Checks if a critical package were upgraded by Slackpkg.
The /var/run/needs_restarting file contains the list of upgraded
packages.
The file only is created if /var/run filesystem type is tmpfs so
the reboot will clean it
Upgrading from 14.2 to 15 some packages (elvis, vim, nvi) may remove
the symlink /usr/bin/vi, but only the nvi package automatically
recreate it.
The slackware 15.0 installer uses /var/lib/pkgtools/setup/setup.vi-ex
to allow user to choose which editor to use.
pkg/slackpkg+-1.8.rc1-noarch-1mt.txz:
Slackware 15.0 rc3 has been released, declared as 99% freezed.
Slackpkg too has had many changes, fix and improvement, and it's the
time for slackpkg+ 1.8 to be declared ready. See the CHANGES in
documentation for all improvements.
- Regression on (not-needed) gpg key check on dir:/ repository
+-------------------------+
pkg/slackpkg+-1.7.11-noarch-2mt.txz:
- Automatically download gpg key if needed if STRICTGPG=on.
If STRICTGPG=off you need to manually run slackpkg update gpg every
time you add a new repository.
+-------------------------+
updated documentation
pkg/slackpkg+-1.7.11-noarch-1mt.txz:
- zlookkernel.sh also supports grub (thanks to RezaT4795)
- repositories.lst updated
- Added "comma" syntax. Now you can add a comma (,) at start or at end
of packagename to match the exact name, so "libreoffice," does match
the "libreoffice" package and not the libreoffice-dict-* ecc. for ex:
slackpkg upgrade libreoffice,
slackpkg install alienbob:libreoffice,
slackpkg download libreoffice,
slackpkg search libreoffice,
slackpkg install libreoffice,
will look for libreoffice only, without match libreoffice-dict and
all other libreoffice-*
slackpkg by default match grep -w packagename pkglist
pkg/slackpkg+-1.7.10-noarch-1mt.txz:
- According to slackpkg 15.0.9, automatically rebuild package lists if
missing or not build by slackpkg+
+-------------------------+
0 Successful Slackpkg execution.
1 Something wrong happened.
2 Something fatal happened. (not available in slackpkg)
20 No package found to be downloaded, installed, reinstalled, upgraded
or removed.
50 Slackpkg itself was upgraded and you need to re-run it.
100 There are pending updates.
Please: do not ignore the fatal output!
pkg/slackpkg+-1.7.8-noarch-1mt.txz:
- New feature: CHECKDISKSPACE=on in configuration enable checking
diskspace before download and install packages
- Fixed an issue on zlookkernel when /boot/vmlinuz is a symlink to another
symlink
Add CHECKDISKSPACE=on in slackpkgplus.conf
Note:
to download it will check $TEMP path (/var/cache/packages by default)
to install (and only install, not for upgrade) it will check $ROOT/usr
filesystem since MOST (not ALL) files are there.

- Replaced SBOURL with array SBO to allow multiple repository. please
do not change the default value.

pkg/slackpkg+-1.7.6-noarch-9mt.txz: Rebuilt
- Just updated repositories in documentation and in sample config
file. Note that some repository now force ssl, and bear.alienbase.ln
moved to slackware.nl and www.slakfinder.org moved to slakfinder.org.
If not explicitly put it in configuration files, the cached downloader
may not work properly. So it's important update slackpkgplus.conf
+-------------------------+

+-------------------------+

- link instead copy for local repositories (thanks to zdolar)
