Well, I think that we can mark that version as Beta. It does not contains
new features, but it was done a large work of bugfixes and improvements.
A special thanks is for phenixia2003 and yars068 for code contributing and
for many other for ideas and testing. It's the time for the tests, to find
for bugs or someother improvement.
- 'slackpkg search' if finds more duplicated packages with different
versions from many repository, now show all, marking it as "masked" the
packages that will not be installed due the priority
- Fixed a regression that drop PKGS_PRIORITY function in slackpkg upgrade
- Improved greylist. Also, now it allow to match the name in installed packages
- Fixed download GPG-KEY; it did not show the correct repository for gpg key
- Fixed previous patch for $ROOT problem (did broke 'slackpkg search command')
- Improved performance
- Fixed search that may fails to detect repository in certain conditions
- slackpkg search shows the repository name for the official repository
- Do not show notices when running slackpkg update or slackpkg check-updates
(thanks to yars068)
- Fixed a bug on x86 hosts when a repository contains also x86_64 packages
removed TABs from all files
- Remember user to (re)run 'slackpkg update gpg'
- Fixed Download Only when upgrade base packages (aaa_base, pkgtools...)
- Quick output on Cached Download
- Fixed a missed $ROOT
- Added SHOWORDER option. It's a way to sort packages in dialog box to help
reviewing large upgrade from many repositories. The SHOWORDER option
accepts "package" "repository" "tag" "path" "arch".
- Fixed some repository url. There are already some 14.2 repositories!!!
- slackpkg+ advise you to update the pkglist before use it
- Added a script in /usr/doc/slackpkg+-* to a fast check of repositories
- slackpkg -dialog=off now show repository name as with dialog
- Added SENSITIVE_SEARCH option to search case-insensitive
(thanks to phenixia2003)
- Important fixes in the priority manager. Many thanks to all people that
reported the bugs and a Big thanks to phenixia2003 for the fix. Now we need
your help to test it.
Note for Slackware 14.1 users: slackware-current introduce important bug fix
in slackpkg 2.82.0-14 (see Slackware ChangeLog) not backported in slackware
14.1; it is not mandatory but you are encouraged to upgrade it by download it
manually; be sure to graylist slackpkg to avoid an automatic downgrade.
- The trailing slash in MIRRORPLUS[] is now optional (thanks to phenixia2003
and Didier Spaier)
- Added DOWNLOADCMD option to add a custom downloader
- Fixed a bug that causes that ALL repositories fail if ONE repository fails
(thanks to FR on Alien Pasture for reporting)
- Fixed TAG_PRIORITY to avoid impact in slackpkg install
- Added priority by tag. Setting TAG_PRIORITY to 'yes' slackpkg+
automatically upgrade packages from repository where the tag is the same
of the already installed package.
- Now the official repositories (slackware64, extra, patches...) are treated
as thirdy party repositories, so you can add it in PKGS_PRIORITY
(phenixia2003)
- To put an entire repository in PKGS_PRIORITY, you no more need to add
':.*' after the name (phenixia2003)
- Now ALLOW32BIT also auto-greylist the 32bit packages
- Added an install log in /var/lib/slackpkg/install.log; use
'/usr/libexec/slackpkg/makeinstlog.sh -t' to create a starting
install.log (it TRY to detect the repository)
- Added ALLOW32BIT flag to allow to install 32bit packages on a 64bit system
- setupmultilib.sh install only adaptative multilib by default
- Small fixes
- slackpkg+ 1.0 stable finally relased
- All repositories aligned to newest slackware version
- Documentation reformatting and some typo fix (thanx to idlemoor)
- Added function 'notification on event' that allow to insert reminders
when you install/ugrade/remove some packages. See slackpkgplus.conf samples.
(thanks to phenixia2003)
- slackpkg+ 1.0 release candidate 3. Last call. :)
- Added setupmultilib.sh in /usr/doc/slackpk+-*, an helper for configure
multilibs in slackpkgplus.conf
- Looks like we get a slackpkg+ 1.0 release candidate 2... but things are
pretty much nailed down at this point. Please test and report any last :D
- Updated some repository to 14.1
- Slackware 14.1 is coming up. I think that also slackpkg+ is ready so as
Slackware I mark it as rc1 :). slackpkg 2.82.0-11 added the 14.1 repositories.
Unfortuatly I don't know which third-party repository will contains 14.1
packages, so I can't add 14.1 to repositories.txt
- You can now ovverride SLACKPKGPLUS VERBOSE from command-line (as USEBL)
Version 0.9.7.4 - 24/Sep/2013
- Try a better way to detect the newest version of the same package in local
or remote directory (does not guarantees 100% success)
- Try to download CHECKSUMS.md5.gz.asc if CHECKSUMS.md5.asc does not exists
(as salixos repository)
Version 0.9.7.2 - 09/Sep/2013
- Added support for unrepositorized local directory in config file
- Added USEBL to temporary skip blacklist check (USEBL=0 slackpkg install..)
Version 0.9.7 - 05/Sep/2013
- Added install/upgrade/reinstall from disk with file:package.txz or dir:path,
and remote with {http,ftp,htts}://site/path/[package.txz], unrepositorized
packages. Please, read the README file.
- Disallow to choice the download manager; slackpkg+ require wget AND lftp
1) add http/ftp/https support.
for now only syntax:
slackpkg {install/upgrade/reinstall} http://site/repo/package.txz
2) use wget forzately
3) fixed a bug that does not allow to install from a directory
4) allow to uninstall packages even if you specify the '.txz' in
syntax:
slackpkg remove package-1-noarch-1.txz
Version 20130902.2 - 02/Sep/2013
- Added install from file or directoy:
slackpkg {install|upgrade} file:test-1.0-noarch-1
slackpkg {install|upgrade} file:./
You can optionally specify relative path or absolute path for file.
Version 20130902.1 - 02/Sep/2013
- Added install from file: slackpkg {install|upgrade} file:test-1.0-noarch-1
You can optionally specify relative path or absolute path for file.

Version 0.9.4 - 27/Aug/2013
- fixed a issue when a pattern is used multiple times in argument
- fixed a bug in install/upgrade regarding the enhanced priority
- fixed a bug in search which leads to wrong information about upgrade
- allow to to install/upgrade/reinstall/remove all the packages from
a given repository (thanks to phenixia2003 for big patch)
When a user search the package 'slackpkg', the grep match also
the prefix 'slackpkgplus_' in url.
Now the prefix is SLACKPKGPLUS_ so grep does NOT match (unless
the user search SLACKPKG, that does NOT exists).
- added config file checks
- fixed a bug that try to check gpg even if CHECKGPG is set to off
- fixed a bug that show compat32 packages as duplicated
- implemented 'slackpkg search'

full name
