Hi.
Since pam was introduced, slackware 15.0 will be released but I think this will need some month.
I want to release slackpkg+ 1.8 when slackware 15 will be ready
I've just a few time to dedicate but I want to do it.
I ask for contributes for bug report for slackpkg+ development release slackpkg+-1.7.0d1-noarch-6mt.txz
to install it put in slackpkgplus.conf
MIRRORPLUS['slackpkgplus']=http://slakfinder.org/slackpkg+dev/
The configuration file is compatible; just some default settings changed.
This is the CHANGES documentation but it is old apr 2018. I will add the diff (last commit is jan 2019)
Code:
== From 1.7 to mainline ==
*Configuration file:
- USEBL now accepts 'on'/'off' values instead '0'/'1'
- Changed some default settings in sample configuration file
- Added SBOURL to configure the SlackBuild.org repository
*New features:
- Added manpages (italian and english) for slackpkgplus.conf
- Added a 'fatal log' to show some serious error that the users should not
ignore. For example a failure installing packages.
- Added SBo support. This does not replace sbopkg. It just search in
SlackBuilds.org and report the url to download to build and install
packages yourself.
*Improvements
- Improved checkrepos.sh
- Smaller output for 'slackpkg search'
*BugFixes
- 'slackpkg search' did not honor the '+' symbol
- Issues when an invalid repository is configured
- 'slackpkg check-updates' did not work unless you set VERBOSE=3
*Various
- Suppress wget output in ChangeLog downloading
- Bash completation enabled by default (if you have bash_completation package
installed)
- 'slackpkg upgrade' now works with slackpkg-2.83 (development release).
This is not officially released, so not all regressions can be solved.
Currently slackpkg+ does not work with slackpkg-2.83 if $ROOT is non-empty.
Fix setupmultilib script
slackpkg+ did not work properly when run as a package group instead single packages.
Fix caching when repository returns 302 or uses HTTP/2
Fixed an issue when there are no repository configured.
Works with slackpkg 2.84
Allow to use the blacklist system from slackpkg 2.84 (still in beta).
Only impact install/upgrade/remove options, and does not impact greylist.
some fix are backported on 1.7 stable release.
Also I've an uncommited patch that replace the spinning with a progress system; also it supports TERSE.
There is an optional module that help user to reconfigure the initrd after kernel update and help to reconfig the efi partition. It does not support grub nor complex configurations. It is an optional module not configured by default.
I will wait for feedback
[EDIT] Also report me bad repositories or new repositories.
