@Xecure Some feedback:
Great work! Following Linux and antiX’s philosophy- do one thing, do one thing well, do it using the least resources possible!
I tested the original version. It worked but was a bit “funky”- I clicked to download dependecies and, just to test it, choose “chromium”- it downloaded some stuff that I didn’t bother to write down (sorry for that).- it was quite fast. I went to the download folder that I had chosen and no files where there. I clicked the “download dependencies” button again, and then I began seeing deb files pop up on my folder, and a quite nice (and a bit familiar) yad window pointing out what was being downloaded. Perfect.
It downloaded a bunch of files, and it took a veryyy long time (not sure if the servers were slow or if it was my connection).
After downloading every single dependency- sure as sin, Chromium appeared in my personal Repo, ready to be installed. I already had it my system, so I didn’t try to reinstall from there, but I’m betting it works – Chromium is there, along with what seems half the Debian repository 🙂
Easy to use, simple and does the job well!
Suggestion- change the button’s title from “download dependencies” to “download app and it’s dependencies” (or something similar)
@Marcelo – as you can see, Xecure’s original script worked fine in my antiX 19.X, 64 bits (apart for the initial “false start”). Always have the on-line system up to date ( ex: run “sudo apt update” first).
You can use the files you download using this script in any other on-line or off-line antiX system- run the script, choose to install any application you previously downloaded using the script- it should work like a “normal” on-line repository and allow you to install any of the applications it has!
You can after installing anything using this script, connect the computer to the internet- it will behave just like it is using applications (firefox, chromium, libreoffice, gimp) installed directly from the internet.
Just to make it clear- when using the script on a on-line computer you should choose where the files will be downloaded to (the folder that will act as a off-line repository for your applications and all it’s dependencies). then copy that folder to a pen drive or cd/dvd rom then copy that folder to the off line antiX system, run the script and point to to use the right folder. Install anything you want from there. Easy and simple to use. You can do it even without not understanding much English!
Edit: Xecure just typed faster than me!
