I need a repository

Hi there,

I have installed QNX RTP on my laptop and now im in the stage of needing
some aplettes to run on it, i’ve installed Abiword and some other stupid
apps, but unfortunately as I downloaded QNX RTP from the web, I don’t have
all the stuff in the repository, is there somewhere that I can download the
repository that is on the CD without having to be online with QNX, i.e,
downloading in windows and moving the files around. Thanks for any feedback
:wink:

For any repository URL (e.g., /staff.qnx.com/~cdm/repository/)
you can try to http to it and download the .qpr files. These files are
supposed to invoke the package manager when clicked. I can’t see any
qpr files in the packages.qnx.com/repository2 (only .qrm), but the
directory as a whole looks like the CD repository2 directory. You
could also try to download .qpk/.qpm pairs and install them even
without the package manager, see
http://qdn.qnx.com/support/bok/solution.qnx?10211. Watch the version
of your installation an the version of the packages.

However I must confess that I’ve downloaded all my packages
via the package manager, so maybe someone will correct me…

Thanks mate, I shall give that a try

Hi,

My QNXRPT computer has no internet connection. I can advise the next way:

1/ download the files (this is a part of Getright’s .grx file) :

URL: http://packages.qnx.com/repository2/cdrom.qrm
File: D:\local_rep\cdrom.qrm

URL: http://packages.qnx.com/repository2/content.tgz
File: D:\local_rep\content.tgz

URL: http://packages.qnx.com/repository2/ftp.qrm
File: D:\local_rep\ftp.qrm

URL: http://packages.qnx.com/repository2/index
File: D:\local_rep\index

2/ download any files would you like (or all another) from URL above
(interested_name.*)

3/ creat a new repository and point the “local_rep” folder for new
repository in package manager

It’s all.
Regards,
Eduard.

I’m sorry
The next file is required also
(stage 1/)

URL: http://packages.qnx.com/repository2/repository.qrm
File: D:\local_rep\repository.qrm
