MX-19 Repository: The Warpinator Thread

[SwampRabbit]

Warpinator 1.0.8 is in the Test Repo for MX-19.

Please do not enable any repos to install this. You should be able to find and install it using the MX Test Repo tab in MX Package Installer.

No real significant user related updates since the last packaged version, but you can look at the changelog HERE

I enabled the MX Test Repo, but it said there were unmet dependencies. I am on the 32-bit version of MX.

You don’t enable the Test Repo, you install via MX Package Installer Test Repo tab as stated in the first post. Also the actual the dependencies it complains about would be nice.

When I enabled the Test Repository in MX, it automatically enabled the Test Repository in Synaptic

Someone just helped me get this resolved, using the option to install -t mx
I am new to MX and trying to figure the exact procedure out. The main thing that was missing was Python dependencies.

If you would have just used MX Package Installer Test Repo tab, That’s the procedure, it would work first time, without anything else. MX Package Installer is there to make things easy.

Will it work OTB with MX machines on the network running the older versions or Warpinator?

By work, I mean detect them and be able to transfer files.

To be honest I am not really sure. I believe (if I remember right) that I have had luck with different versions working together in the past.
That being said, if there are enough changes between releases backwards compatibility may break. I can't test each version with every version each time, I do know this version works with this version another systems, sorry.

I tested the Warpinator new version from the test repo.

I installed the 1.1.1.1 with the MXPI, it picked up that this was an upgrade.

That went well. And now I answered my main question, is the new version interoperable with machines on the network running the earlier version from the stable repo.

It does. The new install immediately showed the other warpinator instances on the network and I transferred some files successfully. Also, this new version was visible from machines with the older version.

thanks ... hadn't heard of this so i just installed it from test repo on my laptops

it's brilliant and just what i needed because i transfer huge amounts of data daily between laptops ... i had been using external drives ...back and forth ... back and forth ....

it's like magic isn't it ?

... by now i should not be surprised what clever machines can do but watching a movie fly through the air from one machine to another is incredibly arousing ..thrilling

i can even stand between the laptop waving my arms and the data just flies through me .... whatever next ?
