[Slackbuilds-users] updating dozens/hundreds packages/queues more easily/correctly weekly?
I installed more packages built from SlackBuilds.org (SBo) than urchlay (a few years ago 1150+, now more) and see after updates, some/many need most/all dependencies rebuilt but you never know until either building or using crashes. Is there a way to keep track and rebuild these without having to manually load dozens/hundreds queues in sbopkg (nor use its command-line)--I heard it may be easier with sborepo? I have no need for my own repository and want to avoid creating one (other than just a directory/folder) but are there instructions on updating more easily/correctly weekly just for users? ___ SlackBuilds-users mailing list SlackBuilds-users@slackbuilds.org https://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - https://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - https://slackbuilds.org/faq/

I asked oidentd maintainer (Mario Preksavec, mario at slackware dot hr ) when there'll be a new version, as it's many versions/years behind (about since Slackware 14.2 was new?) and he said he doesn't want to maintain it.

I noticed http://slackbuilds.org/templates omits '' at least in autotools-template.SlackBuild but many maintainers/staff also put that, and some don't put '': should variants be clarified in templates? Earlier this year I passed angband.SlackBuild to my friend/mentor Ben Collver and mentioned updating maintainer information at angband.SlackBuild top, but he's been somewhat busy so hasn't got to that. Some years ago (because I didn't want people seeing original maintainer first and bothering him) I removed 'Written by Marshall Scott [email]' but then read that's against policy so returned his line/name with style I saw SlackBuilds.org (SBo) staff use, noting originally copyright by him (copyright is automatic). Ben may be uncomfortable having copyright, so I emailed Marshall asking about formatting & potential change to WTFPL ( http://www.wtfpl.net/txt/copying , which is copyright not always said when linking WTFPL, because makes it equivalent to public domain except wherever organizations restrict/abuse public domain). Is a variant of format below suggested, and/or can staff perhaps advise Ben how to update right (I forgot if he's on this listserv/newsgroup or not)? I'd like my line to be updated to the below or whatever format (without my location/email) SBo staff say.

I tried to make habit of writing '[Slackware-current]' in subject lines. After over five years from Slackware 14.2 to 15, many/most people I know who do much with Slackware used Slackware-current several years, and so did I, which seemed stable enough 99+% the time, so I never switched back to Slackware-stable except spare PCs and chroots (SlackBuilding/testing, fallback). Slackware-current seems so stable that for years I often forgot I'm using it (more stable than Devuan/Debian/Ubuntu/Mint/KDE_Neon 'stable' versions I administer for users).

[Slackbuilds-users] nix broken
Slackware64 15-(stable|current) nix seems undocumented/broken . configure: error: Package requirements (lowdown >= 0.9.0) were not met: No package 'lowdown' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LOWDOWN_CFLAGS and LOWDOWN_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

[Slackbuilds-users] [SlackBuilds] plan9port overwrites system defualts (and that isn't documented)
I installed plan9port but it replaced defaults of many UNIX-type manpages such as util-linux's 'mount'... how do I get those back? I only wanted to try Plan 9 stuff, not have it replace default Slackware system/configuration! Please make plan9port not do that without user consent to options. ___ SlackBuilds-users mailing list SlackBuilds-users@slackbuilds.org https://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - https://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - https://slackbuilds.org/faq/
[Slackbuilds-users] [Slackware-current] sbopkg problems
If you don't use Slackware-current (many do use it) simply ignore this. As I and another on this mailing list stated in past, SBo-git sbopkg no longer works. Even after reverting from git to stable, sbopkg can find updates but no longer displays any queue submenu graphically, and now most/all sbopkg command-line commands/arguments/flags/switches just open sbopkg GUI. Someone wrote it off as 'something you did to your PC': clearly false as exact same happened to someone else so is some situation (maybe involving standard Slackware-current and/or Sbo upgrades) that may become common. It all even continues to happen even after I removed sbopkg 20220318_8bf4e6a and installed 0.38.2 ___ SlackBuilds-users mailing list SlackBuilds-users@slackbuilds.org https://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - https://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - https://slackbuilds.org/faq/

[Slackbuilds-users] [SlackBuilds] outdated Python builds (in general) including mathics dependencies (years-old) need maintenance or taking it all over
The mathics.SlackBuild depends on outdated Python: numpy (possibly not too outdated), sympy (many years outdated) depends on mpmath (I used to maintain... current maintainer keeps very up-to-date)... but what I mean now is numpy3, python3-sympy (& python3-mpmath)... seems these python3 when used for mathics (core not omnibus yet) result in it won't even run anymore (builds but is common python stuff deceptively 'successfully' builds except requires dependency different than accepted to 'build' (other times versions other than 'required' work). Is python3-sympy.SlackBuild still even maintained? Now that depends on something I used to maintain, I hope python3-sympy.SlackBuild will either be updated in reasonable time or someone (maybe me, maybe/hopefully not) can take over... SymPy is a significant library even mentioned on wikipedia.org/wiki/Python. Another option is if anyone likes Python (I don't) and wants to maintain mathics.SlackBuild it's quite likely I will give them it (as long as hopefully you're better at Python than me, which would be very easy). I regret doing Python SlackBuilds for various reasons including as soon as SlackBuilds.org (SBo) administrators updated the templates it seems they were already years outdated: I no longer see any Python projects actually using the old setuptools rather than the newer pip, but there's no pip template (which would be needed for mathics omnibus). --David Chmelik (abridged/legal Melik) ___ SlackBuilds-users mailing list SlackBuilds-users@slackbuilds.org https://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - https://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - https://slackbuilds.org/faq/
