Hi,

There are a whole bunch of games which is difficult to find elsewhere but can be found here:-
https://slackonly.com/pub/packages/14.1-x86_64/games/

slackonly repo is a bit slow but be patient and your games should be loaded in no time.
Currently USM does not support slackonly repo. But I have modded it to include the repo with dependencies checking to ease the downloading.

Code: Select all

# usm -g egoboo

 The following items were found.
 Choose an number to confirm. 
 ctrl+c to quit

1) egoboo-2.7.4-x86_64-2_slack.txz

 The following packages are required.

 Would you like to install the package/s? (custom paths are supported) [y/n]

Thanks for that major site on slackware games. :crazy:

I don't know if I will have enough years in my life to go thru all the packages I have seen in this repository. :)

A "modded" USM!! I like the sounds of that. Would you be willing to share it? Do you have any other mods for it?

Ed is right, cttan you should provide some small howto.

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the delay as I was away for a few days without internet.

Here you go ...

1. Open /usr/bin/usm and edit/insert below lines:-
[ ! `egrep -o "slackware|slackwarepatches|slacky|salix|alien|ponce|slackonly|sbo|usm|all" <<<"$1"` ] && \
...
[ "$1" == "slackonly" ] && { update_database slackonly; cleanup; }
...
<menuitem icon="gtk-edit"><label>'$(gettext "Edit slackonly mirror")'</label>
<action>gtk_editFile '$CONFDIR/mirrors-slackonly.txt' &</action>
</menuitem>
...
'"`for a in slackware slacky salix alien ponce slackonly; do echo '
...


My /usr/bin/usm:-
http://pastebin.com/0MJLVM0Y

2. Add slackonly repo link into /etc/usm/mirrors-slackonly.txt using /etc/usm/mirrors-ponce.txt as sample.
My /etc/usm/mirrors-slackonly.txt

Code: Select all

# List of Slackonly Slackware mirrors
# Structure: $VER/$ARCH
 
# OFFICIAL
http://slackonly.com/pub
3. Add these lines into /etc/usm/files.conf using ponce as sample.
distro:slackonly
files:CHECKSUMS.md5.gz MANIFEST.bz2 PACKAGES.TXT.gz
extras:LIBS.TXT.gz
excludes:

My /etc/usm/mirrors-slackonly.txt

Code: Select all

# This config file is awk'd in the function update database() in order
# to download database files or remove unwanted files from PACKAGES.TXT.
# The excludes line is for removing packages from PACKAGES.TXT so they are
# not available in USM at all. 

distro:alien
files:CHECKSUMS.md5.gz MANIFEST.bz2 PACKAGES.TXT.gz

4. Edit DISTROS line in /etc/usm/usm.conf
DISTROS="slackware slackwarepatches slacky salix alien ponce slackonly"

My /etc/usm/usm.conf for reference:-

Code: Select all

9. Update slackonly database.
usm -u slackonly

You are done. Start downloading from slackonly using CLI.
usm -g <package name>

Example:- usm -g wireshark

Code: Select all

 The following items were found.
 Choose an number to confirm. 
 ctrl+c to quit

1) wireshark-1.12.2-x86_64-2_slack.txz
#? 
slackonly package mostly ends with slack.

Do not update your USM after modifications, else it will be overwritten by the stock version.
DO NOT ISSUE COMMAND : USM -U USM

If you are downloading my files from pastebin, pls remember to remove the .sh and put it in the respective folder.
I have only messed with USM CLI on x86_64. Pls do not ask me about USM GUI or 32bit CLI.
Hopefully it is working for you.
:beer:

EDIT :
Download usm-3.1.7-x86_64-slackonly-mod-1tct.xzm here:-

Wow!! cttan. :shock:

That's an impressive "mod" and an impressive post explaining it. Thank you. :beer:

I wonder if it can be tweaked even further to handle other files, like freestylers?

@cttan
Just my 2 cents. As a suggestion, could you not make life easier for the 64 bitters by putting all altered/relevant files into a module which can then be activated?

@Bogomips
Download link provided in the previous post.

@Ed_P
I have not tried other repo but I think the possibility is great as most Slackware package mirror site have almost the same format.

Hi Bogomips,

I think slackonly repo is available in 32bit usm.
Pls check.

I tried this using the module you added and got this:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ su
Password: 
root@porteus:/home/guest# usm -u slackonly

 Use: usm -u <distro> 
 For example: usm -u slackware

root@porteus:/home/guest# ls  -d /mnt/live/memory/images/usm*.xzm
/mnt/live/memory/images/usm-3.1.7-x86_64-slackonly-mod-1tct.xzm/
root@porteus:/home/guest# 
 
I'll let you know when I have tried more tests.

@bogomips: you are the moderators forking expert. Maybe this could be a very nice howto: Adding repositories to USM. This will be a surprise to brokenman. :wink:

@Ed_P
I have uploaded the latest version. Pls download again and try.
When using the xzm module instead of modifiying the script files yourself, it seems like the xzm activation sequence would not replace existing file if any exist.
So I have put in a script to move the current file to .317. So you should see 2 files in the folder like this:-
/etc/usm/usm
/etc/usm/usm.317


I have also included slackonly update(not the latest) in the modded module. So for testing you do not need to do this
usm -u slackonly

@francois
brokenman has built a very robust usm. :good:

Are you sure? Because the following shows the opposite:

Code: Select all

    guest@porteus:~$ mkdir usmod
    guest@porteus:~$ cp --parents /etc/usm/usm.conf usmod
    guest@porteus:~$ vi usmod/etc/usm/usm.conf   # MODULES <- true

    root@porteus:/home/guest# dir2xzm usmod/ usmod.xzm
    Parallel mksquashfs: Using 1 processor
    Creating 4.0 filesystem on usmod.xzm, block size 262144.
    [===============================================================================|] 1/1 100%

    Exportable Squashfs 4.0 filesystem, xz compressed, data block size 262144
            compressed data, compressed metadata, compressed fragments, compressed xattrs
            duplicates are removed
    Filesystem size 2.12 Kbytes (0.00 Mbytes)

    root@porteus:/home/guest# grep MODULES /etc/usm/usm.conf
    MODULES=false

    root@porteus:/home/guest# activate usmod.xzm             
    Updating shared library links:  /sbin/ldconfig
    root@porteus:/home/guest# grep MODULES /etc/usm/usm.conf
    MODULES=true

    root@porteus:/home/guest# deactivate usmod.xzm
    Updating shared library links:  /sbin/ldconfig
    root@porteus:/home/guest# grep MODULES /etc/usm/usm.conf
    MODULES=false
In this example usm.conf was suppressed by file from module.

@cttan Unfortunately my architecture does not permit me to try out your module :(

And the results are:

 You are using USM version:  3.1.7

root@porteus:/home/guest# usm -u slackonly

 Use: usm -u <distro> 
 For example: usm -u slackware

root@porteus:/home/guest# ls -d /mnt/live/memory/images/usm*.xzm

Something isn't clicking. xzm activation usually does replace existing files but in this case the 2 new scripts aren't being added.

I did the usm -u slackonly command just to verify that slackonly was added to usm. And while the -u command failed this one didn't:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# usm -g wireshark

 The following items were found.
 Choose an number to confirm. 
 ctrl+c to quit

1) wireshark-1.12.2-x86_64-2_slack.txz
#? ^C
root@porteus:/home/guest#
So something is working. :good:
