current c1 img is missing Update Manager and synaptic #51

Open star-buck opened 5 years ago

llelectronics commented 5 years ago

Is missing currently as it depends on synaptic.

star-buck commented 5 years ago

Then we manually can add it?

llelectronics commented 5 years ago

Yes if you manually add synaptic you can install mintupdate from the repo

star-buck commented 5 years ago

how can we get an img that has synaptic and update manager installed, that doesnt uninstall them when updating and as soon as synaptic comes back into the official repo, it works normally? I need such an img for C1 to ship.

llelectronics commented 5 years ago

I could write a live build hook that grabs the deb from debian unstable and installs it together as getting mint update again as a temporary workaround for the issue. (its the quickest workaround possible and easily done in contrast to cloning synaptics source and building it on dci which will land in our repositories then and could get a higher priority than the debian repos version when later appearing again) The installed packages will only be affected by newer packages landing in the repositories. So if a newer version of Synaptic lands in buster it will get updated for our users.

Lets do this then as temp. workaround. We can aim for a 19.06 release for desktop and core versions once buster becomes really stable.

any success for it + new img?

llelectronics commented 5 years ago

There is a test image already here which uses the workaround script. Its a first build I did not test it yet. Will do this tomorrow: http://ds9-eu.s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/dci/images/1901/armhf/netrunner-core/C1/netrunner-core-c1-20190410.1809-armhf.img.gz
