Hi all, especially advanced users, who have some free time and wants to help.
New "tazpkg" is in beta-stage development, any feedback is welcome.

Cook with $VERSION of last hg rev or just get it here:

http://people.slitaz.org/~az_ua/tazpanel-414.tazpkg
http://people.slitaz.org/~az_ua/tazpkg-750.tazpkg
...and install.

(tazpanel-414 is the same as tazpanel-1.8.3, currently updated with broken css)

Prepare to use:
(to have installed.info)
root@slitaz:/# tazpkg -l
(to have packages.info)
root@slitaz:/# rm -f /var/lib/tazpkg/ID && tazpkg recharge

Known bugs:
- Updates from tazpanel may not work, use # tazpkg up
- search-pkgname fails with / char in search-string
- Ignoring and rewriting *.tazpkg in cache
- Same icon for installed and not-installed

Hi!

It so happens that I'm working on TazPanel changes alone. Within about 3 months.

I already have a bunch of changes in TazPanel. But I do not push them because it not yet all works fine. And I want to push when everything to work. I not provided new version number, I know that development is lasts. And not finished yet.

It seems like I forced to push right now what I was developed. But note please, that I have currently broken TazPanel menu, and Wi-Fi connection not completed yet.

Ok, I'll push all my prolonged developments right now, and then will push my works on few-days basis.

az_ua, can you help me to find more bugs that I have not seen?

Please, stay tuned :)

PS. Menu is fixed. All other bugs are waits their time to be fixed.
Please, see revision #419 of TazPanel. And revision #755 of TazPkg. (No links here because changes are huge).

Hi,

Installed tazpkg-750.tazpkg and doing some tests

# tazpkg -l cat lists 52 categories; TazPanel only 20.

Known bugs:
...
- Same icon for installed and not-installed

After having closed/open my session:
- green squares for installed packages
- green squares with a lock inside + red names for blocked
- white squares with orange star inside for not installed

Detail: in TazPanel, [Toogle all] button is smaller than others; btw, shouldn't it be "Toggle all"
Will continue to test this week end.

  Then tazpkg -r sed and it's OK
- tazpkg info <package> works but doesn't mention the sizes package/installed; OK in /var/lib/tazpkg/packages.info; OK in TazPanel.

Hi Ceel,
TazPanel 425

Fixed. Please, try latest 426: http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?pkg=tazpanel
Also, update your tazpkg and slitaz-boot-scripts. Here I fixed my bugs :)
TazPkg 757

if sed is installed:

# tazpkg up /var/lib/tazpkg/packages.list is older than one week... recharging . . .
OK, I'll see it precisely.
tazpkg info<package> works but doesn't mention the sizes package/installed; OK in /var/lib/tazpkg/packages.info; OK in TazPanel.
Well, I'll add it to tazpkg CLI.

Thanks for feedback! And have a nice day.

Please, try slitaz-base-files-265: http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?pkg=slitaz-base-files
It'll fix incompatibility between GNU sed and Busybox sed.

Hi Aleksej,

With the 4 new packages, all seems OK excepted the [Recharge list] button when viewing My packages list doesn't work; I have to do it through the menu bar (Packages then Recharge list).

Another thing, but it's not a bug, is you cannot remove packages that are on different pages in a single operation.
ie: I want to remove gnumeric and its dependencies libgsf, goffice, readline, libltdl, guile.
I select gnumeric, goffice, guile, libgsf and libltdl on the first page; if I go on the second page to select readline, all the selected packages of the first page will be unselected.
On a fresh installation, there only are 3 pages but there will be 7 or 8 or more...
My opinion: I don't like this new presentation, I prefered to have a list. But, I'll do with it ;-)

Question: How does the link otpion of tazpkg work? I didn't arrive to use it; bug or I don't use it correctly?

Have a nice sunday.

Thank you :)

My opinion: I don't like this new presentation, I prefered to have a list.

My apologies. You can't disable this pager. But you can set page size. By default there is 100 packages on the page, but you can set any number based on your preferences: 1,000 or 1,000,000 (but of course without commas) ;)

Maybe you have recent hardware. But it is pretty hard to display 1,000 or more packages list on my netbook.

Ah, forgot to say :) To set page size: click menu "Packages" → "Administration" → scroll to the bottom of page.

I want to say that your idea to keep selection is brilliant! I need a time to think how to make it better.

You know, our dependency tracking system far from ideal. It's just not handy. Say, why I installed single package, but when I want to remove it – I should remove ten? Which packages I installed myself, and which are auto-installed? Which of them I don't need anymore? What if I have limited traffic or limited HDD free size? I want to know. What if I want to completely remove application both with it caches and settings? And more questions...

---

How does the link works? I hope doc better explain it than me.
Let's say, you have /mnt/sda5 partition with full SliTaz installation. First, set link to /mnt/sda5 on the "Admin" page. Then you can see list of pages on that SliTaz installation and link those pages to your current installation. It worked for me about 1-2 months ago, sorry, can't check it today.

Hi Aleksej,

Still a question and I go to bed. In TazPanel menu when you choose Install, what's the difference between the 2 options Install and Install SliTaz? It seems both do the same job.

Bug in the installer: it doesn't install the kernel (http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/toolchain-updates/page/3#post-37161)

Don't know really. As you can see, I reworked menu. Now it like in other GTK applications, for example, in the Leafpad.

SliTaz installer has own three menu items, and now it still three.

Nowadays I see many SliTaz installer related bug reports here, on the forum. But, I'm not its author and IMHO better if I not touched it. Still too many work with TazPanel and TazPkg. But I can remove that menu item.

Hi Aleksej,

My apologies. You can't disable this pager. But you can set page size.

Hey, you don't have to apologize because you changed the habits of a grumpy old man ;-)
I didn't still have time to explore all the menus of TazPanel and I confess that I didn't visit the Administration option of the Packages menu.
Setting page size to 1000 is the solution for me. Don't change anything. And my most recent hadware is 12 years old... (excepted my pro computer)

I forgot to suggest you one thing. What about to have the possibility in TazPanel to select packages and block them with a button (yes, I'm a little lazy)?

Link: thanks. I tried this option in the command line and it didn't work but that's OK today (and with TazPanel too). Maybe I'd spent too much time on my computer yesterday (or I'd forgotten to mount the partition... : - / )

yep,

Bug in the installer: it doesn't install the kernel (http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/toolchain-updates/page/3#post-37161)

It is not related to tazpanel but to tazinst.
It is coming while dealing whith kernel 32 and 64.

The source of the problem
```
        for i in $SOURCE_ROOT/boot/bzImage* ; do
                cp $i $TARGET_ROOT/boot/$KERNEL${i#*bzImage[6][4]}
        done
```

install, install slitaz and Upgrade system return the same content.
I think it is not very useful.
