USM Unified Slackware Package Manager

[brokenman]

This functionality could certainly be added however it could get a little messy after a while. For example you have libgsf sitting in your 'gnumeric' subfolder. You then download another package that has libgsf as a dependency, it would be downloaded a second time when it isn't really needed.

I understand that for the end user it is (probably) much nicer to keep all dependencies of a package together with the package in a subfolder so that all deps can be installed along with a package when needed. So, which is the preferred method?

[francois]

@phhpro:
I am not talking about slackbuild, but about already builtup packages.

@brokenman:
This is it. You need to have a system that helps you to know which package belong to which library, wether you load everything thru the /porteus/modules folder or not. You might want from time to time to displace some package an dependencies into the /porteus/optional folder. If you are to do so, you need to have some neat arrangement of the packages in /porteus/modules.

As you see, I do not ask to impose that way of working to everyone, its optional. Do you want a subfolder, yes or no, would be the question. Once into subfolder package, it is easy to eyeball and see if a given library is there and extra with what package it belongs.

[brokenman]

Understood. I've implemented the request. If the user answers 'yes' that they would like to create a subfolder then a subfolder with the name of the chosen package is created.

Example: bluefish-2.2.4

This folder would contain the original package and it's deps.

[francois]

Thanks a lot.

[brokenman]

I should have a basic GUI ready shortly for some testing. Nothing super flash but better to start testing it in the early stages so you can make suggestions for improvement.

thx

[brokenman]

Thanks slaxmax. I was playing with this yesterday and noticed the same thing with VLC. Will check it out.

EDIT: Version mismatch for vlc. It appears I will need to update the databases more regularly or things will break. I will create an automated system for this. Hamza, I may need your help on the server.

Hello !
usm -s bind shows 3 packages
how can i get the one in slackwarepatches
cause usm -g bind gives an only choice
I am a beginner in using usm (seems very interesting resolving dependences)
Second question : I'm using usm 3.0.7 (from porteus distro) ,
how can I upgrade to usm 3.08
(I thougt to download the 3.0.8. txz from sourceforge
and then installpkg ? or txz2xzm ? or another way
thanks

[brokenman]

usm -s bind is used to search for packages. It will search for the string in any order. For example: bind-0.3 or keybind-1.2 or anything-bind-more-1.2.3.

Once you use usm -s to search for the package you want use: usm -g keybind-1.2 to download it. usm -g searches for packages starting with the string.
For example: usm -g bind would find bind-1.2.3 or bindump-1.2.3 or bindage-1.2.3

So to download it you would type: usm -g bind-9.9.4_P2-x86_64-1_slack14.1.txz

To update, you are correct. Download the latest version and install it using: installpkg usm-3.0.8-noarch-1.txz

[bour59]

thx I had understood how to use usm
usm -g bind-9.9.4_P2-i486-1_slack14.1.txz says Nothig found for bind....
I'm looking for the 32 bits version
to avoid any finger error , the package name was copy/pasted
I will update to 3.0.8 using installpkg (txz2xzm does not recognize the .tgz as correct)

[brokenman]

usm -g bind-9.9.4_P2-i486-1_slack14.1.txz says Nothig found for bind

Ok thanks, I will check it out.

[bour59]

@brokenman
no problem with bind-9.9.4 after updating databases (usm -u)
will do this first if another error.
Sorry !
