 |
|
I recently created some new modules for my own use and following the instructions in the Module_Writing page, I created them in zlocal. However, I've just run lunar update and apart from some strange messages that appeared to come from the internals of my modules (but I can't see in the files themselves) the lunar update also *removed* my modules.
How to I tell the system not to remove my zlocal modules? |

Went back through the various module related links under the Lunar Linux Documentation page and couldn't find anything obvious. However man lvu states:
| Code: |
edit <module>
Copy an existing module to zlocal so it can be edited. Turn on ZLOCAL_OVERRIDES
to make sure your edited module gets used instead of the default module.
|
But my modules were new modules, not copies of existing modules, so I hadn't bothered to set ZLOCAL_OVERRIDES when I created the modules, and everything just worked. Trying to re-run lin on my modules gave me 'Unable to find module in moonbase' messages. After using lunar to explicitly switch ZLOCAL_OVERRIDES from OFF to ON, lin was finally able to find and install the new modules from zlocal. So, solved by the pebcak 
The activity log shows the lunar module itself had been updated at the start of the lunar update:
| Code: |
20060721-15:58:26 lrm lunar 20060319 success
20060721-15:58:28 lin lunar 20060527 success
|
Did zlocal and ZLOCAL_OVERRIDE handling change between the two versions? |

this was a bug in lunar/theedge that got fixed 2 weeks ago - but only in _theedge_
I'll sync and push lunar today so you get the fix  |
