I'm trying to figure out what version of HTMLpurifier I have installed through the pear CLI. I know there was a way to do so but I cannot find it.
I've tried
pear info htmlpurifier
But it just tells me that it doesn't exist. Yet when I make pear check for updates it will check the htmlpurifier's channel??
As far as I can see you just mistyped the name and you need to add the channel (at least the alias)
pear info hp/HTMLPurifier

I want to install a previous, specific version of k8slens (https://k8slens.dev/) but impossible for me to find this (neither for mac nor windows !) Do I have to download the source code and rebuild it? Even with this there is no "install" section in the makefile !
Why is it so difficult to find a specific version?
Yes, you can easily download the source code for a specific version tag and the compile and use it. The list of tags is here.
Once you get the source code of your desired version you can generate the binary with :
make build
And then simply run that binary to get your required version. Just know that install simply means copying a compiled binary in a known Path of the system so it can be executed. There is nothing special about it.
The question was made some time ago but just in case you haven't reached the answer yet, One thing I did to solve this problem was that i went to the lens repo : https://github.com/lensapp/lens/releases and search through the old release versions seeking for a binary asset (.exe) (the news version provide the source code but not the binary) then i managed to find the binary of the version 4.2.3. ( release in Apr 26, 2021)
Worked perfectly for me. Hope it helps
I am wondering whether it is possible to update package that was installed with /x flag?
For me it seems that it is not possible right now. What I mean by updating is making packages.config change with greater version of given package (done by nuget.exe update SolutionName.sln)
What is the flow of update operation? Does it look inside nupgk of actually installed package? Or it just search for version within directory name?
When version in directory name is missing is there a problem with version comparison?
I need precise explanation.
Note:
I use nuget 2.8.50224.430
I created identical thread on nuget codeplex here:
https://nuget.codeplex.com/discussions/543299
I think I managed to answer my own question.
While waiting for response I decided to look at nuget.exe sources and find how is version from installed package gathered.
What I realized:
1. Version is taken directly from packages.config.
2. nuget update command looks for PackageName.PackageVersion.nupkg in packages directory.
3. When wanted file does not exists, update cannot be completed (it is aborted).
I tried to change code to use directory and package name without version.
It is possible but it will be better to request another flag for that purpose.
For curious: PathResolver is created in UpdateCommand.cs
var pathResolver = new DefaultPackagePathResolver(sharedRepositoryFileSystem);
You can pass false as second argument to omit version in path concatenation.
I am trying to install iPlanet pacakage on a Solaris dev box using pkgadd. When I run it it gives me "nsuser user ID is not properly defined to the system. Aborting install." and installation fails.
I am not sure what the error really means and how to fix it. I t would be a great help if someone could point me to the right direction.
Thanks.
I found out that the installation script checks for nsuser in /etc/passwd and nsgroup in /etc/group. I edited those files to add nsuser and nsgroup.
in /etc/passwd i added
nsuser:x:(nsuser id):(nsgroup id):(user name):/home/nsuser:/usr/bin/ksh
in /etc/group I added
nsgroup::(group id):nsuser
And that's it. Re installed the package and it works.
We have an eclipse feature that is licensed and the license is handled by our own code. The user can go in on our update-site and upgrade his feature. The problem we face is when the user's license needs to be updated before he can use the new upgrade.
What I want to do is to validate the feature version against the users license and warn the user that his license needs to be updated before he install.
I thought I would do this using a custom eclipse p2 touchPoint action validateLicense.
Example:
My code is called, where I validate the version against the user's license. If it fails I warn the user and he can then cancel the installation.
So my first question is:
Do I get this right, or is it some other way to do this?
My second question is pretty basic:
Where do I tell eclipse to run my code?
I have looked here at eclipse help where they explain what it is. But I don't understand where to put the information to run my code? Is it in the feature.xml.
Lastly:
Is there an example how to create and use p2 touchPonts?
I implemented a custom action as shown here and I have a system that seems to work. I left out "touchpoint" extension as it's unnecessary in my case, but the rest is the same.
My action is executed during install phase of my feature (instructions.install) but maybe configure phase could work too. Collect phase did not work.
The action is executed during installation process, after the download was already performed. Ideally it would be before the download but it's not a big issue for me. Returning an error status from the action cancels the install. It leaves some downloaded files around but they do not get activated and are probably removed later by p2's garbage collector.
I also managed to do some more interesting things. My actions plugin has a dependency (optional and non-greedy) on my main plugin. So the install works like this:
Actions plugin is downloaded
Custom action is executed
The action detects whether my main plugin is already installed and if yes, it calls into it to retrieve licensing info. The main plugin has to expose an API for the action. The action also checks main plugin's version to detect whether the API is there or not.
The action now can decide whether to proceed or cancel the install. It can even interact with the user using Display#syncExec (this is what the code in checkTrust phase does so I think it's safe). If needed, the action could also detect whether the install is headless.
Some gotchas:
Action itself must be versioned. It's the version you declare in plugin.xml and p2.inf files and it's different from plugin's version. I just replace 1.0.0 with the same version my plugin has. This way the latest version of the action plugin is always downloaded before being executed. This is great because now any problem changes to licensing rules can be implemented in actions plugin.
Actions API changed between Eclipse 3.5 and 3.6. I will probably drop support for 3.5 as it's pretty old anyway.
Actions plugin should probably be signed. It's the case in my case. The system seems almost too powerful to me as just pointing Eclipse to an update site gets it to execute downloaded code.
I still need to test how this works with different versions of Eclipse and other IDEs. I saw a strange (non-blocking) error with 3.6. However the results are promising and it looks like the system might actually work.
Touchpoints are executed at installation time, which means that the resolution (validation) has already happened. I'm not sure they would help. What about creating an Installable Unit (IU) (or Eclipse Feature) that represents the license the user has installed. Then you would put a dependency from your product to that license.
For example, create an IU called com.mycompany.license (1.0.0). You would create another one called com.mycompany.license (2.0.0). When you installed a license, the appropriate IU would be added to the profile.
Now, when you go to install you product, the new version of the product would require license version 2.0.0. If this license was not installed, the resolution would fail.
Does this make sense? Do you think this would help?
I am upgrading an old N2CMS website to the newest version released in the trunk (2.2.5 or something like that), following these instructions https://github.com/n2cms/n2cms/blob/master/docs/releases/upgrade_2.2.1.txt but i am getting an error when tring to compile the project:
Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.
Has anyone done this before and know if there's anything else i should be doing appart from just copying files?
Thanks
Complete text of this error contains the name of DLL you are missing. Read it carefully and you will find out what DLL you need to add. It could be something like Lucene.dll which was introduced recently (it depends how old your project is).
