@brokenman:
I am working with kde 3.0 when I am on usm. I should have some testing in the following hours.

The error regarding SLACKBUILDS.TXT.gz is odd. It is working fine here. Did you try updating a second time? It could perhaps be that the file didn't download correctly, hence not being seen as a gzip file.

that would render most of the present PPM redundant.
You are correct in both respects. I was aiming at a broader slackware audience with this tool, and (once modified for porteus) it will render PPM redundant. This means devs will not need to maintain repositories and all packages can be converted client side.

My intention is to wait until this CLI version is stable and then write a front end for it. It would then replace the current PPM. PPM is bloated and the code is far from optimized. It was not easy to write and when i review the code now i understand why. At the time of writing i didn't have a broader picture of how it would work. In this situation you tend to tack on things to fix problems that you didn't foresee coming up. Hindsight is always 20/20 but i believe in rewriting it now, it would much leaner and cleaner.

If at all possible i would like to work with ViktorNova in getting the arch stuff to play nice with slackware which would open up another world of packages. I tried it with debian packages but found that dep resolution was below par. This may also be the case for arch which would be a shame since the priority is dependency resolution and simplicity so that packages work.

Question: Do you think GPG checks are necessary if the repositories are all well known and trusted?

How to skip a package? I tried installing VLC, but do not want to download the samba package.
I want to skip the samba package, but did not see option.

[brokenman]

Thanks slaxmax, good point. I wrote in a function to deselect dependencies into the system wide dependency resolver (usm -d) and will add this to the option when fetching general packages. I will push this into the next release. So after running: usm -g vlc and all dependencies are resolved you will be given the option to begin downloading or deselect some packages. Thanks for the feedback.

I don't know if I read well, I thought that usm would select by itself dependencies, but autoselect dependencies option could be nice thing. For audacity, only the audacity package would download:

If possible, it would be nice if unable to download a package, usm would fetch next package, and at the end provide a list of missing dependencies (those not downloaded) and provide the list of the original needed libraries and options (in case you had choosen the unavailable library)

This way I know where to find the readme file or install file for package or library resolution.

However, once the slackbuild has been downloaded, usm -rb would be a nice argument to build from the already downloaded file, instead of downloading it anew. What do you think?
