K9COPY Users.

[ftinius]

First off if I am in the wrong section to post this please excuse me.
I have k9copy working in both Debian Jessie and MX14.4 (Linux 3.16.0-0.bpo-1-686.pae.
I downloaded the deb image from http://tomtomtom.org/k9copy-reloaded/en.html
the jessie version does not install in either OS but these versions (see next two lines) both work.
k9copy_3.0.3-1_vivid_i386.deb 02-Mar-2015 18:29 1,4M i386 debfile
k9copy_3.0.3-1_vivid_amd64.deb 02-Mar-2015 18:29 1,4M amd64 debfile

I have tested both on copying DVD's.

Sure hope this helps.

k9copy is in the Mepis 12 testrepo CR.

Code: Select all

$ apt-cache policy k9copy
k9copy:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.0.3-1mcr120+1
  Version table:
     3.0.3-1mcr120+1 0
        500 http://main.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/testrepo/ mepis12cr/test i386 Packages

Interesting. I had heard that k9copy had gone the way of the dodo bird.

Development

Development was resumed in 2014, under the project listing of K9copy-reloaded at Sourceforge.net, by a new developer after the initial development of K9Copy was stopped in 2011 with the author citing the fragmentation of Linux as a major issue.

Can someone shed some light as to which version (k9copy or k9copy-reloaded) is in the repository? The MX test repository lists k9copy version 3.0.3, which is the same version number as k9copy-reloaded available through SourceForge. I'm guessing they're one and the same.

That is the 10/14 update on the SF reloaded site

It looks like they're both a '3.0.3-1' version, so I'm not sure if there's any difference between them.

I think Stevo built his k9copy package from the source at the deb-multimedia.org repo.

edit: I was wrong. Stevo's package is also built from the k9copy-reloaded source. I found this post he made here: http://forum.mepiscommunity.org/viewtop ... 83#p356983

Since it's been in testing for 6 months with no problems reported, K9Copy has been moved to the main M12 CR where it is more likely to be seen.

BTW: what does this line mean? I see it all the time.

Mike's also rebuilt it for the MX 15 repo...

I think that's a temporary symlink the apt-notifier script created when it does the apt-get upgrade/dist-upgrade in the 2nd terminal window (the View and Upgrade mode).
The symlink is supposed to get deleted when the script closes the terminal window.
You might have closed the terminal window one time by clicking on it's the 'X' close icon instead of letting the script exit on it's own.
You can delete the 'synaptic-rywYPl-pins' symlink.

Trouble is, there is absolutely nothing in there, not even a hidden file.
