Linux - ReadyNAS needs more programs
These are not available with apt-get install and not from the extra repositories I tested:
screen - needs to get patched or updated to the latest version that supports vertical window split.
tmux
showkey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oLqHjb_58k
bdiff - is supposed to diff large files over 4GB.
Someone also posted a request for:
CenterIM - http://www.centerim.org/index.php/Main_Page
If they are available for ReadyNAS sparc, please show how to add them.

- I installed screen on one ages ago, grabbed the .deb file from newer repo and 'dpkg -i' the file.
- Ok
I just tried to install tmux but I demanded a newer dpkg. Is it ok to update dpkg??# dpkg -i tmux_1.7-3_sparc.deb
dpkg: regarding tmux_1.7-3_sparc.deb containing tmux, pre-dependency problem:
tmux pre-depends on dpkg (>= 1.15.7.2)
dpkg is installed, but is version 1.14.26.
dpkg: error processing tmux_1.7-3_sparc.deb (--install):
pre-dependency problem - not installing tmux
Errors were encountered while processing:
tmux_1.7-3_sparc.deb - What other dependencies does it have? If just wanting a newer dpkg, and not other stuff, maybe try --force-all param also.
- Like this?
# dpkg -i --force-all tmux_1.7-3_sparc.deb
- Actually do a --help first, look at the --force-??? options. Just use the one for ignoring version compatibility and see where it gets you.
# dpkg --force-help
dpkg forcing options - control behaviour when problems found:
warn but continue: --force-<thing>,<thing>,...
stop with error: --refuse-<thing>,<thing>,... | --no-force-<thing>,...
Forcing things:
all [!] Set all force options
downgrade [*] Replace a package with a lower version
configure-any Configure any package which may help this one
hold Process incidental packages even when on hold
bad-path PATH is missing important programs, problems likely
not-root Try to (de)install things even when not root
overwrite Overwrite a file from one package with another
overwrite-diverted Overwrite a diverted file with an undiverted version
bad-verify Install a package even if it fails authenticity check
depends-version [!] Turn dependency version problems into warnings
depends [!] Turn all dependency problems into warnings
confnew [!] Always use the new config files, don't prompt
confold [!] Always use the old config files, don't prompt
confdef [!] Use the default option for new config files if one
is available, don't prompt. If no default can be found,
you will be prompted unless one of the confold or
confnew options is also given
confmiss [!] Always install missing config files
breaks [!] Install even if it would break another package
conflicts [!] Allow installation of conflicting packages
architecture [!] Process even packages with wrong architecture
overwrite-dir [!] Overwrite one package's directory with another's file
remove-reinstreq [!] Remove packages which require installation
remove-essential [!] Remove an essential package
WARNING - use of options marked [!] can seriously damage your installation.
Forcing options marked [*] are enabled by default.
:D- Try
# dpkg -i --force-depends-version tmux_1.7-3_sparc.deb
- No cigar
# dpkg -i --force-depends-version tmux_1.7-3_sparc.deb

tmux_1.7-3_sparc.deb - Another thing. Looks like showkey is included in another package. How do I install just some files from a deb-file?
# dpkg --contents kbd_1.15.3-9_sparc.deb | grep showkey
-rw-r--r-- root/root 1541 2012-04-29 11:16:59 ./usr/share/man/man1/showkey.1.gz
-rwxr-xr-x root/root 9820 2012-04-29 11:17:28 ./usr/bin/showkey
man-page http://cf.ccmr.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/w3mm ... key%281%29
or http://man.devl.cz/man/1/showkey - Try using dpkg-deb, -x I believe to extract it, point to / for path. It should basically unzip the deb file. If there are no installation scripts needed, your programs should mostly work that way too.
