Just a stupid question:
Does the sequence matter?
For example is this allowed:

absolutely not

Because I asked two questions in my post.

Another issue I had today.
Samba upstream update packages

Splash Update .... was running forever.
I checked and some samba dialog screen was shown. Something like: an new /etc/samba/smb.conf file is available. Do you want to overwrite?

Maybe a suggestion to make it possible to "close" the splash by hitting the esc key?

Maybe due to my mistake. I installed the samba-server upstream deb.

this is a known issue, I was posting this somewhere. you probably updated with running apt manually. otherwise (xbian-config, auto anything else) would request the install without dialogs.

"no" is answer to sequence.

where is second question ???

This was my second "question"
For example is this allowed:
Sorry it's clear now. So sequence is not important.

ah ok.

but for your information, there is virtual sequencing based on ORIGIN importance if defined.

you can see the virtual sequence if you do "apt-cache policy xbian-update"

part of the sequence is of course version number, then origin.
(but not order in which sources are defined)

So in clarification (I'd got it wrong in previous posts)
It doesn't matter what order you add the lines but it would run like this in reality: it's search order is Devel -> Staging -> Wheezy (Based on version numbers) I hope I have that right :-)

This may be a Xbian 1 feature but would it be possible to have an option in ssh xbian-config to show the currently installed "package" and the possible upgrades

eg. xbian-package-kernel
Current: 1.3-6.4
Wheezy: 1.3-6.4
Staging: 1.3-6.5
Devel: 1.3-6.7

I suppose just an output from apt-cache policy xbian-package-kernel but neater.

This would be easier for testers to determine their current installed versions against new previous releases. Also an option to "dump" the contents to a text file, that could then be posted on pastebin or the like.

there is thd daemon in xbian, check man. just one hook and small script is needed.

Hi I'm new around here, and currently on DEVEL.

Not sure if this is worth reporting, but here it goes..

Having problems upgrading package: xbian-package-cec [ 1.1-0.4 (1.1-1) ]
Looks like there's a dependency problem/missing package

sudo apt-get install xbian-package-cec

Quote:The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xbian-package-cec : Depends: inetutils-ping but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

sudo apt-get install inetutils-ping

Quote:Package inetutils-ping is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'inetutils-ping' has no installation candidate

You must also add the staging repo.

The staging repo is already present in sources.list:

interesting as inetutils-ping is standard package available from upstream (raspbian/debian).

I get this one


do you still have original raspbian repo enabled? should stay.

@IriDium


xbian-config is showing versions. unfortunately raspbian repackaging is causing sooooo much long version number. sometimes even 20characters.

and for available upgrade, xbian-config follows apt-get behaviour. from all repos available, take the highest version. I suppose I understand what you mean probably, source repo is missing there but if you go for devel repo you don't care xbian-config.
repo origin is more relevant to auto-updates. as you can have all possible repos set, but by default only stable packages will get auto installed.

raspbian install is not the standard "case" there.

Ah, that repo wasn't in sources.list, sorry for that.
That solved my self inflicted issue. Thanks!

no problem. in case raspbian - xbian issue appears, please report.

br,

I'm on the latest devel branch and all working fine to date.
