USM Unified Slackware Package Manager

[brokenman]

Thanks Tome, I will add the -L switch to find so if someone uses a symlink it will follow the link.

Fresh mode is OK but you will need to make a module from the database files and leave it in the modules folder.

[tome]

@beny It is not fresh mode correctly - I don't use changes cheatcode but data can be saved by activating module that contains links to writable folder - it has few advantages over changes.

I tried to make a simple GUI for usm.
Thanks.

i have stripped the xzm for me more useful but not work yet

[brokenman]

Fantastic! I am so happy other people are using gtkdialog now.

I have a basic GUI for usm which only searches for and downloads packages. I will take a look at your version tomorrow and see how we can use it.

@beny

I can not understand what happens.
I searched the site
http://puppylinux.info/topic/swatch-int ... ons/page/2
that has the same error message
"** ERROR **: gtkdialog: Error in line 17, near token 'string': syntax error".

If you fix this problem, I expect that you will report on other thread about a problem.

Excuse me for my poor skill.


@brokenman
>>I have a basic GUI for usm

Would you open your basic GUI ?
I would like to study your code.

[brokenman]

You can download what I have so far here. It only has basic functionality at the moment. Only search for packages (not download yet). You will need all files from the CLI version and use these in addition. You must also run: usm -u all in the CLI before running this GUI.

Next bug - try search or download spacefm on Porteus 3.0 - problem with Salix repository - Slackware 14.0 instead of 14.1 that doesn't contain spacefm package.

@brokenman

Thank you for your kindness.
I study your code now.
Especially I am interested on how to use 'gtkdialog'.

I have an experience on developing by C language.
But I do not have one by script languages.

I am enjoy to write a script source.

Thanks.

[brokenman]

Thanks tome will check this out tonight.

Neko i like your GUI. We take different approaches. Yours is based on separating the distros while mine searches all distros together. There are many things I like about your GUI. It is very easy to understand and very fast. I like the layout left --> right.

Must I run

Code: Select all

usm -u all

to download salix packages. If I use

Code: Select all

usm -u salix

then after

Code: Select all

usm -g test

is

Code: Select all

 You are missing required database files! 
 Please run: usm -u all

but I have required database for searching Salix repository.

you are right tome seem salix not good to downloads packages i try another one but....

[brokenman]

Thanks Beny i have confirmed the bug. I get the same output.

Yes Tome you must run: usm -u all before you can do anything. Later if you just want to update a single repository (because the changelog shows new packages) you have the option to update just one.

[brokenman]

Problem fixed. It was indeed a problem with the x86_64 salix file. Please try again.

@Neko
Very nicely written script. I get no errors. Very easy to read and i like structure of the script. 5 stars *****

@brokenman

I'm very glad to receive a good rating from you.
Now, I begin translating to a Japanese message of the CUI usm,
which is already multilingual version by you.

Thanks.
