partitions.json for batocera has wrong info for all versions plus adding new RPI4 build #8

Closed nuwonda closed 4 years ago

nuwonda commented 4 years ago

a couple of lines need updating in the batocera partitions and os json file.

partitions.json

 "label":                     "BATOCERA",

it's not RECALBOX

  "partition_size_nominal":    3096,

1.2GB is not enough space, users will not be able to update batocera. 3GB is minimum.

  "uncompressed_tarball_size": 1602,

310 is not the correct value. 5.26 is 1602

os.json url for batocera changed to batocera.org (https://batocera-linux.xorhub.com/" is no longer valid) rpi4 hex revisions added entry for beta and stable possible password changed to mirror batocera default password download size changed to fit 5.26 size

{ "name": "batocera_RPi4", "version": "5.26", "release_date": "2020-04-15", "description": "batocera.linux, the open source retro gaming console", "url": "https://batocera.org/", "group": "Games", "username": "root", "password": "linux", "supports_usb_boot": true, "supports_usb_root": true, "supports_backup": true, "download_size": 822813660, "supported_hex_revisions": "3111,3112", "supported_models": [ "Pi 4 Model B", "Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1" ] }

for the os list json here's the changes required to add RPI4 beta and stable builds: beta:

        "tarballs": [
            "https://batocera.org/upgrades/rpi4/beta/last/boot.tar.xz"
        ],

stable (not available yet) "tarballs": [ "https://batocera.org/upgrades/rpi4/stable/last/boot.tar.xz" ],

I created my own jsons and install went fine, this is just on case you want to update the PINN entries here.

Ping @matthuisman

just noticed, wrong place! will do. cheers

matthuisman commented 4 years ago

this is the problem if OS's don't have their own NOOBS files but do have the correct tarballs. They can get "out of sync". eg. All the batocera issues were correct at the time of creating the files.

@procount What would be a good solution for this? Always host the tarballs ourselves? So we always need to manually do updates? That sounds annoying. haha

Also, this looks interesting: https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/os_list_imagingutility.json

@nuwonda Want to do a pull request with the fixes to my git?

Fork my pinn-os. Create new branch "batocera-fix". Make your changes. Commit them to that branch. Pull request that branch to my master.

nuwonda commented 4 years ago

@matthuisman sure can do. want me to add rpi4 as well?

matthuisman commented 4 years ago

Sure, just call it batocera_RPi4 please

There isn't a good solution. That's why I mostly host them myself on sourceforge. It's a pita. And why they get a bit out of date sometimes. I think the only one I have that is like that is Arch, so I have to update the meta files every once in a while to keep them in sync.

Yes. Have you not seen this post on the best way to install PINN: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=142574&p=1644231#p1638508

i did a push with the changes. the only thing i didnt update is rpi1 and 2 bato folders as I dont download those so I dont have the current sizes. I updates the os lists for all rpi models though to have 3GB nominal partition size, cause it needs it to be able to update. once rpi4 builds are stable, can change the tarball to point to the stable dir. cheers!
