Hi all,
We are pleased to announce the release of Scripts 2.9.11 and Compile 1.12.4.
These releases do not contain many major functional changes, with the focus
mostly on bug fixes and similar improvements leading up to 015 (of which more
below).
In Scripts, several programs will now offer suggested corrections to program
names and versions that aren't found, using the new Corrections script. The
tools will now interact better with Manager when interactivity is required, so
trunk Manager should now be usable.
xz-format archives are now supported, and there is better output from archive
extraction when the required extraction program is not found. Package
blacklisting now works more reliably and safe linking should now be slightly
faster.
Compile has minor bugfixes and improvements but no major changes. It will also
offer the corrections for mistyped recipe names, and suggest the correct action
when `Compile Scripts` is called. Noticeable bugfixes are that it will obey --
no-web for SCM recipes and check for existing recipes when running NewVersion.
There are two changes affecting recipe API:
* $basedir is now available in hooks as well.
* There is a new python_major recipe variable which specifies the major (2.x,
3.x) version of Python to be used in recipe_type=python. It should be left
unset for Python 2 recipes and set to 3 for Python 3.x recipes. This affects
which executable setup.py is run with.
There are also many assorted changes to help support the /System/Index layout
in 015, but most work on that is taking place in the 015 branch in SVN.
As the master mirror appears to have gone down for the count, the packages are
available from gobolinux.org:
http://gobolinux.org/packages/official/Scripts--2.9.11--i686.tar.bz2
http://gobolinux.org/packages/official/Compile--1.12.4--i686.tar.bz2
These can be installed using `InstallPackage
http://gobolinux.org/packages/official/Scripts--2.9.11--i686.tar.bz2`. They
likely will not be picked up with only `InstallPackage Scripts` because of the
missing master mirror.
As the mirror has gone, you should remove gobo.calica.com from your
GetAvailable.conf and Compile.conf to avoid errors fetching the package and
recipe lists. When/if the mirror comes back up it can be replaced there.
kundor.org is working, and there is a copy on gobolinux.org as well if needed.
As always, please report any bugs you encounter in these new releases, either
on bugs.gobolinux.org or here if you're unsure or need help. Thanks to all the
contributors of code, bug reports, and feedback over this release cycle.
Now, on the subject of 015: it has been decided that it will use the
/System/Index layout as discussed previously. The widespread adoption of
broken-by-design CMake has forced our hand a little here, and delayed the
release longer than I would have preferred. It will also break up the
hodgepodge in /Files and /System/Variable in favour of /System/Variable and a
new /Data directory. Most of the work for these changes is complete, and you
can see the planned tools in the 015 branch in SVN. There's still some work to
go, and package selection and combining for the ISO is yet to come.
Outside commitments have stalled the process at the moment. We hope to get it
back on track later this year. Proposed packages for the release are at
<http://karlsson.sytes.net/gobo/015/packages/>, but no progress is being made
on that end at the moment. A new pretaste ISO will wait until after those
real-world commitments wind down a bit as well, although somebody else is
welcome to have a crack at putting one together - the packages and tools are
there.
Since there is an enforced delay in the process, I intend to take advantage of
it to get /System/Aliens into shape for the 015 release. It isn't guaranteed
to make it in - the release will not delay on it if it isn't ready - but given
the form it has now it shouldn't have too many difficulties. Once the
infrastructure is in place I encourage interested people to get in touch with
me about building the interfaces for third-party systems they want to have.
Full changelogs follow below.

Scripts ChangeLog:
2009-10-25 00:28 mwh
* Makefile: Bare `read` is a bashism; use `read _` instead.
2009-10-25 00:25 mwh
* bin/CreateRootlessEnvironment: Update version for
CreateRootlessEnvironment.
2009-10-24 21:11 mohjive
* Functions/GoboLinux, bin/ListProgramFiles: * Add option to not
list resources with ListProgramFiles.
* Do not include Resources when doing safe linking or restore,
using new option with ListProgramFiles.
* Just check if listed file is a symlink or continue in safe link
and restore; do not try to go up the tree as 'find' will list
containing directories as well.
2009-10-24 20:47 mohjive
* Functions/GoboLinux, bin/GoboPath: Fixes from 015 branch.
* Manuals go into share/man for $goboIndex as well.
* Failed installations are moved to *-failed everytime they are
not current.
* Also, when copying, we don't copy to an eventually existing
directory, instead we create the target and copy all
subdirectories and files there.
* Added 'ldconfig' call for Pre_Installation_Preparation and
Post_Installation_Clean_Up for cases when needed.
* Use $goboExecutables, etc instead of to support /System/Index
as well.
* In Programs_To_System_Path() matching regex includes slash, so
it must be added in the result.
2009-09-02 04:50 mohjive
* Functions/Log: Make echoflags local so state isn't kept between
calls
2009-08-21 09:22 mwh

case-folded, but comparison was case-sensitive. Reported by
lempour on #gobolinux.
2009-07-18 19:42 mohjive
* Functions/MetadataInstallation: Use var/lib for mime state
information and fix a redirection typo
2009-07-15 20:30 detsch

BaseException.message attribute in CheckDependencies

* bin/CheckDependencies: Respect Dependencies.blacklist and add a
new option, --blacklist, to define own blacklist
2009-07-07 08:07 mohjive
* bin/GetAvailable: Do not require "Current" symlink for

inside an unpacked package/recipe unless spefically asked for
2009-07-07 08:03 mohjive
* bin/CheckDependencies: Pass on goboPrograms if set and also
accept option to --gobo-programs, as specified
2009-07-03 17:48 detsch
* Functions/Log: Keep colorNormal escape code in the same line as
the message itself,
by explicitly telling Log_Function when we don't want a line
break
(instead of passing a \n with the message when we want one).
Re-add $colorNormal$colorNormal sequence, as expected by Manager
to
process a line as a question.
2009-07-03 17:43 detsch

myself to care about

* Functions/Archive: make CommandNotFound output default and not
verbose
2009-05-18 08:21 mohjive
