BL - Ceni

Hi all,

After reading about Ceni on another thread here i decided to do a manual install on my alpine linux partition, everything is working fine after a few perl modules needed installing and 2 other packages ncurses-dev and perl-dev. Just to note again that the program is working fine so im not asking for help getting it going rather im getting an warning message as per below code snippet. I dont know much about perl or how to correct that unescaped left brace, would anyone being able to help? Ive used the bunsenlabs github fork of ceni here https://github.com/BunsenLabs/ceni

Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.32), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^\s+([A-Z]+({ <-- HERE (.+)})?)=="([^"]+)"$/ at /usr/local/share/perl5/site_perl/Ceni/Backend.pm line 67.
Ceni requires root priviledges! Be careful!
Password:  

In /usr/local/share/perl5/site_perl/Ceni/Backend.pm line 67. Not sure what needs to be modified. Not that it really matter i dont suppose until perl reaches 5.32

 61                 open my $udevinfo, '-|', "$udevinfo_cmd -a -p " . $i{$if}{'sysfs'}
 62                         or carp "E: could not execute $udevinfo_cmd -a -p "
 63                         . $i{$if}{'sysfs'} . ": $!";
 64                 while (<$udevinfo>) {
 65                         chomp;
 66                         $self->debug($_);
 67                         if (m/^\s+([A-Z]+({(.+)})?)=="([^"]+)"$/) {
 68                                 $3 ? $i{$if}{ lc $3 } ||= $4 : $i{$if}{ lc $1 } ||= $4;
 69                                 # ssb first KERNELS is useless to us, we want the second
 70                                 ($1 eq 'KERNELS')&&($4=~/^ssb/)&&(delete($i{$if}{'kernels'}));
 71                         }
 72                 }
 73                 close $udevinfo;

Re: BL - Ceni

Thanks, that removed the warning.

Ive installed most needed parts for ceni to work via cpanm, the only alpine packages were perl-dev and ncurses-dev. Will see what happens over the long term, in any case i have a wpa_supplicant as fallback if things get messy.

The bl-ceni seems to work fine for what i need even if out of date, does what it is supposed to do anyhow.

Thanks again.

Re: BL - Ceni

Would been cool if someone managed to add IPv6 support to Ceni...then it be a truly useful tool.

Re: BL - Ceni

Actually, siduction may not be the upstream, but I can't find the actual upstream repository right now.

I think Devil and towo are the maintainers of the siduction package, and can be considered current upstream. The whole siduction-specific repo (their custom packages) is forked from the aptosid-specific one, and they were both aptosid developers (Devil was at least a forum admin, and towo had his own repository that siduction was using) at the time of that distro's split-up.

That said, apparently siduction has archived ceni...

Ceni removed

We have removed Ceni (for setting up /etc/network/interfaces/) from all flavours but noX and Xorg. It interfers with Network-Manager and speaks only IPv4. Besides that it is easy enough to get a dhcp lease with dhclient, if you have a network cable at hand. You can still find Ceni in the archive, should you want to install it.
