SlackBuilds.org (sbo) FAQ(15):
|
|
|
|
|
Slackware current is not supported, but as a general rule, the scripts
|
|
|
|
|
should work on it as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rworkman's (rlw) repository use dependencies where displayed in central site
|
|
|
|
|
'http://rlworkman.net/pkgs/' and only those. Unfortunately there is no fixed reference
|
|
|
|
|
dependencies file PACKAGES.TXT.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Slackers.it (slackr) repository must be used only from Slackware64 current users.
|
|
|
|
|
Also find in some packages will not show package description when you run the command
|
|
|
|
|
'slpkg -p slackr <package>' and this is because there is not constant reference to the
|
|
|
|
|
description of the file 'PACKAGES.TXT' as in other repositories. Some packages reference
|
|
|
|
|
dependencies not included in the repository. This can be checked if you run the command
|
|
|
|
|
'slpkg -t slackr <package>'. (Example: noticed that the package 'digikam' indicate
|
|
|
|
|
dependence 'ffmpeg' but that is not available from the repository itself).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Slackonly (slonly) repository contains no dependencies on file PACKAGES.TXT and this makes
|
|
|
|
|
it difficult to automatically resolve dependencies and in the file PACKAGES.TXT and some
|
|
|
|
|
lines with 'PACKAGE NAME:' there is no package so 'slpkg' can not find package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Studioware (studio), Alien's ktown (ktown), Alien's multilib (multi), Slacke E17 and E18
|
2015-01-08 08:26:58 +01:00

and Alien's restricted repository has no reference dependencies.

Slackel.gr (slackl) repository must be used only from Slackware current users and has the
|
|
|
|
|
same peculiarities in the repository 'slackr'.

Custom repositories:
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
There is the possibility of adding the repository directly from the user enough to address
|
|
|
|
|
up to be the 'PACKAGES.TXT' files and 'CHECKSUMS.md5' least. If not is there for file
|
|
|
|
|
'ChangeLog.txt' will get warning messages that the 'ChangeLog.txt' file can not be read but do
|
|
|
|
|
not worry, the process is completed normally have each time you run the command 'slpkg update'
|
|
|
|
|
the package lists for such a repository will be recreated from start automatically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sometimes you may experience some problems with these repositories such as the not correctly
|
|
|
|
|
resolve dependencies, and this may happen some specificities separate list which unfortunately
|
|
|
|
|
can not be calculated, good is the purpose of mentioning these problems.
