slackpkg with terse mode
by lemonade from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5Q8MQ)
Just finished a little research about "slackpkg upgrade-all" with terse mode. Im so happy because this whole thing was driving me nuts and upgrades wont be a visual nightmare anymore :)
It works with removepkg, installpkg and upgradepkg.
You can "upgradepkg --terse", its there in the man page but what about slackpkg?
I found the answer in slackpkg+ code (never tested slackpkg+, dont plan to use it in the near future... still cool project)
Code: TERSE=0 # note that TERSE=0 means TERSE ENABLED; undocumentated feature in installpkg(8)
export TERSEI dont know if it makes sense to modify slackpkg itself or maybe mention this hidden functionality in slackpkg's man page. This is what I did
Code:alias slackpkgterse="TERSE=0 slackpkg"
