As was previously in the May extension thread, many extensions suffer from over-writing base system directories. Doing this is not tolerated well when mixed with unionfs. WDef wrote a very useful script to detect this and then strip out offending directories. Instead of waiting for users to complain about individual extensions, I have run the declobber script on all .dsl extensions in the repository.
I need volunteers to test these 'declobbered' extensions and post here, in this thread. As soon as I see positive feedback, I will move the declobbered extension to overwrite the original (bad) one. The url for testing the declobbered extensions will not be added to the extension webpage nor will it be added to the mydsl download tool.
Hopefully this url will be temporary and I will be able to move all these rebuilt extensions to their proper place. This will then provide a means for users to have a better experience using the latest version of DSL.
RobertUm. Why is grub-splash there? I have a local copy, and it is the same as the declobbered one (Nothing was removed/altered).. Originally it has no directories, so maybe declobber has a bug..I am planning to build a new tkdvd uci package that uses the tcl/tk uci rather than its own version. This won't be done right away, though.here's a manual test...
That dir does not exist in DSL.. The DSL one is /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc so it doesn't overwrite a thing
edit: Oops. I had forgotten that. I left that there on purpose: if there was a manually installed grub (since DSL grub files are in /usr) some of it's files might stay, and 'cause they aren't compatible across different builds, using them might crash grub or seem success but prevent booting..
So I think it should be removed from the declobber list..Next Page...
