myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: MyDSL Maker



Just tried it for the second time, first time I was getting 0KB files, this time around it looks like none of the selected packages were added, as the downloaded file was 50MB, when it should have been around 137MB?

On the plus side, I got a steady download speed of 335KB/s, downloading the iso in like 2 - 3 minutes!! :p
Is the iso coming off your own server, or what?  'Cause it's a whole heap faster than iblio...
Heh.  Not yet.  But very good idea; I'll work on it. There's a lot I want this script to do, to be honest.

Meanwhile, changes since last update:
fixed a bug in the calcsize.js script; before, it would add the mkwriteable overhead for each .dsl file, now it does it once (either minimum or recommended-offset, not both) if a dsl is present.
Repaired bug that caused it to not build the packages (it was me trying to be slick without quite understanding how list(...)=split(...) worked.)

The people serving the script are methanesea.com.  I pay them $10 a month for 10GB of bandwidth, unlimited HD space (within reason), php/perl scripting, mysql databasing, and the ability to run any cgi I feel is appropriate (again, within reason, which is why I'm working so hard to make the script run faster; the last thing I want on my hands is an angry host).
made an ftp-updater for updating the repository from ibiblio.  It talkes a long time, and my copy of the mirror is wrong somehow (almost every file by a couple of bytes).  I'm currently doing the update locally, then I'll update the online repository and run the updater script remotely to make sure evrything's in order.
OK Initial impression - Bloody Damn ™ Brilliant

Worked a treat. This is going to save a lot messing about.
Congratulations for a very neat idea and execution.
