ok, that's my contrib package you're trying to build, it looks like that
jmlrecfg.h file changed its location in the distribution, I'll fix the
contrib package

Re: [9fans] after a recent pull ...

[ron minnich]

stupid question, I bet:

how do I list all the contrib packages I've pulled down. I'm wondering
how to know which ones to pull.

Re: [9fans] after a recent pull ...

[Federico G. Benavento]

adrian mailed me this script some months ago
I think it might help

#!/bin/rc
replicas=/dist/replica
for (i in `{grep '^s=/n/sources/contrib' $replicas/* | sed
's@.*/(.*):.*/(.*)/replica@\2/\1@'}) {
       echo contrib/pull $i
}

Re: [9fans] after a recent pull ...

[ron minnich]

Maybe this could be added to the contrib system.

contrib/pull with no args pulls all contribs that I already pulled
contrib/listlocal would list local contribs

[Francisco J Ballesteros]

That would be great.
I'm just using two clumsy ad-hoc scripts, but I think everyone using
contrib needs these two things.

contrib/installed should list the installed packages.
contrib/pull `{contrib/installed} should pull all
installed packages.

Re: [9fans] after a recent pull ...

[Federico G. Benavento]

I added:

          contrib/local [ -m ] [ -p ]

          Contrib/local
               Lists local contrib installed packages (default).  The
               -m option changes the default behavior and local prints
               the maintained packages instead of the installed ones.
               The -p option can be used to print the necessary com-
               mands to pull or push all the packages.


so to pull all the installed packages

% contrib/local -p | rc

comments are welcome

thanks

Great. We're getting there. I do think in the long term the contrib
packages should be tar files. That would get our performance back.

I added this to my $home/bin/rc/pull script, it doesn't pull the
contrib packages, but prints the commands to do so in case I want to do so.

for(rep in `{ls /dist/replica | grep -v 'network|kfs|sourcesmirror|sources|plan9.proto|cd|client'} )
	echo contrib/pull `{basename $rep}

I can't argue with that. But I still believe that replica is not an
effective tool for package management.

The slowness of loading openssl probably has something to do
with it being bloatware on a par with ghostscript.

replica still makes a lot of sense to me.  if i just splat
a tar file on top of my source, i have no idea what changed
and when; history is useless.  replica to and from sources
takes just a few seconds  for the packages i'm using.

then again, i don't packages i'm not willing to debug, like
openssl, on plan 9.

Then use replica for that. But replica is just too slow to be a useful
for package management. It's not great that it takes longer to get the
openssl package than it takes to do a full ubuntu install.

I don't see that. I would be willing to bet (I'll try it at some
point) that it is far faster to pull a tar down, mount it via tarfs,
and run replica/pull agains that than what we do now. Were we to do
this we'd have two ways to use replica.

That said, I'm sufficiently impressed with the tinycore tar-based
package management that I don't see the need for replica any more.

As always, there's no reason lots of things can't be done. They just aren't :-)

that performance is only for one case.  what about the
case where i'd like to know if a local file differs from sources?
(i suggest contrib/diff as an addition to contrib.)  that's
really slow and annoying with a tar file.

also, there's no reason replica can't work in parallel.
