LXDE 64-bit

[Neal ManBear]

As any of you who follow me on twitter will already know, I've started work on the 64-bit version of PCLinuxOS-LXDE-2011. The work is ongoing and progressing well. Some more packages need to be built and installed, but a test ISO should be available soon. I'll announce it on the testers mailing list, when it is ready.

Wow, if it goes any faster than 32-bit LXDE, I might have to chain my computer down in case it takes off!

I've bolted mine to the floor.

My time has ended   , I need to learn how to sync repos to have one at home with the latest 32 bit that is packaged and freeze it for my own and friends consumption (and maybe send it in DVD's to those that needs it)

I won't cry, I promise  

Keep the good work Neal

   echo -n "Type path for local repo (/home/kori/Downloads/repobackup/)" #path to repo
   read -e localrepo
done

for srpms in SRPMS.main SRPMS.nonfree SRPMS.games SRPMS.kde4 SRPMS.special SRPMS.testing SRPMS.updates SRPMS.xfce4 #add sub folders to local repo add/remove as you like
   do
mkdir -p $localrepo$srpms #creates local repo plus SRPMS sub folders

#rsync -av --delete rsync://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/pclinuxos/apt/pclinuxos/2010/$srpms/ $localrepo$rpms  # add rpms to local repo

exit 0
then find the file and change it's properties to make it executable ...

then go to it's folder ... open terminal and type in ./repomaker or whatever you called it ... it will ask you for a location you want your repo ... put in what you want ... i have mine in /home/kori/Downloads/repobackup/pclinuxos/2011/ ... you can put it anywhere as long as the location is valid ... then hit enter ... it will go off and download the whole repo ...

i also have 1 for the megagames ... just follow the same instructions as above by name it megagamesrepo ...

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash

while [  "$localrepo" = "" ]; do
   echo -n "Type path for local repo (/home/kori/Downloads/repobackup/)" #path to repo
   read -e localrepo
done

# add megagames SRPMS repo's to your backup

#rsync -av --delete rsync://distro.ibiblio.org/pclinuxos/megagames/apt/pclinuxos/2010/$srpms/ $localrepo$srpms  # add rpms to local repo

Kori, you're an angel,


a Linux Angel.

Thank you, I will begin this night.

[ltelmo]

Thats cool Kori! I might have to try even!

I'd like to do testing but I won't register on Google.

Is there an alternative way for me to share my testing results?

just register with fake details ... i did ... everyone does ... you been hanging round the paranoid lot too much ...

[Vorteggs]

Well I'll do.

It's not about paranoia but it's somewhat unfair for me accusing them and at the same time using them.
But sometimes (rarely) I do unfair things if the other side is too big and strong.
There is a solution though - I'll stop accusing them if using them.

I'm holding out for the 68bit version
