Dependencies Resolver
Posted: 31 Dec 2015, 20:11
This is an intelligence driven procedure, which just replaces what you would do manually if going through pkgs.org. The procedure is verbose, in that it provides a running commentary, which should be familiar to anyone who has tried to find dependencies in pkgs.org.
The Resolver works by analysing the Documentation in 'pkgs.org'. Does not work well for Slackware, due to inadequate documentation in pkgs.org, and USM should in any case be used there. Should the Resolver come across a dependency available as Slackware Package, there will be a prompt to run USM. Unless there is good reason not to, this option should be taken if the package is available as 14.1 version. (AFAIK usm does not work with earlier versions) The option for Activating the resultant Module should also be taken.

- In the README there is mention of providing a user agent for wget. Try first without this, and see if it works (i.e. wget does not error out).
- Upon activation of the resolver module, a dialog will open to set up a working directory to which the module scripts will be copied.
- Once activation is finished with, the module should be deactivated, in order to remove the temporary filesystem used.
- The README can at any time be displayed through the invocation of XREADME in the working directory
Code: Select all
