Hello !
usm -s bind shows 3 packages
how can i get the one in slackwarepatches
cause usm -g bind gives an only choice
I am a beginner in using usm (seems very interesting resolving dependences)
Second question : I'm using usm 3.0.7 (from porteus distro) ,
how can I upgrade to usm 3.08
(I thougt to download the 3.0.8. txz from sourceforge
and then installpkg ? or txz2xzm ? or another way
thanks

[brokenman]

usm -s bind is used to search for packages. It will search for the string in any order. For example: bind-0.3 or keybind-1.2 or anything-bind-more-1.2.3.

Once you use usm -s to search for the package you want use: usm -g keybind-1.2 to download it. usm -g searches for packages starting with the string.
For example: usm -g bind would find bind-1.2.3 or bindump-1.2.3 or bindage-1.2.3

So to download it you would type: usm -g bind-9.9.4_P2-x86_64-1_slack14.1.txz

To update, you are correct. Download the latest version and install it using: installpkg usm-3.0.8-noarch-1.txz

[bour59]

thx I had understood how to use usm
usm -g bind-9.9.4_P2-i486-1_slack14.1.txz says Nothig found for bind....
I'm looking for the 32 bits version
to avoid any finger error , the package name was copy/pasted
I will update to 3.0.8 using installpkg (txz2xzm does not recognize the .tgz as correct)

[brokenman]

usm -g bind-9.9.4_P2-i486-1_slack14.1.txz says Nothig found for bind

Ok thanks, I will check it out.

[bour59]

@brokenman
no problem with bind-9.9.4 after updating databases (usm -u)
will do this first if another error.
Sorry !

Please test the alpha of the gui for usm. It is very basic (not pretty yet) but has the functionality for getting packages and some porteus module tools. Please give feedback on the usability and aesthetics of the gui so i can improve it. Many parts simply call the CLI version and display an embedded terminal. I will change this for some parts such as updates but it will remain as an embedded terminal for the process of resolving dependencies.

The CLI and GUI will eventually be rewritten as one single script with optimized code.

You will require the CLI version to be in place before activating and running this module. Thanks.

"CLI and GUI will eventually be rewritten as one single script" Ewww, bad idea. Optimized code, yes.

[brokenman]

Ewww, bad idea.

Can you qualify this please? I've already started so now is the time speak up.

Part of optimizing the code IS creating one script. Both the CLI and GUI will call the same functions instead of having to write them twice. This makes internationalization much easier to as translators work less. Lastly it gives me one script to maintain instead of two. Please point out the cons, there are bound to be some i havn't thought of.

[bour59]

try this with gui :
search bind --> ok
download bind-9;9;4 and idnkit --> done
then I get ":" and a blinking cursor
have to clic Return button to continue testing

[brokenman]

This is the intended behavior. It simply opens a terminal and runs the CLI version to download the packages. Unfortunately I havn't found a way to return to the original screen once the terminal has finished it's job, hence the return button.

Do you think it is not very intuitive?

[bour59]

ok
I was very happy to have tried and understood the cli version before
thinks an option should be so that after downloading the call to create xzm be a following choice
rather to clic on tool button

[brokenman]

Thanks bour59, I will add a dialog to ask if modules should be created after download.
