I should have been more clear... When I said BINs, I did mean everything excluding sources. The RBE does it by extracting the zip, totally up all files and their sizes. Then totals just sources. Subtracts source results from totals. Then shoves the results into a metadata file that package and gets put on the install media. That way when FDIMPLES runs it just reads that file and knows how big the “bins” and “srcs” are post install. > > You could even do something evil such as making a copy of your > repository, doing a clever one-liner to remove all sources from > all zips, and record the sizes of the source-stripped binaries. Eventually, I’ll probably just have the repo management software figure it out when adding a package to the repo. That way, things like the package list CSV file can include fields for that as well. > Cheers, Eric :-) Jerome (Oh, btw. That was a really nice FreeDOS 1.0 CD you had. People like hard copies of things. We should all try and convince Jim to do an real physical CD or USB stick. I’d get one! ) _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
