A great method for keeping Slackware up-to-date...without slackpkg.

H_TeXMeX_H,

I decided to go with checking the signature of each package with gpg as shown in the script. It works pretty well!

Regards,

I like that you guys are learning lots here and also that this script gets to look more like slackpkg every day =)

Only 400 more lines to go.

Mine is only about 43 effective lines of code (without extra 'echo'), and it's gonna stay that way unless someone wishes to add to it.

I don't use all the features of slackpkg anyway, just 'update and upgrade-all' ... which I have implemented here.

Just an update, probably the last one, because the script is finished, I added support for auto-generating a blacklist if you don't have one ... basically with the packages you don't have installed. I think this is the last version, because it does everything I want it to and nothing more. I learned a lot while writing it too. (check my site for it)

Nice work!
