how to modify an existing slackbuild from slackbuilds.org to check source out of a git repo instead of downloading a tarball? Slackbuild in question is 'scantailor'.I could just change the 'info' file to point to a git snapshot URL, but I would have trouble with the version numbers and tarball checksums needing manual updating, no?
View 7 Repliesi am working off of this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Feisty and when i try to follow the instructions below "download tarball manually" i get this. chown: cannot access '/tmp/tmpaIgInN' : No such file or directory

It involved converting two .rpm files to .deb with the alien utility and then installing by simply double clicking on the .deb files in the file browser invoking the Ubuntu Software Manager. I put the two .deb files in a tarball (tar.gz) and would like suggestions as to how to make the tarball available for other Ubuntu users to download.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI am going to try out a tiling wm and I have narrowed my search down to scrotwm and dwm. I installed scrotwm from slackbuilds.org but it did not show up as a selection when I ran xwmconfig? Any ideas as to why? So then I went install dwm from slackbuilds.org but saw there was only a build script for slackware 13 as opposed to 13.1 which is what I am running. So two questions for dwm, one why is there no slackbuild for 13.1, and two when I tried to use the slackbuild for 13 this also didn't show up under xwmconfig, any thoughts?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm making my own yum repository - firstly so that all the machines I administer can be updatedvia the internal network, secondly so that I can test any updates on a spare machine before passing them on, and thirdly so that I can add my own repo for internal software.
I've created the necessary folders under my webserver, and used rsync to update them from my local CentOS mirror, following the instructions at [URL]
I notice it says to run "createrepo" on the base repository, created by copying the rpms from release DVD.
When I rsynced the updates repo, but I notice that the files in repodata are very small. In fact, having a look inside them, filelists.xml contains no file details. But if I run createrepo in the updates directory, filelists.xml gets lots of file details inside it.
I wondered if maybe the local mirror hadn't been updated properly, but checking against mirror.centos.org shows that has the same files.
how does the (real, live, CentOS) updates repo work when there is nothing in the filelists?
As always, very impressive effort from Slackbuilds.org to get slackbuild scripts updated for 13.1. Thanks to all who maintain these scripts. One which does not seem to have made it to 13.1 so far is a build script for WINE. Anybody know whether this is beacuse of some problem ? Or just an oversight ? The 13.0 script is there - might be OK to just use this with 13.1 ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedRecenlty I installed sbopkg for maintaining slackbuilds scripts and I found it very useful. But there are some limitations coming from outdated repositories for older version of slackware. Eg. a tar ball with Maxima source maxima-18.1.... which is default in the slackbuilds.org repository for slack 12.2 doesn't exist at this moment. One can find older and newer versions. I understand that maintainers of slackbuild scripts are rather focused on recent slack version. Nevertheless such outdated entries should be somehow marked
in the way that a visitor will know that a default source tarball is no longer accessible. Maybe persons who submit the scripts should be responsible for keeping track for a sources. If that problem won't be solved it is a danger that slackbuilds.org will play only a role of some addons to the very recent slack release - but if this will be a case then simpler is to build say additional two or three DVD's of packages.
At least, that is what I think happened.I was interested in trying out tilda, which needs the confuse libary, both of which are slackbuilds on slackbuilds.orgI built and installed confuse, and then went to build tilda but got some error I could not follow up on.However after this, nothing as a normal user would work!For some reason my libary directories, /lib64, /usr/lib64 and other key directories such as /usr/share and /usr/bin were set to have permissions 700It took me a while to figure out what was causing the problem.Can anyone confirm that the confuse slackbuild resets your permissions like this? Otherwise, what could have caused it?Can someone please give me the correct permissions for those direcories? Is it safe to just do chmod -R 755 /usr and /lib64?

Im trying to recompile glibc from a working slackware-current system using source from a slackware mirror. I'm doing it for testing purpose only. Never done that before, so i'm not sure if i'm doing it right. I get the following error:

I have the latest fbreader.Slackbuild via sbopkg. The compilation steps seem to run OK until, if I understand this correctly, it starts work on libzlcore, at which point things go wrong :
Code:
OK
The README says I will need liblinebreak, which I "Slackbuilt" with no problems.
I used the fbreader.SlackBuild in a 64bit system to create a package and I got some libraries installed under /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64. FBReader seems to work fine though, so I'm not sure this is a problem. I guess it could be if some other app looks for those libraries. Just thought I should report it anyway.
I used UI=gtk if it matters.

The script was ran using Slackware64 13.37 and the 2.6.38.4 kernel. I've googled around and searched here, but haven't found anything "current" on the such a problem.
If 13.1 and KDE 4.4.3 aren't new enough for anyone, I've just successfully built and installed KDE 4.4.4 with the slackbuilds for 4.4.3. I had to edit the Slackbuild for kdenetwork by commenting out the line that patches the source. Other than that everything seems to be fine, although I don't know yet if this is a good thing or a bad thing since I've just got it installed.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI was trying to install the HandBrake slackbuild. It gave me an error saying it needed webkit, so I check for it in slackbuilds.org, where I found it. Listing said it required two things: libsoup and icu4c. So I downloaded the slackbuilds for those two and they installed fine, then started the install for webkit.
It did its build thing for about ten minutes, then it errors out, but the error message is pretty convoluted so I'm not sure what its telling me. Here's the last few lines from the terminal:

Anyone know what went wrong, and what I need to do to fix this?
I downloaded the slackbuilds openoffice.org files, extracted them, added the original source, ran chmod +x openoffice.org.SlackBuild, ran ./openoffice.org.SlackBuild, then found the resulting .tgz and installpkg'ed it. I was able to get through all of the steps listed without any error messages and everything seemed to be going well. However, now when I navigate to opt/openoffice.org3 (the created folder) and attempt to run any of the programs from kde nothing happens. When I attempt to run them in terminal I get the following message:
root@slacktop:~# soffice
/usr/bin/soffice: line 98: /opt/openoffice.org3/program/../basis-link/program/pagein: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/soffice: line 104: /opt/openoffice.org3/program/../basis-link/ure-link/bin/javaldx: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/soffice: line 129: /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin: No such file or directory
is there some reason these files wouldn't be in there after a normal installation? I read the howto on slackbuilds.org several times to make sure I got all the steps right, and have tried uninstalling with removepkg and reinstalling and the same thing keeps happening.
On my ubuntu system when I was editing pdf files I used PDF-ShufflerSo now I wrote a slackbuild script for my slackware 13 (xfce)To be more specific, I dont know how to write a slackbuild script so I try to edit the pyPdf.SlackBuild script, hopefully it works!
