Alternative update approach to slackpkg - request for testing/feedback
by GazL from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5Q7S2)
I've been revising/polishing a couple of scripts I use to keep my slackware system updated and I think they're about ready for a wider audience now.
The README pretty much explains what and how they work, so I'll not repeat it here, but to pique folks' interest, they
I'm open to questions if anyone has any, and feedback is welcome.
Cheers.
The README pretty much explains what and how they work, so I'll not repeat it here, but to pique folks' interest, they
- are non-interactive.
- do not use/store any metadata or database, outside of those pkgtools already use.
- support multiple package sources, specified via a simple config file: which is just an ordered list of directories/URLS.
- support local and remote package sources, which may be mixed.
- will gpg verify if requested.
- has a blacklist feature
- has a per-package post-install-script feature.
I'm open to questions if anyone has any, and feedback is welcome.
Cheers.
