...ty vulerabilities, but the box has been shelved in this time). anyhow, at this point, I can't do even a make clean in ports, or build portupgrade. I fetched portupgrade with pkg_add hoping that running pkgdb -F would sort things out, but it errors with: ** Error occured reading /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf: undefined method `+' for nil next steps? jason watkins

I have been reading the archives of this list and noticed a post from Murray Jorgensen asking about how to install R under slackware. The replies were all to the effect that he should compile from the source. There is another path that is better for some purposes. Download the red hat binary package, the .rpm file, then run rpm2targz on it, a slackware program designed to convert rpm packages

Hello, When I run portupgrade -ra and PHP needs upgrading I am faced with having to select all the options I want PHP compiled with (again). I hate this. How can I continually compile PHP with the same options as the last time? Thanks! Rick

The included patch is what I''ve been able to throw together in a few hours after studying the pkgtools code. All I''m using the library for at the moment is to resolve the proper base location of the ports tree, but at least by invoking make directly instead of through portupgrade it works *a lot* better. Is there a proper way to include/require a third party ruby library? The way it is...

We installed Samba 1.9.16p11 on our Solaris 2.5 Sparc server here and we are having some difficulty getting Windows 95 programs to access the Samba shares. Many of the programs work, and we are dedicated to using Samba, and we have a lot of stuff out there, and we are using it effectively. But we have a few problems with a few programs. One of the possible solutions to this problem is to upgrade

Hi Pino, Thanks for your reply and details. I started looking at the others package manager code and as I see it there is one main problem to port supermin to slackware distro. Slackware builtin package management tools (pkgtool and slackpkg) do not manage package dependencies. There is no easy solution to solve this problem. There are third party packet manager which manage dependencies but

I want to be able to make a USBbootStik for my laptop, as I repeatedly did for the now stolen PC. I've got a copy of the required 2009, Slackware13 partition, saved to a USBdisk. And I've located the 175-line: <make bootStik script> . Of course just "chroot"ing Slak13, won't allow <make bootStik>. But why can't someone here, provide the info to make an

Slackware 8.1 comes standard with samba 2.2.4. However, I wanted to upgrade to 2.2.7 and tweak samba, so I uninstalled it using the Slack package manager (pkgtool). I'm now trying to install samba 2.2.7 which I downloaded from us6.samba.org. './configure' ran fine, as far as I could tell. However, 'make' is giving me some errors. I have not been able to find any mention of

Hi! There is a little problem in the security/isakmpd port. There are some gen*.sh scripts in it, which generate some C header (and src) files. These scripts are using awk, tr, etc - some generic UNIX tools. One of the tools has problems with some localisations, so these scripts generate incorrect C-code. Eg, I have Hungarian localisation set, so I have the following in my environ:

I am trying to do an install of portupgrade. As root, I go to /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade and run make install distclean The system seems to obtain the pkgtools and some upgrades to it, but is unable to obtain the required bdb1-0.1.8.tar.gz.

Hi, I am trying to do a very minimal install of Slackware to run Asterisk on. Can anyone give me a list of what packages I need to install as I don't want X an all the associated bloat? Thanks in advance. Chris -- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

The files listed in the "old" USB are probably written by this script: http://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-14.1/source/a/pkgtools/scripts/setup.80.make-bootdisk or similar, which is intended to write a bootable USB stick to be used in case of emergency, e.g. if for some reason the installed system can not be booted by the regular bootloader. Here is the content of the only partition on boot script after having run the script...

What I was suggesting, is to let the user manage depencies himself. This is what slackware users are used to do anyway. It means that we should be able to provide an exhaustive list of needed packages on the command line. As the semantic differ from the usual treatment of the PACKAGES arguments of supermin --prepare, this could be managed by a new option implying "do not search or install
