TheeMahn and RepoMaster!

[BBOSAK2143]

Once again our hero is working to improve computer technology again! Before I signed in took a look at what TheeMahn is up to with RepoMaster! The agony and defeat we all face when those programs we want to install through .deb. This has been an ongoing battle since way way before I took the Linux plunge! To be able to successfully repair, rebuild and install packages that are troublesome is a much sought after possession! While others rest on minimal improvements to the computing world, TheeMahn just moves on to a new advancement! This is what impresses me the most! He is unrelenting in his pursuit to make things better for everyone!!! So now as of his latest venture, I am calling him a hero! He deserves a great deal of respect and recognition as his accomplishments make a huge difference to the world of computing! Is great and awesome to see things being done and sincerely wish I had more knowledge and could offer any assistance to such a huge endeavor of such! Is truly an honor to be part of a forum where knowledge is so immense and the developer continually advances to more greatness!!!!

# REPOMASTER - Auto build, repository management script
# Script via TheeMahn <[email protected]>
#
# This script will extract, build all debs in each subfolder
# as well as lintian each resulting deb recording any
# error result to a seperate log and move resulting deb
# to then .debs/ if no errors.  Eventually will not move
# any with warnings (does so now). The script will eventually fix all errors
# without human intervention. Who makes errors? Not computers.
# The scipt now implements -f or fix switch still not 100% and
# why you do not have it beyond copywrite.
#
# Beyond that, if that was not enough, will publish your repository online.
# It will GPG key sign your debs generate you a release file and dists,
# auto assign each prospective deb accordingly via architecture,
# rsyncing it to your server of choice. I wrote this program to lose a few
# of my jobs, so I can program & be more attentive to our forums.
#
# Future version varibles, do not trust the programmer.
# All we care about is compliance. (this feature is not implemented
# yet): Another 1 % of errors gone. The goal is 100% we are
# at about 90% off the rip. Just in permission rights.
# the below 3 line do nothing currently. Funny, what I use to build
# this program is this program.
#
#PACKAGE=(cat ultimate-edition-nautilus-scripts-1.7_all/DEBIAN/control|grep 'Package: ')
#PVERSION=(cat ultimate-edition-nautilus-scripts-1.7_all/DEBIAN/control|grep 'Version: ')
#PARCH=(cat ultimate-edition-nautilus-scripts-1.7_all/DEBIAN/control|grep 'Architecture: ')
#
# Eventually we will pipe the above info out in the following format
# mkdir $PACKAGE-$PVERSION_$PARCH/  I did not write the manual, however this
# software will write a manual for you & that is the tip of the iceburg.
#
# The largest task at hand currently is version control. I do not want to extract, nor
# build ultamatix-1.8.0-6_all.deb, ultamatix-1.8.0-7_all.deb, ultamatix-1.8.0-8_all.deb
# ultamatix-1.8.9_all.deb, ultamatix-1.9.0_all.deb, ultamatix-1.9.1_all.deb,
# ultamatix-1.9.2_all.deb, ultamatix-1.9.3_all.deb... Before we even extract and waste my
# time or yours. I want to delete all, but version 1.9.3. Completely opposite when I began
# this project. Clean it up in the end, was my mode of thinking. Perhaps a -s or --scan
# switch is evident. Natuarally with a prompt before we even begin constructing your
# repository. A thorn in my side as a Repository manager. The whole point in me writing
# it initially.
#
# A future version will impement a service to automatically fix / prompt you in any
# error and autofix prior to entering your system. Ultimately, a bulletproof O/S.
# Ultimate Edition will be the first on the planet to utilize this feature.
# I wonder why?  Who is writting it?  Does that mean Ubuntu is screwed or fall behind?
# No, no O/S left behind, however they will pay me. End user fret not.
#
# I will be paid, but not by you. Once you see the code I have written you will
# understand I deserve it ;)  Largest script I have ever seen by one guy. The
# Internet is large & I have them all.
#
# What started as a simple script, has became quite complicated.
#
# We begin - first we grab all subfolders.  If you do not wish to
# have a certain deb compiled or built please rename the folder begining
# with a period, which makes it hidden to this script.
#
# 12/25/2012: Service feature is implemented, howevever not bulletproof. Once set to stone
# I can take a minimal install a 50 mb download.  Install this program as a service
# and request a few gig of programs and they will roll into the O/S perfected.

I utilize the same program almost daily to build software. Speaking of which I rolled onto ubuntu forums learning pdf documentation handling to help a fella out and they raw shut down the thread. They hate me there BTW. The fella wanted to merge multiple pdf documents; I bring you:

Imagine this I have 5 posts there and a member since I think 2005. I had thousands. The interenet archive would bring that back to light. Pisses me off that they hate me so much to change my acct. Next time please just delete it I imagine Jane is pretty hot at me anyways. Mark and I have not had the chance to see Eye to Eye. Jane was the CFO at that time.

Would Canonical like to know how I feel? Fire Collin Watson. Programmer wow, a thorn. Want me to continue? Would you like to know why I say that? I could go on and on.

You ladies and gentlemen do not know what I refer to yet, but I am going to make it public information. I am being hired to allow you to check this box that box and select whatever program you want and have a server build your O/S and allow you to download your O/S. I have seen it. It fails as it is, however once repomaster is implemented failure is not an option. 10% of sales are mine. What is 10% of a billion? How many people reside on this planet?

Is even bigger than I thought!!! Originally, I thought RepoMaster was to take care of all Linux Repositories to insure debs were up to par and not outdated. Been there quite a few times with Linux! To knock out that alone is huge. Now as you bring this to light about also assembling custom made OS! I think that is bigger than Cable TV! I mean so many people out there needing an OS that don't dump every time they burn a disk or other small tasks. For me Ultimate cured that ASAP! Soon as is done will bet people be flocking to the store or online to get it done!

In the world we live in now, time always seems to be lacking and to be able to have an OS customized to your own needs is going to hit the top of the charts!!! Is awesome as am craving to see you get this recognition! The moment I loaded Ultimate up for the first time, I wanted to see that for you! Is a real shame and their loss to cut your account! I mean how do you think sites make money, right? Most time spent on sites is generally due to knowledge seekers as myself! Will guarantee they lost some major cash!!! Am on Verizon myself and know time spent on a site is cash out of my pocket and into theirs via the bill! Well worth it here as the information is invaluable along with everyone here!!!!

5 minutes here is worth more than a few years I spent with the other OS with all the commercials!!!!Support is pathetic over there as most people don't know what they are really talking about! Here they do! Am truly excited to be with an OS that knows what it is doing and is pushing forward past all the others. Not just stuck in the mud resting on its "Laurels" ! This is advancement and guarantee is another reason Linus is pushing these new kernels above and beyond also! Now that he knows there's a real developer out here(Guess who?) he is just as excited and getting them ready for you!!!! Absolutely love it!!! Is more exciting than watching movies and TV! Spend a lot less time these days with that! Linux is much more adventurous! Also is you along with this forum that inspires me to pursue more knowledge and understanding of the linux OS!!!!

I owe Ultimate a lot for all I have learned and the time it saves me, since all the programs work and all the time!!!! No searching for hours to find the program, just have to read a little and am good to go! Will always thank you for the greatest OS and forum have ever been on!!! Hope all is great for you on this Christmas day!!! Am sitting here now for a few hours waiting for 3.7.1 to compile into a deb! Is the first time doing that! Owe it all to everyone here! Got me going and I feel much more alive and happy than I ever have in my life!!!! Thanks always and always the best for everyone with Ultimate!!!!

Appreciate it.
