You don't have to duplicate MIDI functions.lua yourself. There can be only one master copy of it on the repository and ReaPack installs it (the version of it at the time of the package's release) under a different name of your choice to avoid conflicts. For example, if:

Package A v1 -> requires Functions.lua @ 2016-11-12
Package A v2 -> requires Functions.lua @ 2017-12-14
Package B v1 -> requires Functions.lua @ 2016-11-12
Package B v2 -> requires Functions.lua @ 2017-12-15

A user may decide to install Package A v1 and Package B v2. In such a case, ReaPack wouldn't know which version of Functions.lua to use and one or the other package would be potentially broken!
That's why Package A and Package B cannot both claim ownership of Functions.lua at the same time (in this case ReaPack refuses to install Package B until Package A is uninstalled or vice versa).

Having a dependency be a package of its own is unsafe because it is not guaranteed to be installed alongside the scripts that needs it. It can also be updated or downgraded independently of the scripts that may or may not need a specific version to work. This is not ideal.

As a sidenote, coming from Windows I also was a bit confused about packages / package manager when I encountered these terms first with ReaPack. I think it's much more common on the Linux side but not so much on the Windows side (afaik).

Is the ReaPackArchive format documented anywhere? It'd be nice to offer this as an install option for Reaticulate. It looks relatively straightforward if I had to reverse engineer it, but all the better if the format is documented.

If it's not, could you clarify what the numbers indicate at the end of the REPO and PACK lines in the toc file? This was the only non-obvious thing so far.

Thanks!

Default Does Reapack work with Reaper running on Wine with Linux (Ubuntu 16.04)

Hello, I hope I am asking this in the right place. I am new to Reaper and so far it's awesome.

As the title says, I am running Reaper with Wine on Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit. When I try to use the 'reaper_reapack64.dll' it aborts with an error message. The 'reaper_reapack64.so' doesn't do anything, so I'm figuring that is for the Native Linux version of Reaper(?).

At any rate, I am wondering if Reapack should work with Reaper and Wine.

I have been looking around but haven't seen any answer to this.

Any information either way would be greatly appreciated.

What is the error message? Which version of Wine? The .dll requires Wine 1.8 or newer.

The .so is indeed for native Linux REAPER.

Oh, thank you so much for that, I must have missed that if it was in the docs.

What is the lastest recommended version? I see they are up to version 2. Is that stable for reapack and reaper or should I do 1.8.5?

Thanks once again in advance.

Ok, I went ahead and installed Wine 2.10. Everything seems to be working fine!

Thank you very much for the help!

Did you recently update ReaPack and you're saying this is a regression in the software?

Because ReaPack itself isn't responsible for all the individual repositories. It just provides a means of accessing and managing them.

Please post your OS version and Reapack + REAPER version to help debbuging.

Seems more like a network issue as ALL repo break.

Are you always connected the same way to the same network? Are the REAPER and SWS auto-update features still working when ReaPack isn't?

Yes.. I am always connected to the same network the same way. And no.. I don't have auto updates turned on. I use pre-releasea. So I check the forums regularly and update.

Nice, this narrows down the possible causes a bit. I assume SWS's one works too?

Can you try the following URLs in ReaPack > Import repositories? Just to see which ones fail with a connection timeout error. If it works you will get "The received file is invalid: Error reading end tag." (or Attributes), that's normal.

Very odd! Did you try them one at a time? (If not, do that instead)

There should be no differences between import and synchronize in that regard. Does it work if you do Refresh from Manage repositories (right click on a repository)? Can you still install things from Browse packages?

OK... Try importing a real repository URL. What does it say?

Code:
https://github.com/cfillion/reapack/raw/master/index.xml?test
Just how frequent is this? When does it usually work and when does the "Connection timed out" come back? Do you have another computer to test on?

What about on a fresh portable install? With no other plugins, no opened project, on the system drive, default configuration. Just install ReaPack on the second startup and synchronize.

You can fix these errors be uninstalling the corresponding obsolete packages in ReaPack > Browse packages.

I'm not sure when it started but I get this Error message when I try to synchronize ReaPack:



Is this something on my end or something with ReaPack?

I don't know why it's happening on your system (and I don't have macOS 10.13 for testing) but I might have a fix for it. Please try this build: https://cfillion.ca/files/reapack/v1.2.1%2Bno_cainfo/.

If it does *not* help: 1) Do you have a proxy set in Manage repositories > Network settings? 2) Disable "Verify authenticity of TLS/SSL certificates" in the same dialog as a workaround.

Thanks. That build you linked me to seems to have cleared up the issue.

Also, this is kind of random and nitpicky but on my old iMac, ReaPack was the first thing listed in the Extensions menu which made it easy to Re-Sync.

When I set up my new iMac, ReaPack is now at the bottom.

FWIW, I imported my old iMac Config to the new one.

Is there an easy way to get ReaPack back to the top of the Extensions menu?

Screen shot attached:

This problem is still not sorted for me. It works sometimes and it doesnt most of the time. Today when I tried it didnt work. So I clicked Help/Check for new versions of reaper. I got a message saying "There was an error checking for the latest version
is an internet connection present?!" But I have internet connection in my computer. I dont have any proxies set up. Can you pls help ?

At least this means ReaPack is not at fault because REAPER itself can't connect either. Progress! Do you have a firewall? A VPN? It would be very useful to find what changes between when it works and when it doesn't. (Your issue is unrelated to MRMJP's one above.)

Default Get script description/About in Action List?

Would it be possible to have in the Action List, the same option of right-clicking a script and get it's description ('About') as it is in Reapack?
Because I guess as most here, we just update Reapack regularly with all the latest scripts/updates and from then on, just grab them from the Action list so...it would make sense.

Hi Christian, two small issues:

1) I just searched for "Poly Splitter" (and "PolySplitter") but was not pointed to the ReaRak package.

IMHO it would be appropriate to include the "desc:" (etc) string of all sub-files in a multi-file package in the search list.

Alternatively you could also ask the providers of multi-file packages to mention theses strings in the "about:" section of the main file.

2) I still would love to see MidiToReaControlPath in ReaPack.
I did not follow the discussions here closely, recently, so I'd like to re-trigger.

You once said, that ReaPack can't provide VSTs, as there is no always usable directory for those. But AFAIK, now - with VST3 support -, exactly this does exist in the newer Reaper versions.

Unrelated to this, I'd like to do a description of MidiToReaControlPath to be seen in ReaPcak (that at least would provide just a download-link, as long as automatic installing is not possible.) How to do this in a decent way ? (It's not a JSFX nor a script, and trying to install it should be inhibited.)

-Michael

I keep requesting a similar "script help" function for installed JSFX effects since long.

But to have this working in a decent way I suppose ReaPack would need to be included (or dedicatedly supported) by Reaper itself (which I also keep requesting since long).

In fact such a Help functionality should work for installed scripts, even if the holding package is not loaded in the ReaPack from a GIT.

Hi,
Since reapack is not available for xp users and some scripts seem to be only available thru reapack, is there a way I could use my win 7 boot to DL scripts via reapack and then manually move the folders/files to my xp reaper install?
Thanks

Has there been FR for "favorite" scripts install? Something for example like ninite.com :
Export all selected scripts to a file which will cointain url or whatever of the scripts then when loading/importing that file into ReaPack it would download them all
