USM Unified Slackware Package Manager

Here is a place for your projects which are not officially supported by the Porteus Team. For example: your own kernel patched with extra features; desktops not included in the standard ISO like Gnome; base modules that are different than the standard ISO, etc...

I'm such a douche. I just manually cruised the folder and realized I copied the wrong slackware folder from my usb. (wish someone filmed my reaction)
The script is now running through the 64bit packages.
Hopefully will have both LIBS.TXT online in an hour or so.

You probably don't need it now but here is the output you requested:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/mnt/sda4/scripts# df -Th /mnt/sda4/var
Filesystem     Type  Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda4      ext4  423G   89G  313G  23% /mnt/sda4
Edit: LIBS.txt are generated and uploaded.

Awesome. Thanks very much.

I am going to push out one more minor version of USM with some bugfixes and small option changes, then a major release with the addition of your repo (I want to thoroughly test it before release). Can you please gzip the LIBS.TXT file on the server?

gzip /path/to/LIBS.TXT

NB: TXT is uppercase.

thx for the slackbuilds section (gambas3-3.5.3) since usm3.1.2
but don't solve the missing libldap.la in 05-devel
I know it's not a specific usm problem.

@bour
please install 'openldap-client' to resolve this.

btw: this site comes handy when you want to search for specific files inside of slackware packages (only official slackware repo):
http://packages.slackware.com/
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

Ran usm update to the latest version from usmgui and it did not install. It reverted to 3.1.1 because that version was still in /tmp/usm. I imagine it's looking for usm_latest and if an older version is there, it will be installed because the newest download is renamed to usm_latest-1

I think that the packages provided by the studioware site on multimedia: audio, video and photo, could be a great asset to porteus in particular and slackware in general. Could they be integrated to the usm database?

Thanks.

I've pondered this for a while. I prefer to have only major slackware repositories (5 is enough to maintain) for a number of reasons. The additions would be fantastic but after extensive testing I've found that many of the dependencies are not being resolved. This means I would need to go through and manually check the packages and add a manual dependencies list for them. Also if a repository goes down it will break the update system. This is bad planning on my part which will be fixed in a future release. Ultimately I am going for stability. I have too much to do and really want to automate and minimize any maintenance required.

I have a copy of USM here right now that includes Freestyler's repository (he has most of the studioware stuff) which I can make available to you if you want.

Adding a repository is not as easy as just putting the link to it as the standard for slackware repositories is not being followed by their respective maintainers.

New release v3.1.3

+-------------------------
Tue Jul 29 21:12:32 UTC 2014
Fixed merge modules name (thanks Ed_P)
Sent edit config GUI to background (thanks Bogomips)
Fixed system libs report malfunction (thanks Bogomips)
Added GUI option for no prompts

You can update through the update menu in USM (requires application restart afterwards)

Download package - http://sourceforge.net/projects/usm/fil ... z/download
Download module - http://sourceforge.net/projects/usm/fil ... m/download

Let's see if I haven't broken anything.
