Slackware :: Keep 3rd Party Packages Updated?
Feb 27, 2011I am using SBOpkg, but for the ~30 3rd party packages I have most of the slackbuilds are already out of date, and I don't expect they will be updated when security issues or whatever arise.
So is the only solution to subscribe to the individual mailing list for each piece of software, or is there a more automatic way?

Red Hat :: How To Remove 3rd Party Packages
Apr 7, 2011I installed a LAMP server using RHEL 5.5 but we needed a higher version of php than was available in RHEL Yum repositories. I think at the time I installed Dag Wieers and got a 3rd party package. My question is the following:
1. How do I remove the 3rd party packages?
2. How do I remove Dag Wieers from my Yum repo list?
3. Anything else I need to know to get all 3rd party packages off?
Ubuntu :: How To Resolve Third-party Ppa Packages Conflict
Aug 15, 2010I need to install some packages, but it fails because I previously installed gnome-shell testing, and now have the ricotz ppa packages conflicting with the default packages. See error below.
Code:
libgtk2.0-dev:
Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (=2.20.1-0ubuntu2) but 2.20.1-0ubuntu3~10.04~ricotz2 is to be installed
Depends: libpango1.0-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libatk1.0-dev but it is not going to be installed
How do I remove these packages and re-install the default ones, without risking damage to my system?
UPDATE: I have now tried to remove this packages using ppa-purge and the new ubuntu tweaks, but for the life of me I cannot get rid of them.

Slackware :: Static Libraries - Why Aren't They Shipped In Official Slackware Packages
Aug 12, 2010I noticed that the official Slackware packages don't contain static libraries. The SlackBuild scripts from slackbuilds.org or from Slackware DVD usually contain --disable-static option to prevent building the .a file. And if configure script doesn't allow such option, the .a file is deleted before the package is created.I am wondering what is the reason for that? Is it just the matter of conserving disk space? Are there also other reasons?

Slackware :: Missing Lua In Dev Packages?
Sep 30, 2010just curious if there was some discussion about reasons (not)-including Lua in stock Slackware packages ? IMHO it perfectly fits to distro's KISS philosophy, is very small and packaging maintenance is very easy (only glibc dependency, simple compilation and installation proces). Slackware contains programming language implementations of Common Lisp, Guile Scheme, Ada 95 which I find more exotic then Lua in these days. I know there are some histroical reasons and keeping continuity but anyway ...

Apr 14, 2010I know this type of upgrade question is asked regularly so I apologise in advance if its annoying.
Im currently running 12.2, and Im wondering when 13.1 may be available? have there been many problems with 13.0? I've been working quite alot so havent been checking in that often lately.
also, would my old .tgz packages work with 13.1, or would I need to rebuild them as .txz?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSlackware :: Short Downloadscript For Packages
Apr 28, 2011I'm using a short script when I download the Slackware-(current) packages.
Since it works for me I want to share it. I've added a configurationfile, so anyone can adapt it to his/her requirements.
Note: I don't want to prevent anyone from buying the official DVD, but maybe you'll find it usefull to download the packages when performing a fresh install of current.
Advantage of the script is that one has less downloadsize and one can exclude package-series from downloading (in the conf-file).
Here is the configfile, it has to be saved as "getslack.conf" in the same directory as the script.
Code:
For the installation I use the bootable usb-image or create a minimal install-CD (CD1 without any packages) like here ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/slackwar...nux/README.TXT explained.

Slackware :: Exotic Fonts Packages?
Jun 25, 2011I'm trying to identify - and eventually uninstall - exotic fonts packages, but unfortunately, the package names in the X group - as well as their descriptions - are not always very helpful.
I'd like to uninstall every font that's not needed to write in either french, german or english, that is: arab, asian, greek and cyrillic fonts, plus the odd exotic font I haven't thought of.
The reason I'm doing this is not some sort of xenophobia on my behalf, but the simple fact that the LibreOffice font selector is quite crowded when all the font packages are installed. Since the desktops I install are primarily used by folks who freshly migrate from Microsoft windows, I've found that a mix of standard latin fonts plus the webfonts (XP + Vista) fonts package from SBo is the most popular solution. At least, that's what I did until now when installing other Linux distributions.

May 13, 2010I installed Slackware 13 last night and have been trying to get bittornado to properly work. Some background info, I have my partitions set up as follows:
Partition 1: /
Partition 2: /usr/local
Partition 3: /home
Partition 4: swap
I unzipped the tar.gz file and made a package using makepkg, and then installed it. Afterwords, trying to run "btlaunchmanycurses" or "btlaunchmanycurses.py" doesn't do anything. Further examining shows me that it installed the package to my / directory. Shouldn't packages be installed somewhere in my /usr dir? I'm new to linux, I spent some time with it a couple years ago but haven't done anything since.

View 14 Replies View RelatedSlackware :: Compiling And Installing The Packages?
Jan 24, 2010I am in need of some more clear information about compiling and installing various applications in Slackware. I mean, i am not that new in Linux world, but i am not used to having to check for dependencies on my own and making Slackware packages myself. Things i would like to know more about and would be these:
a) is there some magical way you use to find out what dependencies a package has? I would appreciate as much information in this field as much as i can get. As now if i download source of some application i have completely no idea about what it needs from my system to function properly or where to look for this information. I think there should be more "correct way" than goggling for it...
b) I know about nice site SlackBuilds.org that it is, but lets say i want to install application A, and there is written, that application A requires application B, which requires application C, and this one needs application D. So now i have to spend good half of a day getting and compiling dependencies for one application, i mean common there has to be a quicker way to do this... at least some tool that would let me build some kind of ques that would be processed automatically or some kind of trick... So if you know some focuses under your sleeve, then please oh please do share
c) I would also like to know more about optimizing Slackware for boot time and general performance (but it's not that important, there are a lot of walls of text about this in Google world).
Slackware :: Packages Tries To Rewrite Rc.4 Script
Jan 31, 2011I'm running slackware-current and I noticed that certain packages (qt, qt4, libplist) rewrites /etc/rc.d/rc.4 to it's original state. I modified my rc.4 to start SLiM (Simple Login Manager) before GDM/KDM/XDM and these packages just overwrite it. Fortunately, with slackpkg I don't have to apply these changes, but it's annoying to deny it every time.
I guess it's not entirely -current related, since qt3-3.3.8b appeared long time ago in extra/kde3-compat, but I can't tell for sure or test it right now (all my machines run -current)
Slackware :: Upgrading 64 Kernel Packages
Jan 23, 2010Code:
1. Upgrade the kernel and kernel-modules packages normally.
That sounds simple except that day-to-day, I don't run a stock Slackware kernel. I compile and run my own and always have. As I look back on my history with Slackware, I don't think I've ever upgraded kernel packages once I got a system up and running. When there's been big changes (2.4 to 2.6, for example), I've done a full re-install.
Most recently when I made the jump to 64bit, I did a full install using the huge.s kernel and once everything worked, I downloaded the current source from kernel.org and was on my way. I haven't booted huge.s since that day.
I do, of course, know how to upgrade my own custom kernel, but I like having huge.s installed as a backup. If I upgrade gcc/glibc, compile a new custom kernel and update lilo.conf/fstab without upgrading huge.s, then I will be left with only one working kernel.
So, my question is: is it simply a matter of running upgradepkg on the 6 kernel packages (headers, modules, firmware, generic, huge and source)? or is there more to it than that..ie, what about the system maps and symlinks in /boot?
