tazpkg info <package> --root=/<path> does'nt indicate that a package is installed:

root@slitaz:/home/ceel# tazpkg info samba --root=/mnt

TazPkg information
================================================================================
Package    : samba
State      : mirrored package
Version    : 3.6.7
Category   : system-tools
Short desc : File and print services with SMB/CIFS.
Depends    : libldap samba-common glibc-extra-samba ncursesw popt zlib
             cifs-utils acl krb5 cups
Web site   : http://samba.org/

"samba-3.6.7" package is already installed.
You can use the --forced option to force installation.

EDIT at my post http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/new-version-of-packages-manager-tazpkg-testing-needed/page/8#post-39011

If I update first the main install when I run tazpkg up --root=/mnt then tazpkg finds tazpanel-529 in the cache and installs it.
When using --root option, tazpkg searchs in the cache of the current install and not in the one on /mnt

Is this normal (TazPkg 839)?

Hi Ceel,

Thank you for all your reports!

Yes, I know I fix bugs very slow. Actually, I rewrite and adopt parts of TazPkg. So, real debugging is soon. I think, I'll show beta version of the new TazPkg on the next week.

Why I started to rewrite the code? Because it very large and hard to understand — as well as to implementing new features and debug. So, I broke single tazpkg script into number of independent modules — it is often one module per tazpkg command. So, if command that shows package info (for example) not works — then we should find bugs only in the module 'info'. Next, if I want to make new feature for working with cache — not only to remove all packages but, say, remove only installed and leave not-installed — then I'll touch only 'cache' module and will not to add new bugs to other modules and commands.

Now I working with the heart of TazPkg :) It is module 'get-install' to get and/or install packages. This module is significantly bigger than others — about thousand lines of code (both with depending functions). Work in progress, and I planning to finish this part on the next week.

I can't push current code into SliTaz Hg because currently this code broken and it will not work.

It is question still stay opened — what about other SliTaz tools/services? Can 'root' support, for example, to break SliTaz service that make weekly ISOs?

I know, changes are huge. But, frankly, TazPkg was very hard to maintaining. And here no way back, only forth! :)

And finally, touching your last question. No, it is not normal. Please, see tazpkg script — here for reference
http://hg.slitaz.org/tazpkg/file/a02e36d44d06/tazpkg#l1459
In the line 1459 please quote with single quotes part of the line:
'*.tazpkg'
This should help.
And now I have this code in the 'cache' module, and this code is slightly different.

That's all for the moment :)
Have a good day!

Hi Aleksej,

Well, as you are working on the get-install module, I noticed the 'get' option dowloads packages in 2 directories; the current one and /var/cache/tazpkg/5.0/packages. Not really a problem but is there a reason?

A personal request: would it be possible to have an option in tazpkg to install a package without its dependences? Something like tazpkg -gi <package> --nodep.

Thank you for your great work with tazpkg (and other packages)! Eager to test this new version of tazpkg.

@Ceel

--nodeps option for tazpkg (-i or -gi) was already made by me, just not yet documented.

Hi there,

I already updated the docs. New version of TazPkg will be released with the renewed docs.
If you want to read it right now — I uploaded it here: http://people.slitaz.org/~lexeii/doc/tazpkg/
Here you'll find new English and Russian TazPkg help; Spanish, French and Portuguese pages strongly needs their translators to upgrade local help to the information provided in the English (base) help page. I can (later) copy new English parts into local help pages...

Option --nodeps described for install and get-install commands:

@ az_ua and Aleksej,

I knew it for a long time but this should be written: dev@SliTaz are the best!
You even find solutions before knowing our needs ;-)
