slackpkg+ 0.9.1
Posted: 2013-05-19 Filed under: system 2 CommentsAs zerouno mentioned here, a new version of slackpkg+ is available. From it’s website:
The Slackpkg+ project is a simple plugin that allow the user to add third-party repositories to slackpkg so to use a single tool for keep update the slackware installation and to install non-official packages.
I downloaded it from here, and upgraded my previous installation with
upgradepkg slackpkg+-0.9.1-noarch-2mt.txz
Then, I made sure to use the new configuration file in stead of the old one. First backup:
mv /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf.old
And then use the new one:
mv /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf.new /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf
Then I edited /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf
to my needs and made an update as it is recommended on slackpkg+’s website:
slackpkg update gpg
slackpkg update
slackpkg upgrade-all
I made sure to not upgrade AlienBob’s multilib gcc-*
and glibc-*
with Slackware64’s default ones.
Great!
