Sync to current.. ;) sync.sh. -------------------------------------- mkdir -p current; cd current; rsync -rv --delete-during --exclude=source --exclude=extra/source --exclude=slackware/kdei rsync://ftp.scarlet.be/slamd64/slamd64-current . >~/tmp/slamd64.current.log 2>&1 rsync -rv --delete-during --exclude=*gz --exclude=*.tar.* --exclude=*.rpm --exclude=*.bin rsync://ftp.scarlet.be/slamd64/slamd64-current/source . >>~/tmp/slamd64.current.log 2>&1 -------------------------------------- Upgrade after backing up /etc and /home and anything else custom. The slackware directory is a symlink in /root. To where, you should know.. ;) -------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash upgradepkg /root/slackware/a/glibc-solibs-*.tgz upgradepkg /root/slackware/a/pkgtools-*.tgz upgradepkg --install-new /root/slackware/a/sed-*.tgz upgradepkg /root/slackware/*/*.tgz -------------------------------------- Redirect everything to a logfile and check after the upgrade. Put this in /root/.bashrc -------------------------------------- alias checklog="grep -v '^+' upgrade.log |grep -v '^|'|grep -v Deleting |cat -s|less" -------------------------------------- Enjoy.. I am up to current from 10.2 with this. I have slackware 11 and slamd64 11, for use in day job. When I reboot between them, a quick rsync between two home partitons sets everything right.. > Do you use NetBSD's pkgsrc with sland64? Does it work well? No. I don't have CPU power enough to keep compiling things. And I never found anything similar to checkinstall on netbsd pkgsrc. I wish/hope that is easy enough to be done. But I don't find lot of time for experimentation, especially if it involves rebooting. Regards Shridhar ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
