vpackager-1.0.11 has been released!

[sparkyhall]

Hi MOE,

I've only just seen your reply so I went to file a bug report and it seems you've already done it so thanks for that.

I'd just like to say apps like VASMCC and vpackager make a huge difference to linux noobs like myself so a big thanks to you and all the other contributors. I will of course keep an eye open for new releases and help with the testing where I can.

I appreciate you guys testing...

I really need testers badly.... so all contributions bug reports are welcome via the project page.
a lot of times I'll fill them out myself as notes to myself, but you guys can do them too. In fact, I'd rather you guys reported bugs there.

Thanks for doing it, M0E.
I've submitted the other bug and an additional suggestion.

In the 1.0.12 release (not released yet) I have enabled the build script writer function. This will generate a script with all the commands necessary to build the same package using whatever the user input was for that one application.
Also, in that release, before the build process begins, vpackager will play information such as application details, CFLAGS to be used, configure options and stuff like that.

"Build script writer function"... sweet.

MOE-lnx, I'm sorry. I understand how it feels to have too few testers (MMBD). I don't use vpackager very much but I do recommend it to new VL users so I will try to do my best to submit any bugs I find.

I really appreciate that dude...

Hi there. This is my first post here. Been around linux for a few years, Debian and RPM distros and Sabayon. This is my first Slackware based and it is great. But I am having this problem. I posted it to tech support and was asked to post it here.

System specs:
SOHO 5.9 with media files.
AMD 5200 4 gigs of ram 750 gig HD Nividia 6100 chipset.

Please post that question on the website. You can use this

Can you tell us which version this is? and which repositores you enabled

It is vpackager 1.0.11, the version that came with my new 5.9 soho. I at first enabled all of them, then I got errors. I then went back to the Vector only ones. Sorry I am at work on my Mandriva laptop so I can't check.

Ok. when you get a chance... Check it and let me know what causes the error.
also, try running it from a terminal window as root and post any output in that terminal here after the program has crashed

Thanks!  The error is caused when ever I click List Avaiable I get the error I posted.

Thank you

Hey folks. Stupid question. What if I remove vpackager and re-install it? I've tried it once but when I reload it i get the same error. I removed by

slapt-get --remove vpackager

Thanks

alright. I found a bug in vpackager 1.0.11. It does not save packages built from compressed source.
I tried to make a ristretto package and it compiled it successfully,but i couldnt find it on the desktop,where i told vpackager to put it.

I also tried to build it from cruxports and it compiled fine,but then it didnt install,giving me the following error:
ERROR: File not found: /usr/ports/VL/ristretto/ristretto-0.0.7-i586-1vl60.tlz
FAILED
 when i looked at it log,i saw that it gave it a different name,from the one i wanted (vl6):
Building '/usr/ports/VL/ristretto/ristretto-0.0.7-i586-1vl59.tlz' succeeded.

i looked if that file exists,and it does..so i had to copy it and rename it by hand
Sorry for being absent for some time. I'm back and willing to help however i can to make this tool one of VEc's killer apps. I think that bugs such as this should be fixed before it gets into VL6 gold- thats when alot of people will start downloading and trying it alot ..
