preliminary testing shows that it should work with slapt-mod(slapt-get) by adding in /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc eg. :
Code: Select all
# slackdce
SOURCE=https://slackware.halpanet.org/slackdce/packages/15.0/x86_64/
except, that when i tried to download a package, it failed because it tried to source it from http://slackdce.theworkpc.com/mirrors/p ... 5.0/x86_64 ..which as you say appears to be offline atm..
seems like a bug though, i would think it should be sourcing the package from the configured mirror (https://slackware.halpanet.org)
for pmod(slackpkg) add to /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf eg.:
Code: Select all
# slackdce

We use iceccd (ICECC daemon) to speed up compilation.
It's a distributed compiler system that allows sharing CPU power over the network.
Each computer receives a small part of the compilation job, processes it, and sends the result back.
This helps reduce build times by using multiple machines together.

ok, tested with pmod/slackpkg, it works with that^ config, without any workarounds.ncmprhnsbl wrote: ↑18 May 2025, 08:24for pmod(slackpkg) add to /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf eg.:untested.. my VM ran out of room while updating the database :pCode: Select all

so, i would say the issue with the PACKAGE MIRROR: line the PACKAGES.TXT is specific to slapt-get..
just looking at other repos, eg. slackware and salix on various mirrors, they don't even have that PACKAGE MIRROR: line ...

hi ncmprhnsbl, with gslapt we can manage the repository,i have done a try with porteux stable slapt-mod work well with slackware 15 but not with the slackdce, slapt-mod give the search name but not dowload it,PS: for porteux is a bit tricky to work with slapt-mod, we have to add some deps,ok just for the record

hi beny, with the workaround above: Two new repositories (Post by ncmprhnsbl #102896) downloading will work.
i would expect if your setup has a fully functioning ipv6, slackdce.theworkpc.com/mirrors/slackdce/packages/15.0/x86_64/ would be fine too.

this would be because you have ipv6 fully functional on your setup/connection.
my point is though, if i have one mirror configured(halpanet.org), it shouldn't be getting the package from another(slackdce.theworkpc.com)
