slpkg : SlackBuild.org package manager

Hi,

Here is a thread about this great package manager for SlackBuild.org repository
I will give some updates of the hard work made by Dimitris (dslackw)
I made the French translation of the manpage, and I try to help him (feedback, debug, etc...) as mush as I can

Features:
- Install, Update, Remove packages and its dependencies
- It automatically calculates dependencies and figures out what things need to happen to install packages.
- It makes it easier to manage groups of machines without the need for manual updates
And among others:
- Dependencies install order
- Colorful messages
- Nice python "clock" progress bar (I don't know how to call this one :D )
- Check the ChangeLog.txt file before update
- Improve speed for dependees

The last release on SBo is 4.4.8
And the 4.5.0 is awesome!

both
But SBo provides slackbuilds for <= 15.0
Most of the time, at least here, they build & run fine on -current

Short options, here they are:

Thanks for your work on this. I've included slpkg in the Slackware build essential docker image.

Code:

install(){

    sudo slpkg -i $1 -fp='*'

}

I just want to share with you this. I added it in my .bashrc now when I want to install a package, example vlc, I command "install vlc"
slpkg search if vlc deps are installed and everything that is installed escape from the installation/upgradepkg list. it works like alias=sudo slpkg -i <package> -fp='*'

A new Release 4.5.4 for slpkg was published

Changelog:

Code:

4.5.4 - 05/02/2023

- Message for configs

Added:

- For concatenating the short options (Thanks to marav)

- Help command for extra helping

- Ponce repository

- lftp downloader

Fixed:

- TOML decoder error for blacklist file

- Fixed to compare versions for dependencies (Thanks to marav)

I tested slpkg with ponce repo for Slackware-current and I found it ok.
I want to share here a small howto for everyone who running Slackware-current and want to use ponce repo via slpkg.

1) IF you install slpkg for first time then you should edit /etc/slpkg/slpkg.toml like this

Code:

nano /etc/slpkg/slpkg.toml

and edit line 55 like this

Code:

# You can choose downloader between wget and curl.

  # Ponce repository works only with 'lftp' downloader.

  # Default is wget. [wget/curl/lftp].

  DOWNLOADER = "lftp"

also line 94

Code:

PONCE_REPO = true

then save and exit.
you are ready for

Code:

slpkg update

2) If you already have slpkg in the installation, then when you upgrade slpkg version, you should have a file /etc/slpkg/slpkg.toml.new
this is the file you must edit like above, save and exit
Then command

Code:

mv /etc/slpkg/slpkg.toml.new /etc/slpkg/slpkg.toml

and thats all you are ready to use slpkg focus to ponce repo for Slackware-current.

A new Release 4.5.5 for slpkg was published

Changelog:

Code:

4.5.5 - 02/03/2023

Code:

mv /etc/slpkg/slpkg.toml.new /etc/slpkg/slpkg.toml

and thats all you are ready to use slpkg focus to ponce repo for Slackware-current.

Code:

# slackpkg new-config

also works

If you want to see diff, to merge your old conf with the new one, etc.

Code:

Added:

- For concatenating the short options

Now, we can do, e.g. for reinstalling a pkg, multi jobs, "yes" by default:

Code:

# slpkg -irjy <package>

-irjy = install --reinstall --jobs --yes

note:
MAKEFLAGS must be set in your environment for --jobs (e.g. MAKEFLAGS="-j$(nproc)")

A new Release 4.5.6 for slpkg was published

Changelog:

Code:

4.5.6 - 02/03/2023

Updated:

- Ponce repository

- slpkg.toml file for ponce repository

Added:

- Option --generate-only for ponce repository

- Command clean-data to delete repositories data

- Dialog text help for items

- Read packages from file

- Ask question to the config

https://gitlab.com/dslackw/slpkg/blo.../ChangeLog.txt

Hi to all,

For everyone who installed 4.5.5 and use the 'ponce' repository, it will be needed to run `slpkg clean-data` & `slpkg update` to recreate the database, otherwise, the database will crash.

With the version 4.5.6 the 'ponce' repository is fully supported.

Cheers

Hi,

Thanks for the report.
Do you use -current or stable version? And can you give this:

Code:

cat /usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/slpkg/upgrade.py

To be clear,

No one in my threads comes to say what to do or not, nor what is right or wrong
