Hi, I've just updated my MimeMan package (to version 1.24-0 in Unstable) and it's showing in http://www.riscpkg.org/pkg/Unstable but the version on my harddisc is only 1.221 and it's not showing as updated when I choose "Update" in RiscPkg. Any ideas? Thanks, Adam -- -- Adam Richardson Carpe Diem http://www.snowstone.org.uk/riscos/

I've never tried this myself, as I've always just selected the individual package I want upgraded by selecting Install (+ on the toolbar) and then Commit.

Yes, I've tried that but MimeMan's still stuck at 1.221 :( As I recall, the "Update" option should put a symbol (I forget exactly what) next to all the entries which have updates available - but that's not happening here either. :( Adam -- -- Adam Richardson Carpe Diem http://www.snowstone.org.uk/riscos/
[OT: I sometimes have a problem with this at work too ;)] Is there any way for an app to know if it's being managed? Some of my programs can update themselves (MimeMan being one) but that's not ideal if they're being managed so I'd like to be able to detect the situation when my app is run.

Hmmm. Is it? I think the actual old package version would have been 1.221-5. How does the rule work which makes 1.24-0 lower than 1.221-5 then? Does including the "-" change the rules? Presumably 1.24 /would/ be higher than 1.221? Would it?(Continue reading)

I'm having a little bit of a problem trying to create a package for the !UnixHome application and was wondering if anyone could give me ideas. The !UnixHome application is used by a large number of autobuilt packages to provide the equivalent of the unix "home" directory. It also sets so useful environmental variables used by some of the ports. As such it needs to be booted, before it is ready to use. I thought I had found a way to do this by installing it to the !Boot.Resources directory. Unfortunatly this works if the machine is rebooted, but doesn't set any variables as it is first installed by RiscPkg. Has anyone any ideas what I could do? To complicate matters, the unix home directory is set by a program as it needs to be specified as a unix format path. I'd like to package it as then the ports could include it as a dependency.

Ideally, it sounds like riscpkg needs the ability to autorun something after installation. If this can be added in the future, and since the problem will only occur once per machine, then I think a temporary requirement to either(Continue reading)
