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
[c]# tazpkg -l cat[/c] 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.

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.
Offline
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)
Offline
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

Oops... This one should be less stupid.

install, install slitaz and Upgrade system return the same content.

@Aleksej,
Last week end I installed tazpkg-759 and tazpanel-426 for tests
This evening, I recharged with TazPanel the packages list and I see 11 new packages on mirror (tazpanel426_1.png).
1. Is it normal there are 2 tazpanel (426 and 427) and 2 tazpkg (759 and 761) packages?
Then I've checked for upgrades; tazpanel and tazpkg don't appear in the list.
2. ???
Then I've done a search packages for [c]tazp[/c]. I can see tazpanel-427 and tazpkg-761 (and no tazpanel-426 and tazpkg-759 anymore) and see that these packages are not installed of course on my system (tazpanel426_3.png).
3. Why TazPanel didn't propose to me to install them after checking for upgrades?

Hi Ceel,
Thank you for your reports!
1. Confirmed.
Really, [c]/var/lib/tazpkg/packages.list[/c] containes doubled lines for [c]tazpkg[/c] and [c]tazpanel[/c]:
[c]grep 'tazpkg\|tazpanel' /var/lib/packages.list
tazpanel-426
tazpanel-427
tazpanel-theme-sandfive-1.0
tazpkg-759
tazpkg-761
tazpkg-desc-ru-150109[/c]
I say more: not only these two packages, but some packages also. Here the full list:
[c]cairo-1.14.0
cairo-1.14.2
slitaz-base-files-265
slitaz-base-files-5.6.5
slitaz-boot-scripts-398
slitaz-boot-scripts-5.7.1
tazpanel-426
tazpanel-427
tazpkg-759
tazpkg-761[/c]
And it is a bug. Not in the TazPanel or TazPkg, but somewhere in the Cooker site. I'll try to recharge lists on the Cooker site, let's see if it helps.
2. Maybe it not listed because of non-standard sitiation with previous bug.
3. I know it, sorry.
When I optimized search for speed it was difficult to show all sort of packages (not installed, installed, installed and blocked). So, really it shows generic package icon for all packages regardless of whether package is installed or not. I plan to fix this bug ASAP.
___
PS. Seems, Recharge page (on the first picture) kinda ugly. I'll fix it next to search packages bug.
___
PPS. Lists fixed (I re-maked lists, it not helps; then removed redundant packages by hands and re-maked lists). Let's wait when these lists appeared on the SliTaz mirrors.

Hi Ceel,
Search fixed in the TazPkg-763. Download and install it right now from http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?pkg=tazpkg

Waiting for a new reports from you, and
Have a nice day!

Hello Aleksej,
This is what I saw in TazPanel-428... and some questions.
After checking for updates, the [Toggle all] button has no effect (thanks for [(Un)block] button!); well, need to select packages one by one...
Setting > Summary: in the System time window > Set date field, TazPanel doesn't display the current month but January; don't forget to change it when you want to adjust the clock!
Why TazPanel asks for a username? Does it mean that I could give rights to users to access to TazPanel?
I remember I can change the password in TazPanel:[c]
root@slitaz:/home/sda7# tazpanel passwd
Changing password for TazPanel
New password: cool [/c](not cool to display it ;-)[c]
Password changed successfully[/c]
But the password of... who?
TazPanel doesn't let me specify a user:
[c]sda7@slitaz:~$ tazpanel --help
Usage: tazpanel [start|stop|passwd|app][/c]
And after I changed successfully the password, I cannot open TazPanel otherwise than with [c]root/root password[/c]
Did I miss something?
What I would like to do (think to this for SliTaz 6.0 ;-) is to allow some users to use TazPanel or better, only a part of TazPanel: network configuration or/and setting-summary or/and packages manager or/and...
Okay, I stop smoking.

@Ceel
Tazpanel uses browser's password prompt.
You can launch it without password by terminal command as regular user:
$ tazweb root:root@tazpanel:82
where second bold "root" is default root password.
Or by Applications -> SystemTools -> Package Manager (if root pass exists in file). If password not found in ~/.config/slitaz/subox.conf file this menuitem launches nothing to save root password.

Hi Ceel,
Button [Toggle] works in the packages upgrade page. I've checked it just now.
Only thing, you need to wait for page is completely loaded to use [Toggle] button.
I changed a bit tazpanel.js (from tazpanel package) and it works without waiting. But it is useless until packages list is not completed — now, my upgrade list contains 561 packages %) — when I click repeatedly [Toggle] button while page generated, it causes to completely mess 
Why TazPanel asks for user name and password.
TazPanel is a web application. Web browser shows it. And here used Basic access authentication, so it always asks both for user name and password.
But you can open TazPanel as user (not root). I tried right now with my tux user, and I enter TazPanel successfully. Then I opened TazPanel Terminal and enter command [c]whoami[/c], and it shows that I'm [c]tux[/c]. At first sight — only difference is TazPanel not shows "Install" in the TazPanel's menu. TazPkg Recharge tells me that I need to be root, etc. etc...
But the password of... who?
From beginning, TazPanel allow to enter only root. So, after changing password you can enter TazPanel with user "root" and that password (seems you should restart tazpanel service manually! (or just reboot system)). I can't say more, I not investigated TazPanel working under user rights.

Hi Aleksej,
Button [Toggle] works in the packages upgrade page.
I recharged an old package, check for upgrade, click on [Toggle] and... yes it works... ??
But you can open TazPanel as user (not root). I tried right now
I can't believe it! It works too! And yesterday it didn't.
Sure, it's better I stop smoking.

I suppose the command should display something similar than TazPanel does when clicking on All categories in the right pane.
By the way, 6 Categories (database, editors, gnome, libdevel, libs, localization) are missing in the right pane and categories are in a strange order.

Something I don't understand with TazPkg / TazPanel:
I test rolling on 2 different partitions: sda3 and sda7 (full install).
I'm quite sure yesterday I've recharge the packages list on 2.

Well, the 2 pakages list are now the same; tazpkg is unblocked on sda7; same conditions for the 2 installations. I'll test it again in the next days and let you know.
Proposal for tazpkg and tazpanel in the future: have an option to display the date of the package list.

Problems with 2 versions of same package again?
Something is wrong with cookiso at build server:
http://cook.slitaz.org/cookiso.cgi?distro=rolling-core-4in1
Unable to find tazlito-5.2.7 in the repository.
Path : /home/slitaz/packages
Download packages from mirror (Y
After this we can see 2versions at the bottom of http://cook.slitaz.org/ page
And what is here:
mirror1.slitaz.org/iso/rolling/
.slitaz-rolling.iso.6IT4wu 2015-Apr-05 02:00:30 17.2M
slitaz-rolling.iso 2015-Mar-31 10:52:16 42.0M
So, this happens only with packages from ISO
and only if this packages updated a day before cookiso.
