USM Unified Slackware Package Manager

[francois]

porteus 3.0 final, I get following error message:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# usm -u all

Yeah there is a problem at the moment with the slacky mirror that is set as default. It is not responding. If you have the latest version of USM (i updated this morning) then you should now have 3 mirrors in this file:

/etc/usm/mirrors-slacky.txt

The first one # EUROPE should be uncommented as it is working fine. I also updated all the ISO's on the server so rebuilding an ISO should work. Unfortunately over 1000 builds were done before I could get the problem sorted.

slackwarepatches problem

Edit: I removed manually previous usm and works now.

Updating usm thru gui interface and then usm -u all resolved my problem. It is the first time that I see the gui interface. I like it: really sexy. The bare essentials are there.

[brokenman]

The bare essentials are there.

Thanks Francois. I will develop it slowly and surely and add more functionality. I want to focus on automating the generation of the databases so I don't have to worry about it. Then I can add slackware-current for the slackware users.

@brokenman: I do not want to look too demanding. But I kind of miss debian and fedora repositories. Why wouldn't you hide them in some kind of hidden section for advanced users only. In that section you could put a warning: no dependency resolution provided.

[Problem]
In JA locale, 'tool' selector are not done.

Maybe, other locale except C too are same.

[Reason]
the selection is done by the following code.

echo $CheckedString | grep "English character string".

The CheckedString that is a Japanese string is not matched with the English key.

[Fix]
1. The answer reported on 5 March (by neko » 05 Mar 2014, 13:41)
replaced by following code.

xxx_isYYY()
{
[[ $CheckedString = "Japanese character string" ]]
}

xxx_isYYY

-->

this code is pointed that it creates a new problem by brokenman (05 Mar 2014, 20:01).
(I do not know it.)

2. This is an easy correction.
These selection key sentences are not made multi-language until a bug is fixed.

@brokenman:
Follow-up from Porteus 3.0 final feedback thread:
http://forum.porteus.org/posting.php?mo ... 53&p=22704

I get the following message when I try to run usm gui (it has been updated and repo have been synchronized) :

Code: Select all

 Cannot execute command ' /usr/bin/usmgui'

Do you have anything in the folder /etc/usm ?

Nothing in that folder. I will upgrade as you proposed from sourceforge.

Thanks.

error

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# usm -s psx

awk: fatal: cannot open file `/var/usm/sbo/SLACKBUILDS.TXT' for reading (No such file or directory)
Nothing found for psx

[brokenman]

Thanks. Looks like I forgot to include sbo in the update list. I will have to add it to: usm -u all

For now just run: usm -u sbo to fix it.

[brokenman]

Added proxy support for CLI.

This has only only been added to the git tree while testing.
https://github.com/brokenman/usm

Code: Select all

git clone git://github.com/brokenman/usm
cd usm
make STRIP_COMMENTS=false install

hello
in /etc/usm/slackwarepatches.txt all "http or ftp" are commented
so the database is not downloaded
... very userfull package manager

[brokenman]

Thanks Bour. In fact there is one uncommented line (73). In any case the slackware patches URL is contained within the slackware database so this file is actually not used but I left it there for future use.

[brokenman]

The following updates have been made to github. It is not yet available under the update function of USM.

Added proxy support and support for resolving dependencies for a single package.
For proxy support just edit the config file.

Finding missing dependencies works like this:

Code: Select all

usm -d /var/log/packages/my-package
usm -d /tmp/my-package.txz
usm -d  ## This will show all missing system deps

usm-3.1.0-noarch-3.xzm
http://www.mediafire.com/download/extof ... arch-3.xzm
md5sum: a9a72c5ac94b4df4df367de28934ab1a usm-3.1.0-noarch-3.xzm

is inserted the routines that were dropped out.

By multi language, on the newest version tool selectors don't work.
So, this is a trial version.

Thanks.
