#eopkg — Public Fediverse posts

Just remembering something before I shuffle off to bed...

I'd like to write a "vrms" / "check-dfsg-status" - style script for #eopkg.

The idea is that it looks through your package repo and warns you if any packages are proprietary. It's quite easy to do on Debian, as it relies on whether or not any packages are from the Contrib or Non-Free repos. I wrote one for flatpak that looks at the license of each installed package, and searches for stuff like (GPL|MIT|BSD|etc...).

I also wrote one for #arch years and years ago, but found it was a futile effort, as hundreds of packages in the base install just had "custom" in the license field.

So far, it's looking quite promising:

$ eopkg info $(eopkg -N li |cut -f1 -d" ") |grep ^Licenses |cut -f2- -d: |tr , "\n" |sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//; s/[[:space:]]*$//' |grep -v "^$" |uniqsort

#Solus #SolusLinux

Happy to report that I've added support for #SolusLinux' #eopkg to all of my little package utilities: https://codeberg.org/rldane/scripts/commit/73d34d376cabf5d209f85ca8eafaef92395cb5e0

#Solus

Next #inxi is shaping up well, all running in #pinxi now. Came across an ancient distro I'd never heard of, #TDSDE, which apparently preceded Gentoo by a few months. Poor docs, unreliable source builds, but got everything inxi cares about working, and found some weak spots. These corner case distros often expose weak assumptions.

Also locked down #rpm packages, #urpm #eopkg #pisi repo reports, which were not great, or not working.

Took a while to get enough fixes to warrant a new release.

Found issues in #inxi repo report for some software sorced repo lists.: #mageia's #urpmq, #pisi, #solus #eopkg. These all are roughly similar and all had same report glitch of showing one repo data source per output line instead of source then all repos. The output was also weird. Corrected in #pinxi. Thanks #mrmazda for noticing.

Then noticed the #rpm package count failed for mageia. Turns out they are using different version of rpm, missing some options so no results. Will add workaround.
