slpkg for porteus 5.01: getting it to work.

[inukaze]

Slpkg versions :

Resolve depencies for slpkg => 3.7.1

Code: Select all

slackpkg install python3 python-urllib3 python-setuptools

You can install 3.9.9

Code: Select all

wget -c https://sourceforge.net/projects/slpkg/files/binary/slpkg-3.9.9-x86_64-1_dsw.txz/download -O slpkg-3.9.9-x86_64-1_dsw.txz ; installpkg slpkg-3.9.9-x86_64-1_dsw.txz ; ldconfig

From the version 3.7.1 python3 are required :

Code: Select all

export SLPKG='slpkg-3.7.1-x86_64-1_dsw.txz'
wget -c https://sourceforge.net/projects/slpkg/files/binary/"$SLPKG"/download -O "$SLPKG"
installpkg "$SLPKG"
ldconfig

If you see an error like :

no module named slpkg
no module named pydoc

Reinstall python3 and re-run slpkg update:

Code: Select all

wget http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-15.0/patches/packages/python3-3.9.18-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz
upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new python3-3.9.18-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz
slpkg update

But if you want the old version using python2 you can use slpkg v3.4.3

Code: Select all

export SLPKG='slpkg-3.4.3-x86_64-1_dsw.txz' ; wget -c https://sourceforge.net/projects/slpkg/files/binary/"$SLPKG"/download -O "$SLPKG" ; installpkg "$SLPKG" ; ldconfig
slackpkg install python2 python2-module-collection
slpkg update
slpkg -s sbo python2-pythondialog

Well in this moment i can't connect to "sbo" server from Venezuela :'(

If you see an error like :

no module named slpkg
no module named pydoc

Reinstall python3 and re-run slpkg update:

Code: Select all

wget http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-15.0/patches/packages/python3-3.9.18-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz
upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new python3-3.9.18-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz
slpkg update

Should not a dependency module for slpkg-3.9.9-x86_64 be sufficient?
One that got only the bare minimum of files extracted from python3-3.9.18-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz ?

But if you want the old version using python2 you can use slpkg v3.4.3

Porteus 5.01 uses python3. And the thread title states slpkg for porteus 5.01: getting it to work. Did anyone really exchange Porteus 5.01's python3 with python2?

I have both python and python3 on my computer. I do not really know how to make python3 the version to be used. Would this be a good thing?

What is your non python3 python? Is it python2?

Would this be a good thing?

When all works as it should with all your python scripts: "Never change a running system."

Some python scripts will not look / ask for python but specifically for python3. Could be that this is the reason you not seem to encounter any issues.

The Python script I found online seems to be content with any python version: (searched my scripts in /usr/local/bin via "grep python *" )

Code: Select all

cleanup_sessionstore.py:#! /usr/bin/env python

while pview and some others demand python3:

Code: Select all

pview:#!/bin/env python3

From memory building PDF4QT or anki was asking for python3. Standard on porteus is python 2.xx.

Thanks for the info. Good knowledge.

Not true, at least not for Porteus 5.01 :

Code: Select all

root@rava:/# file /usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/python: symbolic link to /usr/bin/python3

Do you run Porteus 5.01 or 5.0 or 4.0?
