 |
|
I have set up a new repository called BLAGHEAD.
It tracks fedora rawhide/development and a few other repos which are building for this (e.g. atrpms f9 packages).
| Code: | $ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/blaghead.repo
[blaghead]
name=BLAGHEAD
baseurl=http://www.blagblagblag.org/blaghead/i386/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0 |
I am doing x86_64 as well, and everything should be apt-get'able as well but with directory name changes. Whereas before it was like RPMS.extras and such, the dirs are now: RPMS.atrpms, RPMS.blag, RPMS.dribble, RPMS.fedora, RPMS.livna
Note, this is very bleeding edge with everything.
I wrote a script which goes through and makes a whitelist of everything in a repository which has a FSF-Free license and adds it to our repo. I'll need to come up with blacklists of programs we don't want from particular places (e.g. perhaps we want atrpms mplayer, but not livnas or somesuch). Let me know if you come across things needing blacklisting.
Have fun,
-Jeff

I have just upgraded to Blaghead, it's working with a couple of issues at the moment such as
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
event-compat-sysv: Obsoletes: sysvinit (< 2.86-24)
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
Also get this error doing an apt-get update:
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Del xmms-1.2.11-36.99 8.fc8 [1787kB]
Del fuse-devel-2.7.3-8 9.fc8 [27.2kB]
Del fuse-libs-2.7.3-8 9.fc8 [74.1kB]
W: There are multiple versions of "ices" in your system.
I suppose these are just the usual teething problems that we have to iron out and as always "HELP" is welcome and appreciated :)
PS: apt-get clean all resolved the first issue.

For sysvinit, there's a new one now, which may fix that. If not, you may have to run this first (note once this is run you inittab/startup is changed completely!)
| Code: | | apt-get install upstart event-compat-sysv |
You'll have to `rpm -q ices`, find the older one then `rpm -e ices-0.0.1` or whatever. The sysvinit thing is a repo issue, the ices thing you managed on your own. ;)

I did try to remove the older ices but got the following error
| Code: | rpm -e ices-2.0.1-4.fc7.i386
error: %postun(ices-2.0.1-4.fc7.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 |
Also still have issues when trying dist-upgrade
[code]apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Calculating Upgrade... Failed
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
event-compat-sysv: Obsoletes: sysvinit (< 2.86-24)
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
This still happens after I installed this
[code]Updating / installing
upstart-0.3.9-17.fc9.i386 ############################## [100%]
event-compat-sysv-0.3.9-14.fc9.noarch ############################## [100%]

I also now have a problem with gnome and cannot log in using gnome was using enlightenment had to remove networkmanager and that removed enlightenment so now i am using fluxbox, lucky me...i install several desktop managers. Gnome won't start because it cannot access /home/user/.dbus/sesson.
Fluxbox is not my favorite desktop need to have gnome or enlightenment back ASAP, i also tried the link to the new repo for enlightenment, that was a total loss i download and setup the repo only to get 404 errors when trying to use it :(

Hey jayeola, nothing wrong with fluxbox but it's not for me I prefer Enlightenment or gnome, at a push xfce is next best after enlightenment and gnome. Sorry but fluxbox comes way down the list of desktops that I would use.
Have you any suggestions as how to resolve my problems ?

To get rid of ices:
| Code: | | rpm -e --nopostun ices-2.0.1-4.fc7 |

Hey all...!
I tried to set up my apt's blag.list this way:
rpm http://www.blagblagblag.org/ blaghead/i386 atrpms blag dribble fedora livna
I fetched all of them, but when processing in order to install, some conflicts with packages like util-linux and the lists go on and on.. I messed up my box... :/
By the way, I disabled current apt's blag.list lines, I just let blaghead line because I was getting a MergeList error...
What is the correct way to use blaghead repos + apt?
I don't use yum, but is there a command like: apt-get dist-upgrade for it. ?

Looks good (there's x86_64 too, by the way)
| Code: | $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/blaghead.list
rpm http://www.blagblagblag.org/ blaghead/i386 fedora atrpms dribble livna blag |

Yes, you may have to install util-linux-ng and upstart semi-manually. I kind of "gather forces" first with a `apt-get --download-only dist-upgrade` then perhaps take it to runlevel 3 or even 1 for the real upgrade. You'll have to try things like:
| Code: | apt-get update
apt-get --download-only dist-upgrade
sync
init 3 (or maybe 1)
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install upstart
apt-get install util-linux-ng |
On reboot the old glibc wasn't completely removed so i had to:
| Code: | rpm -q glibc
rpm -e glibc-2.7-2.i686 |
You can try `yum update` as well for this. Depends which tool you like better.

Haha. You shouldn't have to reinstall anything, just keep battling with apt ;) The devel repo is a bit that way though...

Yes, it has fedora's development repo and a few others as listed in blaghead.list

Actually I couldn't deal with the "Package's Conflict" at blaghead apt repo, so turned off my laptop... when restarting, it doesn't finish the boot process...!
Do I need to re- install again to keep trying to achieve blaghead?
