• INSTALLING PRE-LINKED LINUX POPLOG V15.65:2015-10-14

    I'm trying to recover/renew my access to poplog - since V15.53

    Re.
    INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING PRE-LINKED LINUX POPLOG V15.65.
    NEW (14 Oct 2015).
    my understanding was that.

    Each script first installs a collection of linux library packages
    required for poplog to run, then fetches a new (fetch-and-install)
    script from here,
    which can then be run to download and install poplog.

    It's worse than that:.
    -/latest-poplog/get-prelinked-ubuntu-poplog
    has got `wget` and even `apt-get` !
    Which means that poplog depends on the Debian <remote system> ?

    My logic and experience is that rather than hoping for a
    DoA, DoB ... overall success: rather provide the new user a
    progressive set of confirmation-sequences.
    Ie. test/confirm <sequence 1>, test/confirm <sequence 1b>,...

    This approach relates to the advantage of functional/piping:
    for an N-stage program, when the output at stage N-5 is OK,
    the user need ONLY be concerned with the input & action of stage N-4.

    AFAICS the various scripts <attempting to make V15.65 usable>,
    output <traces> to the terminal. This is of little use to the new-user.
    Traces should go to logFiles.

    My 32bit Debian7's DirTree /usr/local/poplog looks like:--

    | | +- poplog..................
    | | | +- Jul18................
    | | | +- local................

    Let's revive poplog, and not lose its valuable capabilities.

    PS. users of poplog will not be F/B, twitter kiddies who want:
    DoA, DoB ...; they need:
    <StageN is confirmed by Nx,
    StageN+1 is confirmed by (N+1)x ...>
