how to make slpkg install slack-current packages ?
by pisti from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4VNXQ)
i can't make slpkg install packages for the CURRENT release although i changed the relevant variable in slpkg.conf (by using plain emacs instead of slpkg -g edit) :
Code:RELEASE=currentfor example, i want to upgrade the currently installed emacs version emacs-26.3-x86_64-1 to the newest one such as emacs-26.3-x86_64-3.txz
my command would be :
Code:slpkg -s slack emacsbut - oh horror - slpkg wants to go with the slack142 version of emacs which was v24.5 :
+Code:+==========================================================
| Package New Version Arch Build Repos Size
+==========================================================
Installing:
emacs-26.3 24.5 x86_64 2 slack 39708 K
Installing summary
===========================================================what do i do wrong ? this problem vexes me now for months. actually, i don't know if slpkg would install 26.3 or 24.5 ? that's unclear to me, and i didn't dare (yet) to type yes and let slpgk install something wrong...
