guest@porteus:~$ After USM had been written, some smart alec would have mentioned that there is already a program doing all USM does, and taken great pleasure in providing a link to slackyd (@francois schadenfreude). AFAIK this has not happened. So rest assured USM is not redundant. 8)brokenman wrote:like to know if it resolves dependencies for ALL repositories now. For example if I choose a package from slackonly will it resolve dependencies and give you options from all five repos? If this is the case then USM could be considered redundant (apart from the fact that it has a GUI).
No, It was written as an alternative to slackpkg from what I remember and is used in managing files in a slackware distro by installing, removing, and upgrading packages. I use slackpkg so I have not had a lot of experience with other features or how to configure."can it convert to .xzm (txz2xzm) or does it use only .txz"
