Package manager - question?

Hello folks,
I wish to know why Package manager in openSolaris is so
slow application. I know that it is written in Python, but
I still do not understand why somebody did not offer some
patch for that application. I will help honestly in programming
if you need coders.

Please send your question to [email protected] That is the best place for discussion OpenSolaris packaging tools such as packagemanager. This forum is better for Solaris installation issues (from Solaris 10 and SXCE, for example).

Slackware user - Arch install process and package management questions

I currently am using Slackware 12 with updates. It has become increasingly cumbersome to compile new software given the number of dependencies that also have to be compiled, and have their own dependencies compiled, etc and so on.
Other than the fact that the adoption of new packages is somewhat glacial, and that there is no automatic dependency resolution, I really like Slackware. Its fast, relatively easy to configure, and easy to use. I'm conversant in commandline-ese.
I've been led to understand based on the Arch wiki that Arch is very similar to Slackware in its layout, but with bleeding edge packages and dependency resolution, so I would think it would be about perfect.
However, I also understand that the install is more difficult that Slackware. How much more so is my question. Is it impossibly confusing and unhelpful like Debian installation was, or just slightly more difficult than Slackware or FreeBSD (both of which have very smooth installation scripts)
Also, for packages that have to be compiled from source, are dependancies easy to satisfy from the arch repository, or do dependencies for new software have to be compiled with their dependencies.
I'd probably just be trashing everything but /home, and doing a clean reinstall.
Is Arch the right distro for me, or am I better off staying with Slackware? Like I said, I really like Slackware except for the package management issues.

You are right about that.

They are quite similar, but Slackware provides more help when doing tasks like - how can I partition my harddisk and so on. But If you're comfortable with Slack's install procedure then installing Arch is much easier, just read the install guide.
I think Arch is good for you, because currently I have both - Slackware and Arch and both suit me fine for my needs.
Also remove all *. entries in your /home

Package Manager console failed to load

Last night I installed update 3 for Visual Studio 2012 professional (version 11.0.60610.01). This morning when I started the package manager console I received the following errors. I did a repair of VS but other than taking a long time
it did not fix anything. I also installed all the extension updates, no help either. The file mention below is where it should be and I can open it. Tried running in administrator mode, again no help. All three versions of power shell
seem to run just fine (64, 86, ISE). I am running Windows 8 on a 64 bit machine, all updates are installed.
Any suggestions on how to fix this one?

Ran Get-ExecutionPolicy from PowerShell (x86) it returns Restricted
Also looking around... I have on add-in installed or running
Also tried uninstalling nugget and reinstalling
I noticed on the NuGet website it calls for PowerShell 2.0. It seems I have PowerShell 3.0, could that be a problem? Can I install PowerShell 2.0/3.0 side by side, is there an update to NuGet?

Found the following link in stack overflow, added the suggested items to the VS exe config file and it works now without error.

How do I stop VI Package Manager from crashing when I try to use it?

So I've been wanting to play around with the Arduino toolkit, but when I installed the VI Package Manager, the splash screen stayed up for a very long time. I tried quitting in Task Manager, and running it again. This time after about 10 seconds, it gave me the standard Windows crash dialog. I tried running it as Administrator, but that didn't help. I also tried running it in XP compatibility mode, and that opened a popup saying it couldn't detect a LabVIEW installation, but it still wouldn't load (It didn't crash though; just stayed at the splash screen.) I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate, and LabVIEW 2011 Professional Development System.

You really should ask this question on the VIPM board at JKI.

JKI package manager and LV7.1?

Hi folks,
If this isn't the appropriate forum for this question, please re-direct me. I'm using LV7.1 at work and home. At home, I'm running it under Vista - I haven't run into any problems with this, but I'm not using any hardware - just writing standalone programs for number crunching type stuff. Having recently seen the Moore Good Ideas VI packages, I decided to try installing them at home, but I can't get the required JKI Package Manager to work properly. It recognizes the LV version and will even launch LV, but when I go to install a VI package (any package, MGI or OpenG, etc.), it just sits there with the Package Manager process indicator going endlessly (I let it run for 20 mins once). I am sure I have the LV settings correct per the instructions. Does anyone have experience with this combination (JKI pkg mgr/LV71/Vista) or possibly the former two with XP? Some of the available VI packages are supposedly compatible with LV7 (and 6 for that matter), so I assumed it would work somehow - bad assumption?

Have you set the 'VI server settings correct'?

The flaw in LabVIEW Tools Network: VI Package Manager

At first I was impressed with the LabVIEW Tools Network (see here). Its seemed like a plus for everyone:
- Developers who didn't want to reinvent the wheel, could easily find and download code using the VI Package Manager.
- Developers who want to re-sell their code, could easily package it and sell it via the Tools Network marketplace (similar to the iPhone's App Store).
But then I found the flaw: The VI Package Manager
Developers (essentially) need to use the VI Package Manager if they want to sell their code ... and it costs $999. And you'll need to add on the cost of a LabVIEW license ($2k+), of course. This will surely elimate many coders from participating. In fact, it'll probably also artificially raise the price of all the SW being sold on the Tools Network.
And by the way: Why is NI relying on a third-party SW delivery tool for their marketplace at all? Especially one that costs developers $1k to package their add-on? Why doesn't NI just build their own VI Package Manager and dump JKI Tools all together? In this case, building their own Package Manager would make sense for NI. Cut ot the middle-man. And after all, didn't NI do this to Endevo when they built their own LVOOP tool (thereby dumping Endevo's GOOP toolkit into oblivion?).
Oh... and need I remind anyone that Apple only charges developers $99 to distribute iPhone apps? And their development environment is given away totally free.
Solved!

Hi
josborne,
Thanks for the feedback on the LabVIEW Tools Network. We wanted to make it easy for developers to share/sell reusable code with eatch other, and make it easier for developers to get their hands on reusable code rather than program everything from scratch. We wanted to build an ecosystem and marketplace for LabVIEW developers.
It sounds like your biggest pain point is the $999 price point for VI Package Manager. We worked with JKI this past year to make package building a feature of the free edition of VIPM 2010, the Community Edition. So you do not need the $999 Professional Edition to create a LabVIEW Add-on. The Pro version does have several nice benefits though, and you can read about these here: http://jki.net/vipm/compare
You also contrasted our program with the Apple Developer Program which gives you the development tools for free (with the $99 program fee). Well, the main difference here is that the development environment for LabVIEW is LabVIEW! (As opposed to Apple where you are developing for the iPhone/iPad). So I don't think we're comparing Apples to Apples (no pun intended). However, we do offer start-up assistance to developers who want to develop LabVIEW Add-ons to further reduce the barrier to entry. More here: Add-on Dev Center - Startup Assistance.
To answer your question about why we chose to go with a third party solution (JKI's VIPM) instead of developing our own - we had several reasons. But I can summarize in one - we had a partner, JKI, who has developed an excellent solution for distributing LabVIEW Code, and was willing to work with us to make the integration with LabVIEW even better, so why create a brand new solution from scratch rather than let them continue to innovate in this area?
By the way, if you haven't seen the integration between the Tools Network and VIPM 2010, you really should give it a try! Here's a sample free Add-on to try - the OpenG Libraries (Click the Download button).

Package manager in CQ

I have a question about the package manager in CQ. In the Adobe CQ documenation I read that to be able to upload/install packages you need to have access to etc/packages and the node where the package resides. But I cannot find any documentation about what permissions I need to actually install a package. E.g., say I have read & write access only to /content/website1, does that mean I can also upload packages that contain content for /content/website2 or would that be prohibited. Can anyone point me to some useful documentation on this subject. Many thanks!

Hi,
If you install content via packages, you need to have access rights on the path you want to place the content to. So if dev1 wants to upload content to /content/site1, he needs to have write create and modify rights, to actually work with that in siteadmin read access is also required.
In your case you should the access rights of the user in the useradmin console to validate what access rights "dev1" has on /content/website2.
The access control is enforced on a repository level, and the pacakge manager cannot bypass this.

But, as I said, that was a few years ago. My question here is, how can Smart be better than pacman for Arch? (This is not a sarcastic question, I really want to know.)
It really has to do with the algorithm. For me to explain that, would involve getting into the python code. I am a novice at python, so explaining all that would be a bit over my head. The same could be said of rpm or dpkg or any other. See, over the years there have been many package managers, and the evolution of package managers. Each have their own benefits, but they all were just overlays of the systems package management, and really didn't deal with the issue. That has historically been left up to, in the case of rpm, rpmlib and the packager. rpmlib is called upon the check provides, requires, depends, and obsoletes, and ofcourse this is all the job of the packager to properly handle those. So now enters smart on the scene. Smart changed all that by changing the algorithm, and part of it involves reordering. It's an rpm option, that is generally unknown and not used. Smart does allow you to turn off the algorithm, in which case it becomes just another overlay for the systems package manager.
I started out with Slackware 7.1, and have used a variety of rpm distros, but have also used a few deb distros. I have also done Sabayon Linux, so I am familiar with portage as well. I was called up, some time ago, to code the backend for ArchLinux. So I read up on pacman. Lots of config options. A truly nice tool. I, however, found platinummonkey, who had more experience at python, and was already familiar with ArchLinux. So I introduced smart to him, and asked him to code the backend.
I continue to study python, but until I get a whole lot better at python, and learn C, this is as far as I can explain the algorithm. Actually, I have my hands full. I'm learning Glade, GTK+, python, and pygtk, all at once. I do realize Glade is a RAD. Glade itself isn't hard. It's knowing GTK+, which is funny since knowing GTK+ requires knowledge of C. So I'm in deep.
Feel free to review the code. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~smartpm/smart/trunk/files

How can I Updating firefox for linux in package manager ?

Thank for reading my question.
I am a beginner off Linux. The computer sends almost all the time messages you have to update, it's to old. I have Linux from a package manager, but it is looks like everything is updated, must I change it? Firefox is sloooooow.
And gmail ask me to update. Updated manually Firefox have I done but never starts.
Is it a computer virus or something else?
What should I do?

It is possible that your Linux distribution is no longer updating Firefox.
In that case you can consider the download and install the full version of the current Firefox release.
You can find the full version of the current Firefox 33.0.1 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
Make sure that you meet the System Requirements (GTK+ and GLib) for the current Firefox version.

Hi Fačko,
Normally, we won't get any errors if we create a new project. Since you get this error when using OpenCV library and it is a third-party product, I think you need to ask in
OpenCV forum for better response.
Thank you for your understanding!

How to deploy EAR on CE server using Java Support Package Manager

Hello,
I am using CE server where I want to deploy EAR file by using JSPM. I run this program in Drive:\usr\sap\CE1\J00\j2ee\JSPM\go.bat
I have also put the EAR file into the inbox folder Drive:\usr\sap\CE1\SYS\EPS\in but still It does not show me any file to proceed further for deployment.
Does any one has idea?
Regards,
NK

Hi,
The Java Support Package Manager is not able to deploy a single .ear file.
If the *.EAR file is placed inside an SCA (Software Component Archive) then JSPM is able to deploy it.
You have to create a .SCA from an .EAR file
SAP note 1223957 contains an attachment (nwpacktool.zip) which can be used to create a .SCA file from the .EAR file.

Support Package Manager for EBPCRM

Hi,
In CRM/EBP SAP systems there is used special 'Support Package Manager for EBPCRM' to implement Support Packages instead of standard transactions like SPAM/SAINT.
I'm trying to implement more then one Support Package into the system however this is probably not possible. It seems that it is not possible to create import queue with more then one Support Package? Importing SPs one by one is very time consuming task. SO that's why I'm wondering about this special tool.
Do you have similar functionality?
BR
m./

Hi Jose,
Yes I've put all the SPs into '\usr\sap\trans\Eps\in'. But 'Support Package Manager for EBPCRM' asks me for particular one while I'm going to import it. There is no such an functionality to use queue creation.
BTW: I'm on SAP CRM 4.0 on WIN/MSSQL platform.

Managing JAVA JDK and JRE with Package Management in Solaris 11.1

I want to manage Java JDK & JRE in an Solaris environment using Package Management I'm currently running Solaris 11.1 in a VMWare host. My current latest Java release is JDK1.7.0_07 and JRE1.7.0_07. I want to upgrade to JDK1.7.0_17 & JRE1.7.0_17 using Package Management. I've tried on several occasions to upgrade to latest release of Java but I have not been successful. Each time I try using the Package Management GUI or use command line they appear to be successful but the new release does not show.
What could I be doing wrong?
Thanks

I also learned that the READMEs for the following patches in My Oracle Support also describe the downgrave process:
Patch 18362676: JAVA 6 DOWNGRADE INCORPORATION FOR ORACLE SOLARIS 11.1.15.4.0 AND 11.1.16.5.0
