autoslackpkg automates the use of slackpkg. The script expects to be run
|
|
as the root user. It also expects specific modifications to blacklist,
|
|
mkinitrd.conf, efi.conf & lilo.conf.
|
|
|
|
The script maintains multiple kernels and manages EFI & LILO setups (not
|
|
GRUB yet). The default boot kernel is changed to the most recent kernel.
|
|
In the unlikely event the most recent kernel is not functioning properly
|
|
the system can be rebooted with the previous kernel.
|
|
|
|
The script has a config file /etc/slackpkg/autoslackpkg.conf that sets
|
|
default variables. These variables can be changed based on unique system
|
|
requirements.
|
|
|
|
The script requires options and arguments. To see usage help
|
|
run (autoslackpkg) without options or arguments. Usage help also is
|
|
displayed if there is a script option or argument error.
|
|
|
|
When run with the -h option and a valid argument (autoslackpkg -h
|
|
overview | blacklist | elilo | lilo | mkinitrd) the script provides
|
|
help.
|
|
|
|
When run with the -m option and a valid argument (autoslackpkg -m dialog
|
|
| batch) the script runs in either dialog mode or batch mode. Dialog
|
|
mode is a hands-on, interactive mode. Batch mode runs without user
|
|
input.
|
|
|
|
When run with the -s option (autoslackpkg -s update | install-new |
|
|
upgrade-all | clean-system | install-kernel | remove-kernel |
|
|
new-config) the script only runs a specific section of the overall
|
|
script.
|
|
|
|
The script runs in 2 Phases. If not installing a new kernel then
|
|
autoslackpkg runs both Phase 1 & Phase 2 in succession. If a new kernel
|
|
is installed then only Phase 1 is run & reboot is required. After
|
|
reboot, rerun autoslackpkg then Phase 1 is skipped & only Phase 2 is
|
|
run.
|
|
|
|
Phase 1 includes:
|
|
|
|
1) slackpkg update
|
|
2) slackpkg install-new
|
|
3) slackpkg upgrade-all (see blacklist help)
|
|
4) new kernel download & installation (see blacklist help)
|
|
5) mkinitrd for new kernel (see mkitrd help)
|
|
6) EFI system new kernel management (see elilo help)
|
|
7) LILO system new kernel management (see lilo help)
|
|
|
|
Phase 2 includes:
|
|
|
|
1) slackpkg clean-system
|
|
2) EFI system old kernel management (see elilo help)
|
|
3) LILO system old kernel management (see lilo help)
|
|
4) run updatedb
|
|
5) slackpkg new-config
|
|
6) find /etc *.new & *.orig
