Auto Rescan package for Synology users (formerly known as Auto Restart package)

[alegend]

Quote:Hi,

is there a specific reason for you not updating to the latest DSM? If not, I highly encourage you to do so. This may update your linux kernel and glibc, both essential for inotifytools. Moreover, the Auto Restart package depends on system binaries which may be outdated with DSM 3.2. If this turns out to solve one of the related problems, I will make the Auto Restart package dependency on the firmware version more restrictive.

Reasons:
1. DS411j has only 128mb memory and new builds then 3.2 use a lot more ressources then the old 3.2.
2. I currently have only the most critical things backed up on an external disk but i dont want to risk to lose the other stuff too :-9
3. It doenst give me any advantage...im happy with my 3.2, it has fast speeds in transfer (read about a lot of speed problems with 4.x)
4. NEVER TOUCH A RUNNING SYSTEM - most of the time Im good with that. I would put 4.x on it if I would have a 1:1 backup but i dont have one!
=> I gotta get it working under 3.2

Quote:The package installation relies on the bootstraps listed here. It is not possible for me to test all combinations of Synology models and firmware versions.
However, I'm glad you made the installation work and I'm interested in the reason for your installation problem. Unfortunately, the install-log containing the error is likely to be gone as you did a successful installation afterwards. So we have to investigate this by another way:

The installation procedure will basically do the following three steps:
1) Install ipkg using an appropriate bootstrapper
2) ipkg update, ipkg install gcc, ipkg install make
3) Download, compile and install inotify-tools

Which of these steps did you have to do manually? Please state the exact steps you made.
Do you remember the error message for which the Synology package center aborted the installation?
If you hat to do just step 2) the problem is likely to be due to an outdated version of the 'w g e t' binary which in turn may result from the old DSM version 3.2.

Of course I installed the right bootstrap for my syno :_ ) i got a lot of other things running very well....
The installation procedure returned the error "please try again later" or anything like this - "currently not possible....)
so i opened putty and did
ipkg install gcc
ipkg install make
but the curious thing was - after the ipkg installs the package was already there?!?
i didnt reinstall it was in the packages center!


ps: are you german?
