pkg/slackpkg+-1.7.4-noarch-2mt.txz: Rebuilt
- doinst.sh does remove CHECKSUMS.md5 instead pkglist
- fix slackbuild
- shorter pause after some warning
- suppress some check-updates warning when run as non-root user
- Improved ZLookKernel:
Monitor other than vmlinuz (i.e. vmlinuz-generic)
Run it from cmdline directly
Configure it to ask less confirmation
Better documentation (open the zlookkernel.sh to read it)

pkg/slackpkg+-1.7.4-noarch-1mt.txz: Rebuilt
This release does not introduce feature on the core; just add a section to
configuration file to enable some currently hidden feature.
- Added plugin section. Now we can enable or disable sperimental plugin
from configuration file. Currently we have two plugins.
- ZLookKernel: help you to rebuild the initrd and install lilo or EFI elilo
- ZChangeLog: generate a changelog for all repository at every 'update'
process
pkg/slackpkg+-1.7.3-noarch-1mt.txz: Rebuilt
Starting from 1.7.1, slackpkg+ no longer supports Slackware 14.2 (i.e.
slackpkg-15.0). It advice you to downgrade to 1.7.0. Now we can fix some
things that can break the backward compatibility.
- from 2.84.0_beta1: Use CHECKSUMS.md5.asc to determine ChangeLog newness
- from 2.84.0_beta11: check-updates change the messages and print the
"no updates" in stdout and "updates available" in stderr. If you are
using automatic scripts be sure to fix it.
- now both work properly with slackpkg+
+-------------------------+
slackpkg-15 non longer use to download ChangeLog.txt to check
for updates before print
"No changes in ChangeLog.txt between your last update and now."
both in 'update' and 'check-updates' commands.
It download CHECKSUMS.md5.asc that is smaller.
Unfortunately that broke slackpkg+, so as workaround it did force
to download both the ChangeLog.txt and CHECKSUMS.md5.asc
It did work, but it did force to redownload all other files even if
no updates available.
slackpkg+ 1.7.3 use the new strategy properly.
to do that I needed to change the order of execution of code.
Also now it works if you disable the gpg check.
Another important backward incompatibility of slackpkg-15 is the
output of 'check-updates'.
old:
"No news is good news" on stdout
"News on ChangeLog.txt" on stdout
new:
"Slackpkg: No updated packages since last check." on stdout
"Slackpkg: Updated packages are available since last check." on stderr
slackpkg+ 1.7.3 uses the same messages.
Since slackpkg+ 1.7.1 and above no longer supports slackware 14
(i.e. slackpkg 2.82.1), some of that fixes could broke the ability
to downgrade it and user may need to downgrade manually.
