ytene Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Suggestion: Migration Towards a Debian-Like Package Management System OK, for all those reading this who are not reasonably technically aware Linux users, I apologize. This will be a stretch - but please stick with me. There is today a fabulous contrast in efficiency between Microsoft's patching model for Windows (which is awful) and the Linux patching model, as implemented by Linux versions based upon the Debian distribution. With Windows, each time I build (or rebuild) a new machine, I am required to re-patch my system from scratch, unless I have something quite exotic (like ipFire) on my local network. With Linux, however, I can do something very different. Packages are downloaded into a disk cache area before being applied, and each package comes with a set of dependency descriptors built in. Thus, if I download a package that needs something else, my machine will *automatically* fetch and install everything I need in one go. But more than that, the fact that all the packages I use are cached locally means that I can take a copy of that cache for archive purposes. I can copy the cache from one installed machine to another (or in my case just map a network share). It means that I can create a new build and patch in seconds, without having to re-download hundreds of Mb of data... You get where I'm going, right? Would it be possible to tweak the implementation of NMM - borrowing directly from Linux Package Management code - so that we could have an environment where we can cache packages locally please? That way, if ever I want or need to re-install Skyrim, I can very, very quickly re-apply all my favourite patches because I retained copies of them... In the Linux world, "apt-get update" refreshes the package index, identifying any newly upgraded packages I may need"apt-get upgrade" then downloads the packages, caches them, and applies them. When I go to a second machine and repeat the above commands, I do not have to "re-download" anything previously fetched. It saves me masses amount of bandwidth and it's *lots* faster... I do appreciate that this could require architecture changes under the hood, but I truly believe it's a great feature to have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 @ytene; Not sure who/what are you addressing here... If you're talking about the Nexus sites in general (which is where you posted) then you should send your suggestions to Inversion Power, authors of the software, "I.P. Boards", that runs these sites. If you're talking about the Nexus Mod Manager (NMM), there's a whole different forum devoted to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Garon Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 What can cause a forum thread to appear with a red "overlay" and deliver a "You don't have permission to access this" message? From my login name dropdown box, I selected "My Content" and the thread list came up. One of the threads I had previously posted in (1000's of haelgas) had a red tint and when I clicked on it, got a "You don't have permission to access..." screen. I'm sure this is a noob question, but I searched the help files and several topics for "permission denied", "red message", even just "red" and did not find anything useful. I'm wondering if it was my fault; I was in the middle of a post when a visitor showed up and I was away from the KB for some time with the editor active. I just want to see how the thread OP solved his problem. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bben46 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Normally hidden posts are in red - that is to indicate only the staff, and depending on where the post is, maybe the author, are supposed to be able to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Garon Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 ^^Thank you, Mr. 46. Rats, I guess the OP hid it. Was a pretty entertaining problem and we'll never know how he/she fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
