USM Unified Slackware Package Manager

[freestyler]

I'm such a douche. I just manually cruised the folder and realized I copied the wrong slackware folder from my usb. (wish someone filmed my reaction)
The script is now running through the 64bit packages.
Hopefully will have both LIBS.TXT online in an hour or so.

You probably don't need it now but here is the output you requested:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/mnt/sda4/scripts# df -Th /mnt/sda4/var
Filesystem     Type  Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda4      ext4  423G   89G  313G  23% /mnt/sda4

Edit: LIBS.txt are generated and uploaded.

[brokenman]

Awesome. Thanks very much.

I am going to push out one more minor version of USM with some bugfixes and small option changes, then a major release with the addition of your repo (I want to thoroughly test it before release). Can you please gzip the LIBS.TXT file on the server?

gzip /path/to/LIBS.TXT

NB: TXT is uppercase.

[freestyler]

Sweet! Cheers for everything brokenman, I'll gzip it now.

Interesting additions include:

Automatic update check
Activated by default. Only checks for updates when user access internet (by selecting to download a file). It will only run once per USM session. You can turn it off in the Preferences.

End tags
Use the following arguments after all other arguments in CLI mode.
linksonly - Only shows linksand doesn't download files
noprompts - Doesn't ask too many questions
nodeps - Only downloads the chosen package

The next release will focus on adding freestyler's repository and perhaps improving slackbuilds section.

[bour59]

thx for the slackbuilds section (gambas3-3.5.3) since usm3.1.2
but don't solve the missing libldap.la in 05-devel
I know it's not a specific usm problem.

[fanthom]

@bour
please install 'openldap-client' to resolve this.

btw: this site comes handy when you want to search for specific files inside of slackware packages (only official slackware repo):
http://packages.slackware.com/

Ran usm update to the latest version from usmgui and it did not install. It reverted to 3.1.1 because that version was still in /tmp/usm. I imagine it's looking for usm_latest and if an older version is there, it will be installed because the newest download is renamed to usm_latest-1

[brokenman]

Thanks roadie. Will add check for older file and overwrite it.

[francois]

I think that the packages provided by the studioware site on multimedia: audio, video and photo, could be a great asset to porteus in particular and slackware in general. Could they be integrated to the usm database?

Thanks.

[brokenman]

I've pondered this for a while. I prefer to have only major slackware repositories (5 is enough to maintain) for a number of reasons. The additions would be fantastic but after extensive testing I've found that many of the dependencies are not being resolved. This means I would need to go through and manually check the packages and add a manual dependencies list for them. Also if a repository goes down it will break the update system. This is bad planning on my part which will be fixed in a future release. Ultimately I am going for stability. I have too much to do and really want to automate and minimize any maintenance required.

I have a copy of USM here right now that includes Freestyler's repository (he has most of the studioware stuff) which I can make available to you if you want.

Adding a repository is not as easy as just putting the link to it as the standard for slackware repositories is not being followed by their respective maintainers.

[francois]

I understand and support this clear and wise position of yours.

Thanks.

Let's see if I haven't broken anything.
