if it is possible to do all the installations only with my-offline-repo.sh, this will be my main option
I have done a few tests, but I will need time to figure out what could be wrong. I spent too long trying to fix the new changes with the search function, so I will try checking the install options soon.
What do you think of making a separate program for each of these repositories, or those that follow the same pattern, it would be possible to stay in the same program, the different ones would enter another program.
Once I get the downloading working properly for antiX package installer related packages it will be included in the same script. Still a work in progress.
it could be each program downloaded to a different folder
For how it works now, this is not a good idea. Better to have all arch related files in the same folder to avoid problems and to save space. Having them in different folder will take way more MBs than having all the repo in the same folder. Maybe if later I set a separate “minimum dependency” option, this could work. I will need to investigate.
What is your point of view on these suggestions, from the point of view of who is programming?
I hope I have collaborated with my suggestions.
This is helpful. I need to know what you are searching for and your feedback guides me to produce better code/a better program.
I doubt this project will ever get “big”, as I am making use of tools already in the system. For now it still is a “simple” program, if compared to other ones in antiX, but I think it is taking shape really well. Once I get things fixed and add the antiX package installer packages to download, then fixing things will be easier.
Version 0.8.2 : I have changed some things now for better use
– I have added a search function instead of hoping the user knows the package name. It may be a bit slow, but I am sure it will help. All APT packages will have this tag. Packages listed by antiX Package Installer will have the “PI” tag.
– The search function is a bit “strict” by default, so that the packages found are limited. It helps filtering for packages. In the future I will add a “exact” and “loose” option so searching for packages is more flexible.
– I have added the initial workings for antiX package Installer list of packages. Right now they will appear in the search results at the top, but I have had some trouble getting them to download properly, so right now they cannot be downloaded. I have tried to get better results for searching these programs, so hopefully it will be easy to use once it works. I have tested with “libreoffice port” for Portuguese (both pt and brazil options), “chrome google”, etc. Once I get them to download properly I will add this to the script.
– I have added a filter option, so now systemd will no longer be downloaded.
– I have taken away to option of downloading 32 bit packages in multiarch systems. It got too complicated, so no I have decided to only be able to download the packages that work for the specific System architecture. You shouldn’t notice any change yourself, as this was a “hidden” option I was working on and didn’t reveal.
