Download Station, Neue Version: 4.1.1-5008

[DaveR]

I have 59 packages. I've tried adding a user agent but it didn't help.

I'm running the original non-html script to debug and it stops as soon as is gets to a community package like AvrLogger or Changepanelsize.

I added some more exclusions:

readonly EXCLUSION='SynoOnlinePack_v2|AvrLogger|Changepanelsize'

As well as sleep 1 in the for PACKAGE loop and it's now showing more packages... until it gets to another community package. The script just needs skip packages that aren't available on the archive site (instead of aborting).

I also want to set ARCH programmatically from the Synology it is running on.[/CODE]

 

[Adama]

Ok, I have only Synology packages installed, never thought of community packages. Was just a quick and dirty solution for my own benefit.

Good idea with the architecture...

Was just a quick and dirty solution for my own benefit.

Aber eine gute, ich habe mir jedesmal gedacht, "Ein fleißiges Kerlchen" da es ja echt Aufwand ist das immer Manuell zu durchforsten. Davon bin ich bisher auch ausgegangen, zumindest, daß Du diverse Apps regelmäßig verfolgst.
Tja nun ist vorbei mit dem heimlichen anhimmeln , aber das opening Deines Scripts macht alles wieder weg. Eine Feine Sache

 

[Adama]

Danke für die Blumen, aber ich bin auch nur eine faule Sau...

 

[Benie]

Bin dafür, das gute Dinge auch gewürdigt werden müssen, gemeckert wird ja sehr oft genug.

 

[DaveR]

I've added skipping community packages to the non-html script and the html script.

The non-html version is working perfectly.



But the html script is still not right.

 

[DaveR]

Getting the arch programmatically

ARCH1="$(uname -m)"
ARCH2="$(uname -a | awk '{print $NF}' | cut -d"_" -f2)"
ARCH="${ARCH1}|${ARCH2}"

 

[DaveR]

Hmm, when I save the MESSAGES array to a html file it displays correctly in chrome. So it must just be something my antique email client (Windows Live Mail) doesn't support.

 

[DaveR]

I got the html version working for me. I had to save the MESSAGE array to a file then send the file as the email body. I also changed it to get the CPU arch and DSM email language from DSM.

antique email client

I'm using Thunderbird. Checked also the source code, the code were correct.

 

[Adama]

I've added skipping community packages to the non-html script and the html script.

Maybe there is a method to get the package sources. synopkg doesn't show it...

 

[luddi]

This is how my html report looks like from the attached file.
GitHub - synopkg-update-checker

 

[DaveR]

Synology commands do sometimes have undocumented options, but I don't know if synopkg does. Package center knows which packages are community packages so I'll have a look for how it does it.

I just create an array of packages available on the archive site. Then skip any installed packages that aren't in the array.

mapfile -t ONLINE_PKGS < <(curl "$CURL_OPTS" -A "$USER_AGENT" https://archive.synology.com/download/Package/ | grep href | cut -d">" -f2 | cut -d"<" -f1)
...
    if [[ ${ONLINE_PKGS[*]} =~ $PACKAGE ]]; then
...
   fi

I've also changed it to show the package's "display name" instead of "package", like Advanced Media Extensions instead of CodecPack, SAN Manager instead of ScsiTarget, Replication Service instead of SnapshotReplication etc.

    PACKAGE_NAME="$(synogetkeyvalue "/var/packages/${PACKAGE}/INFO" displayname)"
    if [[ -z "$PACKAGE_NAME" ]]; then PACKAGE_NAME="$PACKAGE"; fi
...
printf "%-30s %-15s %-15s %-8s\n" " $PACKAGE_NAME" "| $INSTALLED" "| $VERSION" "| $UPDATE"

 

[DaveR]

the code were correct.

Yes it was.

To get it work for my email client I just replaced <tr class="upd"> with <tr> then added <b> and </b> before and after $PACKAGE, $INSTALLED and $VERSION

After that the email body was displayed correctly in my email client... but still cutting it off after a certain number of characters. Which is why I switched to sending a file as the email body.

 

[DaveR]

@luddi Does the --community option work and provide download links?

I was going to make the @Adama script show the Package, Installed, Downloadable and Version text in whichever language DSM is set to. Your script has a 16 phrases or words that would need translating, so 4 times the work.

 

[luddi]

Maybe there is a method to get the package sources. synopkg doesn't show it...

Yes there is. I have identified how to distinguish between the package sources.

You can get use the key value "maintainer" from the INFO file of each installed package.

synogetkeyvalue /var/packages/<package_name>/INFO maintainer

Example:
$synogetkeyvalue /var/packages/TextEditor/INFO maintainer
Synology Inc.

$synogetkeyvalue /var/packages/git/INFO maintainer
SynoCommunity

 

[Adama]

This is how my html report looks like from the attached file.

Mein Gott, ihr habt ja so ziemlich alles installiert...

 

[DaveR]

I thought of checking "maintainer" in the INFO file but there are 17 contributor packages that are not maintained by Synology but are available on the archive site like maintainer_url="https://www.plex.tv"

From the packages I have installed that are available on the archive site 9 are not maintained by Synology:

I see the INFO file for Perl also contains:

maintainer="Perl.org"
maintainer_url="http://www.perl.org/"
distributor="Synology Inc."
distributor_url="http://www.synology.com/

But Synology's own packages only contain:

maintainer="Synology Inc."

So we'd need to check if maintainer = synology or distributor = synology then it will (should) be available on the archive site.

 

[DaveR]

I have a lot packages installed just for checking that my scripts work. Half of them are not running.

When I was developing syno_app_mover my poor little DS720+ with only 2GB of memory had 80 packages installed.

 

[luddi]

Therefore I have an option implemented to consider only running applications.

-r, --running       Check updates only for packages that are currently running

[...] checking "maintainer" in the INFO file but there are 17 contributor packages that are not maintained by Synology but [...]

Indeed you are totally right.

The idea must:

1. Uses the distributor field instead of maintainer from the INFO file to determine package source
2. Fall back to maintainer if no distributor field exists (for official Synology packages)

Whit this logic, also your package plex should be indicated that it is distributed by Synology.

As an example

Does the --community option work and provide download links?

I am working currently on it to remove the community option. But from my tests it should provide the correct links from the community.
