@rkorell yes, i posted a warning early after he left to save what you could, without knowing the details of such work effort
-
@sdetweil Yes, indeed - we had a chat at these time as you might remember.
And here seems to be an opportunity to do “something” against this "bug"sounet thingi …
As @coernel suggested a re-upload could help (a little bit), so I considered this as a really good and nice idea.
But it went wrong - for unknown reasons the given copy is incomplete.So my suggestion to complete this ta - at least - have a working copy of an elder status …

@rkorell yeh, or forget it and move to a current module.
very troubling -
Thank you everyone, I’m sorry for opening this can of worms.
I’ve now got a Python script that runs at boot and does the job after destroying my MM installation trying to apply upgrades.

@sdetweil :-).
I like it very much because it offers a lot nice and fancy stuff as the others don’t …

@lif can you talk about this python after …
MagicMirror upgrades? if so , did you use my upgrade script?
this highlights a problem. some modules need a refresh install when nodejs and MagicMirror change
so the upgrade script does that. but that wipes the node_modules folder for the module. and the dependencies are also not available anymore.so, if i DO try the npm install it breaks, if i dont try the npm install it might break. fun times.
i will add a check for the authors url and skip the install action -
@rkorell i hear yah.

@sdetweil said in Bugsounet and MMM-Pir:
some modules need a refresh install
at least in bugsounet’s README.md there is a hint in this direction …
-
@rkorell yes, but there is nothing I can do… the dependencies no longer exist
he had some integrated update mechanism, I added code to launch that once…
now its dead too… -
@sdetweil OK.
really unfortunate.
I do not understand these dependencies - so I was hopeful that an update will not destroy module’s ability to work …So I have to stay with the old mirror version to keep module running?

Ralf
