Forum Topic - Could the Patches be made available that were use to produce the repository621a?: (4 Items)
   
Could the Patches be made available that were use to produce the repository621a?  
Hi,

there are many many projects once ported to QNX. The binary packages are available at
http://download.qnx.com/contrib/repository621a/

They are working very well (I've used then with 6.3.0 SP3).

But sometimes the required changes have not made the way upstream and are therefore not available in the pkgsrc packages
. This was the case for python24. This leads to the question if it would be possible to make the patches required to 
produce the binaries in repository621a available? Or is this information lost?

Bye

I can't seems find it right now, but there used to be a "3rd party CD" iso image out there for download.

All the source for packages in that repository area is in the cd image.

There used to be a public cvs repository that was used to coordinate development on the Unsupported CD. However, I think
 that it has been lost in the major overhauls that the QNX website has experienced since then. 

It will be a little more difficult to ferret out the necessary patches but there is a source archive that is included 
with the iso image version of the 6.2.1A 3rd Party Repository. You should be able to figure it out with a copy of the 
original source and diff. 

You can download it from here:

Hi

I've tried this one, and it does not work. QNX installer segfaults while downloading the icons.

Reading http://www.qnx.com/developers/articles/article_877_1.html I've find out that repository.qrm have the icons, so I
 opened it and delete the "icon" part (although it linked to a page that was working, so I don't really know why it is 
fixed) as the attached patch does and it works for me now.

To apply the patch I've just mounted the iso and copy it to somewhere available in my http server, then cd into the 
repository dir and apply the patch (in repository/ there is the repository.qrm file that we need to patch)


Hope it helps




Thanks,
Rodrigo
