I could work around this issue or possible revert back to just using unzip. But, I don’t think it should have to do that. And I would rather use a package manager.

So, is it going to be fixed in FDINST? I kind of feel that they both need to be able to correctly install all of the packages on your repository. :) > >> 2) Although, when 1st problem is corrected this won’t matter. >> But, it does not generate an exitcode errorlevel when this happens. >> Basically, it prints an error and continues on as if nothing went wrong. > > This is part of the design.

Let’s take the attrib package for example. FDINST “installs” all of the files noting an issue with attrib.com, but reports it successfully installed the package. End result, any attempt to use attrib will cause system lockup/crash. Because, only the first 180 bytes of the 5k binary are present on the drive. I think It should exit with an errorlevel (maybe 2). But, it really needs to do something about the partial executable. > > Mateusz > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Go from Idea to Many App Stores Faster with Intel(R) XDK > Give your users amazing mobile app experiences with Intel(R) XDK. > Use one codebase in this all-in-one HTML5 development environment. > Design, debug & build mobile apps & 2D/3D high-impact games for multiple OSs. > http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/clk?id=254741551&iu=/4140 > _______________________________________________ > Freedos-devel mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Go from Idea to Many App Stores Faster with Intel(R) XDK Give your users amazing mobile app experiences with Intel(R) XDK.
