Clear Linux project level bundles

News and Announcements

Hello all,

With release 43580, the team has completed the transition to making all the content in our rpm repos available via swupd bundle-add.

This change will allow things like swupd bundle-add for development packages directly that might not have been previously exposed in a devpkg bundle or let you select subsets of bundles that previously weren’t available stand-alone.

It also should eventually allow us to do more work on speeding up updates but the initial update to 43580 will probably take a little longer than normal.

I expect there might be a few rough edges where some content that wasn’t exposed before standalone isn’t working quite right so as always please open any issues you find on github.

Thanks,
William

Does this mean we will now have more packages available?
There are items I would like to add that support mtp for cellphone access ifuse for
Apple iPhone and the other libraries and dependency for mounting Android phones.

it gives you access to the -dev and -lib packages whereas before you mightve had to install a huge bundle just for a single .so
eg:

i@clr~ $ sudo swupd search-file libquazip

Searching for 'libquazip'

Bundle qmapshack (532 MB to install)
	/usr/lib64/libquazip1-qt5.so.1.4.0
	/usr/lib64/libquazip1-qt5.so.1.4

Bundle quazip-dev (43 MB to install)
	/usr/lib64/libquazip1-qt5.so

Bundle quazip-lib (0 MB to install)
	/usr/lib64/libquazip1-qt5.so.1.4.0
	/usr/lib64/libquazip1-qt5.so.1.4

i can install quazip-dev just to get the .so file needed for running a program. Before I used to download the rpm then move the .so file into place…

It gives access to things we didn’t have in bundles but did have packaged (not a huge amount of new content though as these were mostly packages required to build other packages).
