There must be a way to remove slacky from the code.
Hi francois
remove slacky from the DISTROS line:
DISTROS="slackware slackwarepatches salix alien ponce slackonly"
in /etc/usm/usm.conf
Code: Select all
root@porteus:/home/guest# usm -u all
Starting slackware database update
Downloading: vercheck.txt DONE
Downloading: CHECKSUMS.md5 DONE
Downloading: MANIFEST.bz2 DONE
Downloading: PACKAGES.TXT DONE

EDIT
Another way to circumvent the "gzip: /var/usm/slacky/CHECKSUMS.md5.gz: unexpected end of file" error:
a)Leave usm.conf as is
b)Downlosd that file from the slacky repo > extract it [[ e.g. with P7ZIP [the extracted file is readable in a text editor]]
> copy the CHECKSUMS.md5 file into the /var/usm/slacky folder.
Should work - not tested yet.
