Dear developers.
I would like to install additional debian squeeze packages.
Could you please tell me how to add debian squeeze repository?
What parameters should I modify for that?
It’s not exists in package.vyos.net repository.
VYOS_DEBIAN_MIRROR, VYOS_DEBIAN_BOOTSTRAP_MIRROR?
I don’t want to care about dependency.
so I don’t put *.deb packages in pkgs dir.
Thank you for your advice.
Sincerely.
Hiroyuki Sato.
I think he want to add packages into his customized iso with build-iso.

I didn’t get that information from his words, sorry
Does this help ?
Hello fromport and higebu.

or
2, Could you please full-sync debian squeeze mirror on packages.vyos.net?
Problem: Custom build-iso
I would like to install the following packages.
And I appended the following lines into vyatta-extra.list
(livecd/config.vyatta/chroot_local-packageslists)
infiniband-diags
ibutils
ibverbs-utils
perftest
libmlx4-1
libmthca1
mstflint
rdmacm-utils
opensm
And execute ``make’’ command. But I got the following error.
Reading package lists... Done

I can install thorse packages on build-env(Debian 6.0.9)
apt-get install -y infiniband-diags ibutils ibverbs-utils perftest \
libmlx4-1 libmthca1 mstflint rdmacm-utils opensm
Maybe, this is because those packages does not mirror on
http://packages.vyos.net/debian/helium/
Sincerely.
For now you should put those packages to pkgs/ and add them to the packagelists (build-iso/livecd/config.vyatta/chroot_local-packageslists).
I’m not sure there’s a way to enforce repo priorities, and our repo diverged from debian substantially.
Hello dmbaturin, fromport, and higebu
Thank you for your advice.
Hiroyuki Sato.
Hello all:
I am trying to install build-essential package on the latest VyOS. I am not a debian expert by any means. My goal is to install gcc/make etc. and compile PERL modules.
The end goal is to have a API endpoint running on VyOS for remote management and provisioning. I am planning to deploy & manage high amounts on VyOS on couple of hypervisors.
Why PERL? Cause I know it pretty well and also there are lot of PERL scripts on VyOS appliance already I can piggy back on. It will be a very purpose specific built API (to manage interfaces, tunnel configurations). I am planning to use Mojolicious framework.
Here is what happens when I try to install build-essential.
set system package repository squeeze components ‘main contrib non-free’
set system package repository squeeze distribution ‘squeeze’
set system package repository squeeze url ‘Index of /debian/’
set system package repository squeeze-backports components main
set system package repository squeeze-backports distribution squeeze-backports
set system package repository squeeze-backports url ‘http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports’
apt-get update
apt-get -y install build-essential
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
build-essential : Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or
libc-dev
Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.4.3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
I did some research and I think this has to do with the fact that some packages were installed from wheezy (Debian 7.x)
Only fix I found was to manually edit sources.list
If I change, squeeze to wheezy, apt-get finds the packages with a warning
deb Index of /debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free # squeeze #
deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main # squeeze-backports #
I get the big warning
certain libraries, such as libpam, libc, and libssl, x
x are upgraded. Since these restarts may cause interruptions of service for the system, you will normally be prompted on each x
x upgrade for the list of services you wish to restart. You can choose this option to avoid being prompted; instead, all x
x necessary restarts will be done for you automatically so you can avoid being asked questions on each library upgrade. x
x x
x Restart services during package upgrades without asking? x
x x
x x
Restarting services possibly affected by the upgrade:
ssh: restarting…done.
cron: restarting…done.
atd: restarting…done.
Services restarted successfully.
I am guessing these services shouldn’t affect the functionality of VyOS. I experimented the latest VC Edition of Vyatta which is based on 6.0.7 and I didn’t have any problems with installing Debian packages.
I have a feeling that once VyOS is ported to Debian Wheezy (7.x) this problem will go away, but I was wondering if there is a better workaround in the meantime.
Can you think of a better way to pre-install what I want to install? I am planning to clone VMs with blanket configuration where a controller will connect to VyOS over API and configure the rest (I am aware of the interface ordering issue which is easy to work with)
Thanks in advance
Luke
