[parisc-linux] dev-packages

[Bjoern A. Zeeb]

Hi,

is there any chance to get more/all dev-packages on the next ISOs or
place them somewhere on ftp.
Couldn't find them anywhere (except those that are in isos).

This would avoid lots of bootstrapping work.

(especially looking for pam and X -dev packages at the moment ;)

Thanks a lot.

They're all available in the debian archive.  I don't think we have
plans to produce any more CDs until the Debian Woody release (probably
December).

Could you point me to some URL (incl. subdir) please ?

If you've got apt configured (/etc/apt/apt.conf, /etc/apt/sources.list)
then you don't need to worry about finding things directly.  After doing
an 'apt-get update' to fetch the current Packages files and rebuild the
local package database, you can say 'apt-cache search foo' and it will
show you all the packages called foo or with foo in their description.
A simple 'apt-get install foo-dev' will download and install the foo-dev
package and any other package it may require according to its
dependencies.

For more info & discussion on actual Debian issues rather than the
actual development of the hppa-linux kernel and toolchain have a look at
the debian-hppa mailing list (on the Debian website).

If for some reason you do want to find things directly, you should
be aware that pkgs live in a pool now, and you wont find much under
a sid/main/binary-hppa dir on your local mirror.  For example, libc6-dev
would be found under /pub/mirrors/debian/pool/main/g/glibc.  That one
is under 'g' because the source pkg is glibc.  But as Andrew said, apt
is right way to install things normally.

That's it. thanks.

Is apt proxy-aware ?

That's right, and the relative path of the file can be found in the
"Filename:" field of 'apt-cache show packagename'.  Append this to the
URL in your /etc/apt/sources.list and you have the complete URL of that
package to download, if for some reason you need to do the downloading
on another system.

man 5 apt.conf

=)

It sure is, add something like this in your /etc/apt/apt.conf:


// Options for the downloading routines
Acquire
{
  
  // HTTP method configuration
  http 
  {
    Proxy "http://proxy.internal.neep.com.au:3128/";
  };
};


apt-get will also obey the $http_proxy environment variable.
