USM Unified Slackware Package Manager

[brokenman]

As the application is both for Porteus users and slackware users I intended to allow slackware-current for slackware users. Porteus users will need to stick to Porteus/Slackware version. Some slackware users run only slackware-current and want only packages from slackware-current. When changing versions the database would overwrite the existing one. So, users can choose one or the other but not mix both.

Repeating some previous comments. Keep that really good work. usm is a big improvement over ppm.

Thanks.

Hello Jay:
Francois I have added the option to open the storage folder (when in GUI mode) after downloading packages.

Trying to update usm, I get:

Code: Select all

You have the current usm version

Trying to download most up to date files thru git, I get:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# git clone https://github.com/brokenman/usm.git
fatal: destination path 'usm' already exists and is not an empty directory.
root@porteus:~# 

What did I caught wrong? (cognitive functioning after a certain age seems to become random)

Thanks.

[brokenman]

Once you have cloned the tree you just need to issue: git pull to get the latest files.

For example:

Code: Select all

cd /home/guest
git clone https://github.com/brokenman/usm.git

Two days later

Code: Select all

cd /home/guest
git pull

BTW I just added the option to merge multiple packages into one module (only for CLI so far). If multiple packages are sensed then it will ask if you want to merge them or create a separate folder for them. I will add the same function for GUI soon. These options are only available on Porteus installs, not slackware.

PS: cognitive functioning after a certain age does indeed seem .... I think I will get an ice cream.

Updated to 3.1.1

Please run: usm -u usm to get the latest version.

[francois]

Thanks a lot for all these additional features.

May you add a clean slackware packages after modules building (keep only the modules) setting?

[brokenman]

Thanks. Will add it to the next version.

@bour59
I apologize. I now see what you were saying about the slackwarepatches database not being updated. You are correct. I will fix this shortly.

This bug is like Lernaean Hydra! I chop off it's head and two grow back. Thanks again.

I got it back to work with the following as root:

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/brokenman/usm.git
cd usm
make install

Then updating usm gave the message that there was a newest version.

Is the usm -u sbo problem solved in the latest version? Or do we still have to usm -u sbo

I imagine that there might be a simpler way to deal with the problem. Should usm update include git out of the box in case of major problem?

[brokenman]

Easy ones first. I just fixed the SBO update in the latest git version. I also fixed a version check for the latest database version. Please 'git pull' for updates.
Not sure why you are having this problem with missing /usr/share/ file francois. I booted to fresh v2.1 and updated ok through USM.

I havn't addressed the bug above from slaxmax yet. I will need more time. Thanks.

[francois]

I imagine that must be some kind of save changes folder issue.

[tome]

For any searching I have:

Nothing was found in Slackware but i found this in slackbuilds.

. Any idea what is wrong? How to search alien, salix and so on?

[brokenman]

Tome I will assume you have updated the databases: usm -u all and then usm -u sbo

Can you give me an example of a package that isn't found?
