Hi,

Now tazbb checks that all packages listed in WANTED and BUILD_DEPENDS were built before cooking any package.
The build bot (re)cook a lot of packages each days until the refresh will be empty.
Exemple: curl is updated => recook php (because curl-dev) => recook cups (because php-dev) => recook gtk+ (because cups-dev) => ...
If we sync mirror now, every packages are updated (because the new tools chain with GCC 4.5.1).
Tomorrow hundreds of packages will be recooked and should be updated on mirror again.

The next update will be huge, but we try to have only one huge update.

@bellard
Wouldn't it be simpler to just update the wants that have different library (.so) files then rebuilding every thing over and over again.

I assume it's because of compatibility issues that the libraries have to be recooked rather than replaced.

@godane - I have Visualboyadvance (back-end), Visualboyadvance-gtk (front-end) and ScummVM that I converted over from debian and slackware packages. The Visualboyadvance-gtk had only one package requirement that was not in the repository, so I converted that package over and it runs perfectly. As for ScummVM, I used the slackware version because the Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora versions had mad requirements like an older version of readline and pulseaudio. The slackware version just needs the audio codecs to read it's formats and SDL. It runs pretty well because I tested it recently with a few games.

My aim was to convert them over with as few dependacies as possible and allow them to run. I also have a working version of ZSNES, and if somebody can give me a crash course in how to make that into a package, I would do that conversion too.

Anyway, you can grab these packages @ http://www.trixarian.za.net/?Projects:SliTaz
