repo-manager2.8apt-default

[Member ile]

Hello
in antiX22
repo-manager2.8, restore apt defaults fails;
repomanager.ccp
is it the jessie / stretch lines at 329 to 335?

    // get Debian version
    QString ver_num = getDebianVersion();
    QString ver_name;
    if (ver_num == "8") {
        ver_name = "jessie";
    } else if (ver_num == "9") {
        ver_name = "stretch";

the changelog shows numerous recent update; i cannot follow after 2.6, because it lists mx-repo-manager as the source [in mx-repo-manager it is lines 353-391] so maybe i did not track the cause correctly, but it fails Restore original APT sources.

“repomanager.cpp” exists only in older versions. In newer versions ((( 0.2.6 onward ))), this code is now found in “mainwindow.cpp”…..

    // get Debian version
    QString ver_num = getDebianVersion();
    QString ver_name;
    if (ver_num == "9") {
        ver_name = "stretch";
     } else if (ver_num == "10") {
        ver_name = "buster";
    } else if (ver_num == "11") {
        ver_name = "bullseye";
    }

…..but that portion of code seems unrelated. The routine used when restoring the default repos reads like this:

void MainWindow::on_pb_restoreSources_clicked()
{
    QString antix_version = shell->getCmdOut("grep -oP '(?<=DISTRIB_RELEASE=).*' /etc/lsb-release").left(2);
    if (antix_version.toInt() < 15) {
        qDebug() << "antiX version not detected or out of range: " << antix_version;
        return;
    }
    // create temp folder
    QString path = shell->getCmdOut("mktemp -d /tmp/antix-sources.XXXXXX");
    // download source files from
    QString cmd = QString("wget -q https://gitlab.com/mx-linux/MX-%1_sources/archive/master.zip -P %2").arg(antix_version).arg(path);
    if (!shell->run(cmd.toUtf8())) {
        QMessageBox::critical(this, tr("Error"),
                              tr("Could not download original APT files."));
        return;
    }
    // extract master.zip to temp folder
    cmd = QString("unzip -q %1/master.zip -d %1/").arg(path);
    system(cmd.toUtf8());
    // move the files from the temporary directory to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
    cmd = QString("mv -b %1/antiX-*_sources-master/* /etc/apt/sources.list.d/").arg(path);
    system(cmd.toUtf8());
    // delete temp folder
    cmd = QString("rm -rf %1").arg(path);
    system(cmd.toUtf8());
    refresh();
    QMessageBox::information(this, tr("Success"),
                             tr("Original APT sources have been restored to the release status. User added source files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ have not been touched.") + "\n\n" +
                             tr("Your new selection will take effect the next time sources are updated."));
}

When failure occurs, are you seeing the error message?
((( “Could not download original APT files.” )))

    QString cmd = QString("wget -q 
https://gitlab.com/mx-linux/MX-%1_sources/archive/master.zip
    -P %2").arg(antix_version).arg(path);

Nothing exists at this URL nor does the “gitlab.com/mx-linux/” namespace exist, right?

yes. fail means got message Could not download original APT files.
iznit, are you indicating that 2.8 works for you?
did you get a fail? or restored to default status?
