freedos-user] FDNPKG - New version, new features
Hi, Yes, this is a feature that i was thinking for a long time now. However it doesn't replace the tool that Matej did, since the latter have a very specialized purpose of getting only packages that you miss. The offline repo of Fdnpkg is a more generic approach. Choice is always good :) escape wrote: >On 19.06.13 23:07, Mateusz Viste wrote: >> I'm happy to announce the release of a new version of my FreeDOS >package >> manager - FDNPKG v0.94. >> >> Big changes: this new version brings support for offline (on disk) >> repositories, and update features (FDNPKG is able to update itself >now). > >Great!

Great! This is really welcome feature addition. As you as you could see, earlier in the list, people start writing their own tools for this purpose.

Re: [Freedos-user] FDNPKG - New version, new features
Hi, Since now, I will also periodically compute an ISO with all FDNPKG repositories. This makes it easy to download all the up to date packages in one file, burn it on a CD, and feed FDNPKG with on offline FreeDOS systems. The ISO is here: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.1/repos Mateusz On 06/19/2013 10:07 PM, Mateusz Viste wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm happy to announce the release of a new version of my FreeDOS package > manager - FDNPKG v0.94. > > Big changes: this new version brings support for offline (on disk) > repositories, and update features (FDNPKG is able to update itself now). > > Exact changelog below: > > FDNPKG v0.94 [19 Jun 2013] >- [fix] FDNPKG is quitting if networking (Watt32) fails to initialize > (was trying to continue anyway, possibly leading to crashes), >- [new] added support for on-disk package repositories, >- [new] added the 'showinstalled' action (display the list of > installed packages), >- [new] added the 'checkupdates' action (checks for availability of > updates for installed packages), >- [new] added the 'update' action (updates given package to newer > version from repositories), >- [new] added support for custom configuration file location via the > FDNPKG.CFG environment variable. > > Since now, FDNPKG is not requiring networking anymore to be useful - one > could imagine burn a CD with latest packages, and use it to update any > offline FreeDOS system.
