Code:

    8: conraid ~ https://slack.conraid.net/repository/slackware64-current/

My example is from old slpkg version.
Take a look here https://gitlab.com/dslackw/slpkg/-/b...ositories.toml
This is the latest repository.toml of slpkg
From there you will get your informations better I think.

New pinxi handles this changed syntax, but also the old syntax. Thanks for letting me know it changed. The new one is recombined into a URL:

Code:

pinxi -r

Running slpkg-4.8.0 and it's pretty nifty. I'll still mostly run the SBo scripts manually - I don't upgrade all that often - but for some that have a whole bunch of little dependencies (ZoneMinder e.g.), it's nice to run slpkg to save some tedium.

I did run into a bit of a snag today with audacity. Seems the source is downloaded to the wrong /tmp/slpkg location:

Code:

slpkg: Error: No such file or directory: '/tmp/slpkg/build/audacity/audacity-sources-3.2.5.tar.gz'.

It seems the buildscript and source are not expanding into the build directory.

Also, I have audacity-3.0.0 installed, 'slpkg -f audacity' finds the package, but 'slpkg -i audacity' does not flag it as an upgrade. I removed the old, and created the /tmp/slpkg/build/audacity with the correct files manually. That worked.

Also, I have audacity-3.0.0 installed, 'slpkg -f audacity' finds the package, but 'slpkg -i audacity' does not flag it as an upgrade. I removed the old, and created the /tmp/slpkg/build/audacity with the correct files manually. That worked.

Hi kingbeowulf,

Thanks for this report.

slpkg -d is used for download packages only and by default download packages in the /tmp/slpkg folder.

You can redirect the path if you apply the --directory option:

Code:

slpkg -d <packages> --directory=path/to/download

slpkg clean-tmp it's a useful command that you can clean old downloads. (All slpkg clean-* commands has upgraded for the next version 4.8.2)

Code:

slpkg clean-tmp

Also, if you have installed a package, and you try to reinstall it, slpkg highlight the name of the package with color grey, so you should apply --reinstall option, and you will see the color of the package turn to violet, that means it going to upgrade it.

As for the error that you reference, I'll try to find what did happen.

Code:

slpkg: Error: No such file or directory: '/tmp/slpkg/build/audacity/audacity-sources-3.2.5.tar.gz'

Cheers

Also, `slpkg install` command deletes previous downloaded sources before download the new ones.

Hard core slackpkg w/slackpkg+ user here. I decide play around with this awesome program. I don't use SBo, I roll my own SlackBuilds. The only "binary" packages I have installed are from Alien Bob (13) and zerouno (1).

I ran in to the same issue as @nobodino, built with the wrong progress. Should have put 2n2 together since all the other requirements are python along with slpkg it self.

Another thing I noted is SQLAlchemy has a 2.0.11 version, the 1.4.47 is the version that works. No big deal, easy enough to figure out.

Looking good so far.

dslackw · 04-28-2023, 09:24 AM

Thanks, @chrisretusn, I'll do some changes.

FWIW the version in the unofficial repository for current is the same that is on SBo :-)

Code:

I think this happened after you deleted the database data, with:

slpkg clean-data
