bug: micro nightly releases causing continual attempts to update

[philclifford]

micro is now releasing updates tagged nightly so if installed we attempt to compare that string with the installed version and upset dpkg and download the version we already have every upgrade.

Originally reported by @dacorsa in #1125

@dacorsa You'll have the nightly dev installed now. If you wish to get back to latest actual release you'll need to deb-get reinstall micro once either the fix is merged and you get it in a update or you copy the fix into an override in /etc/deb-get/99-local.d/ If you choose to keep the nightly dev version you have you'll instead need to tweak the current definition as an override and get the VERSION_PUBLISHED with something like

VERSION_PUBLISHED="$(echo $URL | cut -d/ -f9 |cut -d- -f2-3 )"

and then watch out for the next actual release.

Hi @philclifford thanks,

but i don't have this path:
17:40:16 root@NanoKDE /etc/deb-get # cd /etc/deb-get/99-local.d/
-bash: cd: /etc/deb-get/99-local.d/: File o directory non esistente
17:41:00 root@NanoKDE /etc/deb-get #

i can create? and inside i have to create a file? micro.txt?

thanks

[philclifford]

Yes - except the filename should be just the same exact name as the app (no .txt). For an override something like cd /etc/deb-get; cp 01-main.d/$APP 99-local.d/ See the README for more detail and a link to the guide to building your own definition file for a new app in an external repo or via the custom user includes route. You might want to chown the /etc/deb-get/99-local.d/ to yourself for convenience. deb-get show micro will show you where it gets the definition from.

i have done but starts all the app from deb-get ...very strange

You need a '"' at the end of the VERSION_PUBLISHED line (sorry, I missed it!) The /etc/deb-get/99-local.d/micro you need for the dev version would be

DEFVER=1
get_github_releases "zyedidia/micro" 
if [ "${ACTION}" != "prettylist" ]; then
    URL=$(grep "browser_download_url.*${HOST_ARCH}\.deb\"" "${CACHE_FILE}" | grep -v nightly |head -n1 | cut -d'"' -f4)
    #VERSION_PUBLISHED="$(echo "${URL}" | cut -d'/' -f8 | tr -d v)"
    VERSION_PUBLISHED="$(echo $URL | cut -d/ -f9 |cut -d- -f2-3 )"
fi
PRETTY_NAME="micro"
WEBSITE="https://micro-editor.github.io/"
SUMMARY="A modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor."

Note that besides the tweaked VERSION the "latest" tag has been removed from the call to get_github_releases on line 2 so you get all the releases from the API.

Once the next release is released you'd probably need to remove the file from /etc/deb-get/99-local.d , do a deb-get update and if the released version appears "lower" than the nightly you'd need to deb-get reinstall micro

ok thanks works perfectly:
