Slackware :: Tool For Managing Package To Format Compat32?
Sep 11, 2010
I started writing compat32pkg late April. At the begining it was only for my personal use (and for the fun), and, it was only dedicated to automate updates of 32-bit part of the 32-bit compatibility layer (AlienBob's multilib). Afterward, I improved it, I added some features and now, it provides all the necessary for managing (converting,installing,upgrading,remove) of 32-bit part of the multilib, and others packages which are part of Slackware-32 like firefox, seamonkey, jre,. As I guess it could be usefull for others, I decided to publish it. So, if you want it, you can grab it at [URL]... But before that, I guess that you want to know a bit more about it. So, let's go. The installation of compat32pkg is done as for any Slackware package, using the command installpkg :
[code]...
If you want to convert packages to format compat32 only, you have to use compat32pkg in mode --convert instead of --install :
[code]...
The example below will give you the list of all available packages from the selected mirror and the status of the compat32 version (installed, not installed, update) of these packages......

Modify the mass-convert.sh script to include the entire L and N series (seems a likely place to for the missing dependency to reside) then installpkg the resulting glut of packages.

Kubuntu ships by default with a crippled K3b that won't rip DVDs to video files. Therefore I followed the instructions here to install it from source against libdvdread-dev. Now KPackageKit is continuously bugging me about 5 updates: k3b, k3b-dbg, libk3b-dev, libk3b6, and libk3b6-extracodecs. If I let those be "updated," I just get the binary versions of the same versions, without DVD ripping capabilities. Is there a way to get DVD ripping in k3b without APT continuously wanting to "update," it away?

I installed Texlive from Yast2. Everything is ok, but the managing of new packages.The standard installation provides no package managing, and guides don't say very much about how to get it. I'm new in Gnu/Linux OS, such Opensuse, and I don't know quite nothing about the shell (or terminal? -sorry for my English knowledge).I'm now trying to install the package named "parallel" in Texlive. How can I do without a graphical interface? Can I get an app similar to Miktex package manager?

I am writing a python package deployment tool for linux based platforms. I have tried various existing tool sets but none of them is up to the mark and they have their own issues. Initially I'll start with simple approach.
1. Find all the modules/packages and copy to "lib" directory.
2. Find python's *.so dependencies (system libs) and copy them to "syslib"
3. Copy python (executable) and libpython2.6.so.1.0 into "dist" directory.
4. Set up temp environment
5. Run main script using "python <main script>.py"
The idea is to produce a cleaner directory structure. Neither I am creating a boot loader nor I am converting main script file into executable. It's plain vanilla stuff. Using above steps I have pulled down a package using wxPython's demo example "pySketch.py". You can download the archive from here: [URL]. After extracting the contents, run the executable file using "./run". This file sets temporary environment variables and execute "pySketch.py". This is eventually not working. I think I am not able to set up temporary environment properly or may be missing some other stuff.

I am building my first rpm package and I cannot seem to find out how to change an existing .tgz to a .tar.gz as required by the rpm .spec file - I've attempted to search on this, but I can't find the exact command I'm looking for. Specifically, I hope to avoid having to untar the .tgz and simply convert it to the .tar.gz format.

I was reading Linux Format a few minutes ago. They have an article in May 2011 (LXF144) issue called, 16 Thing We Would Change About Ubuntu. One suggestion mentioned is that Ubuntu change from debian to rpm package format. Could someone please tell me why rpm is better? I have only tried an rpm distro a couple of years ago with Mandriva and with a live-cd now-and-again. But, I never have used one long enough to experience why it might be better. Why is rpm better? Or, are those folks at LXF wrong?

We are pleased to present one of our new creations: pkgbuild, a tool written in standard C++, using libCURL, ZLib, BZip2 and libLZMA (part of XZ). It is a modern Slackware packages builder, network-transparent, multi-architecture, designed to greatly simplify the creation of a package, automatically executing the required post processing.
What does it do? Recognize and build packages for the following architectures: i386, i486, i586, i686, x86_64, IA64, IA32e, s390, s390x, sparc and sparc64.

I am very happy to announce that today I succeeded to install full Slackware ARM on the pandaboard: URL...I did the following:
* sd with 2 partitions, one (vfat) for bootloaders (MLO, u-boot.bin) and uImage and the other one (ext2) for minirootfs
* copy xloader (MLO), uboot and uImage from Angstrom distro on the first partition
* copy Slackware ARM minirootfs on the second partition with Angstrom modules in the usual path (/lib/modules/...)
* boot in ARMedslack
* install all the others packages via NFS
I had to make some changes to configuration files as indicated here:URL...The next step is to build a kernel and modules for omap4 by myself and use them instead of the Angstrom ones.One question: is there any kind of package manager, such as slap-get, sbopkg, etc. for Slackware ARM? If not, can I use the SlackBuilds from slackbuilds.org? How to modify them?

I am familiar with slackware's slocate.What slocate doesn't have is an option to limit returned results from specific users or groups.What's more I can't seem to find a gui/web frontend so that people without knowledge of cli can benefit from the slocate's indexed search.So I turn to you all, is there another tool, that supports per user/group searching and a web (preferably) frontend?(clarification) i think slocate returns results related to the user running the search (files that he owns as well as files that are owned by his primary and other groups). Is that correct? I basically want a search user (who will be a member of the several groups that our office is structured like) to get results by giving as search criteria not only the filename, but also the owner of the file and / or the group

The Ultimate Bootable CD (UBCD) is a great live CD with a host of great tools and utlilities, useful to anyone interested in making a broken system bootable again. It is a good idea to familiarise yourself with this CD by having a look through it often,so that when you need to use it you know where things are...learning the command line syntax is better but this is a very useful stop gap while that process is ongoing...
You can have a look at it from here[URL]..download [URL].. burn at 8x I use CD-RW discs to save wasting Cd's...boot the CD up using function key or BIOS set for CD/DVD as first boot device. To navigate the disc...Esc, use Ctrl Alt Delete if you get stuck,Space Bar to insert a tick,Tab to change field,arrow keys to navigate the choices.

I have a new external 500gb drive I want to format and put data on. I first formatted it as Fat32 as I'd like to access it with Windows at some point. I ended up having a few files over 4gb, so that didn't work.
I'd like to use UDF as the file format. Does anyone see any issues with formatting a 500GB drive with UDF? I don't see any reason why I would want to WRITE to the drive in Windows, just read...but there is software out there to allow Windows XP to write to a UDF drive if I needed to.

I'm elated when I see software download pages that include a binary Slackware package.wrt KVIrc, their Slackware package is at the top of their list of binaries.They've got an rpm too, but it's SuSE, not Redhat - I found that to be pretty kewl too.I wonder if they're Slackers... hm...Well, that having been said, there's also a SlackBuild for it at the repository.I'm going to give this client a spin and see how I like it.Here's the URL: http://www.kvirc.net/?id=releases&pl...=4.0.2&lang=enUPDATE: The mirrors I checked are reporting 404 errors... bummer.

I put a larger drive in my netbook and stuck the old in an external USB enclosure so I could use it for backups. It had three partitions on it, ntfs and linux so I deleted all the partitions and created one big linux partition. Every time I write and exit fdisk the removable disk utility in KDE pops up and says ntfs drive. If I ignore it and try to formatit wants to use ntfs, if I fsck.ext3 it saysThe superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2filesystem. If the deviceis valid and it really contains an ext2filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblockis corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:e2fsck -b 8193 <device>2fsck -b 8193 doesn't work either.It seems like its caching something, I can print the partition table and see the one linux partition I created.
Code:
Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
