Porteus

what is this?

Thanks slaxmax, I have corrected this bug when all deps are resolved and the report file does not exist.

Francois I have added the option to open the storage folder (when in GUI mode) after downloading packages.

Freestyler I will add merge of module to the module tools. This is easier since I can't tell which modules should be merged in the case that someone uses a single download folder for all packages and doesn't delete old stuff. The module tool will allow one to choose which modules they want to merge into one.

Bour I will certainly add slackware-current to USM but i wanted to test it on 14.1 first. Adding slackware-current will increase the slackware user base "10 fold" and I want it to be stable before then.

All the above changes have been added to the github only. Once i add the 'module merge' i will push another version to sourceforge as an official release. To get the updates go into the folder where you first cloned the git repository (above thread) and issue: git pull which will pull all the latest updates. Then make install to install the new files from the source code. If you are asked about overwriting a man file just say yes. This is a slackware file no harm done overwriting in in Porteus.

Thanks very much for road testing this guys. You are all great.

love your work brokenman

certainly add slackware-current to USM but i wanted to test it on 14.1
sooner or later you'll get breakage (depends how far Pat goes with libs bumping) . bad idea to include -current.

Hi!
I thought
/slackware gave tested packages (base)
/currentpatches gave packages to be tested (more accurate)
/current gave packages tested to suit the version of slackware after tested in patches
pls add a warning in packages (patches and current) but add
thanks

slackware patches is ok as is compiled on stable release.
-current is a 'pre' new release so things must break at some stage.

ok
I made my proposal based on bind package
which was 9.9.3 in slackware base
then 9.9.4 in testing (runs also)
and is now in current at 9.9.4 (runs always)
sure I can't create a general rule from this tests!
thanks to let me very prudent (as always)
but, let propose current with WARNINGS

As the application is both for Porteus users and slackware users I intended to allow slackware-current for slackware users. Porteus users will need to stick to Porteus/Slackware version. Some slackware users run only slackware-current and want only packages from slackware-current. When changing versions the database would overwrite the existing one. So, users can choose one or the other but not mix both.

Repeating some previous comments. Keep that really good work. usm is a big improvement over ppm.

Thanks.

Hello Jay:
Francois I have added the option to open the storage folder (when in GUI mode) after downloading packages.

Trying to update usm, I get: Trying to download most up to date files thru git, I get: What did I caught wrong? (cognitive functioning after a certain age seems to become random)

Thanks.

Once you have cloned the tree you just need to issue: git pull to get the latest files.

For example:
Two days later
BTW I just added the option to merge multiple packages into one module (only for CLI so far). If multiple packages are sensed then it will ask if you want to merge them or create a separate folder for them. I will add the same function for GUI soon. These options are only available on Porteus installs, not slackware.

PS: cognitive functioning after a certain age does indeed seem .... I think I will get an ice cream.

Updated to 3.1.1

Please run: usm -u usm to get the latest version.

Thanks a lot for all these additional features.

May you add a clean slackware packages after modules building (keep only the modules) setting?

Thanks. Will add it to the next version.

I apologize. I now see what you were saying about the slackwarepatches database not being updated. You are correct. I will fix this shortly.
