Duet Pi Regression - How?

Danal

To the autopurge point, yah, I'd like to avoid that for exactly those two reasons: removes 'non package' files and could remove anything that apt thinks it should, outside the duet universe.

At the same time, I thought it would create a state where apt install with version number didn't do the "broken" thing. Obviously, it does not.

So... part of the reason for asking this question was to see if regression is worth scripting. Something that spits out all the commands, much like depcheck. Probably is...

Danal

Why is that 95%? Or what is the 5% edge case?

afaik the only flaw is the recursive checking i limited to duetframework because it was the only package without a direct dependency to dsf (i.e. if that changes it fails, but then apt will complain so safe-ish)

and purging duetsd will clear out the most of /opt/dsf/sd folder ~~configs, macros, gcode, everything.~~

oh, and there is something weird with the reprapfirmeware n.n.n.n-1 and n.n.n.n-999 dependenices for otherwise identical versions. so i ignore the 999 in the rexeg

Agreed. I'm now on the warpath to avoid 'apt purge'.

'apt remove' only removes things in the package manifest, and deletes empty directories. If non empty, it will leave them. I believe the one time I regressed (by a manual method) that everything stayed intact, EXCEPT config.g had been overlaid with the empty-ish distribution copy. All other files, like tfree and tpost and so forth, and macros, they were all intact.

Me too.

With regard to "how to recurse" without depending on the exact structure of the package, this seems to work, then parse the "depends" line:

apt show duetsoftwareframework=1.2.3.0

this seems to work,

missing duetruntime which is why i turne to recusion that ultimately failed if left run to to all the leaf nodes.

Danal

Hmmm... I wonder how it gets installed? With no dependency?

duetcontrolserver has it as a dependency iirc (thus the recursion)

Danal

Ah, light bulb just came on. Thank you.

Danal

And, by the way, autopurge (which I am NOT going to use) actually does not purge the recursive stuff after a

sudo apt install duetsoftwareframework=1.2.3.0 duetcontrolserver=1.2.3.0 duetruntime=1.2.3.0 duetsd=1.0.5 duettools=1.2.3.0 duetwebserver=1.2.1.0 duetwebcontrol=2.0.4-1 reprapfirmware=1.2.3.0-1

style install, and an apt remove duetsoftwareframework.

So.... it would not have worked anyway.

Just switch to RPM

+2

was wondering if aptitude* would be better suited, but decided to brush up on regex instead

*) not better than RPM..

How about //STEP1 EXEC PGM=SMPE? It handled prereqs, coreqs, and even postreqs flawlessly. Why, I've heard you could build and entire OS with it!

apt remove duet* reprapfirmware is about the same length and oddly more specific. would work with remove and purge for that matter.

Yah, I thought about the nicely structured names. As you said though, if the package changes...

then it has a greater chance of catching it as duetruntime still doesn't depend on duetsoftwareframework.

and if apt remove duetcontrolserver duetruntime duetsd duetsoftwareframework duettools duetwebcontrol duetwebserver reprapfirmware is the alternative then it needs to be updated anyways.

to be honest I have more faith in a * than apt and dependencies defined for the packages should autoremove fail.
