[glestwid]

Hi,

Could somebody tell me how to use USM tool for installing GIT client on my Porteus?

Something like this help?

choose the one that fits your needs, enter it's number and press Enter. When done copy the xzm file in the /tmp folder to your Porteus's module folder and Activate it.

git is also included in the 05-devel.xzm ... which is handy if you want to clone a repo and compile something..
but if you just want git (for the many other things it does) : what Ed_P said^

Ok, I tried to add 05-devel.xzm but got these errors right at the start:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/slim: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version 'GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by /usr/lib/libslim.so.1.3.6) 
/usr/bin/slim: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version 'GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by /usr/bin/slim)

What am I doing wrong?

Moreover, I tried to execute "usm -g git", and it required me execute "usm -u all" upfront. But when I started "usm -u all" I got a weird error message after about 1 hour of running:

Code: Select all

gzip: /var/usm/salix/LIBS.TXT.gz: unexpected end of file
          

==============================================================================
WARNING!        WARNING!        WARNING!        WARNING!        WARNING!
==============================================================================
One or more errors occurred while usm was running:                       
 
FATAL ERROR!
usm update_database 309
Can't extract: LIBS.TXT.gz
 
============================================================================== 

What's wrong with it?

Hi

05-devel.xzm for port 3.2.2 x86 (check md5 sum)
33749e5edf506aa3bf805d46cff072ea 05-devel.xzm

USM error(s)

I use this download mirror,works, tested right now.

Code: Select all

/etc/usm/mirrors-salix.txt
http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/salix

If you still get the "LIBS.TXT" error, update one by one:
usm -u slackware
usm -u slackonly
.....etc

or remove salix (temporary) from this line in

Code: Select all

/etc/usm/usm.conf
DISTROS="slackware slackwarepatches slacky salix alien ponce slackonly"

and run usm -u all again.

I got a weird error message after about 1 hour of running:

You need to update your /etx/usm/mirrors*.txt files to locations closer to you. You can do that manually or run this sesm.sh script found here: [INFO & SCRIPT] Slackware Mirror Settings for USM
