how to upgrade to slackware64_current only for specific folders in the mirror?
Hello.
I just installed slackware13.1 64bit but without kde/, kdei/ and some other folders from the mirror. Instead of this i installed lxde for being lightweight. Now i want to upgrade to current. But if i do install-new before the upgrade, will it install the other folders too ( for example kde/, kdei/ etc. )? Do i have to do pass some parameters to specify which folders from the mirror i need to upgrade? Or slackpkg understands that i want to upgrade only the specific folders from the mirror? |
The command "slackpkg install-new" only installs packages that have been added to the Slackware distribution since the previous stable release. That command will not install any package that was already part of Slackware but which you chose not to install. So, for your purposes it is the safe and correct command to run before "slackpkg upgrade-all".
In contrast, "upgradepkg --install-new" can be used with a series of package names as arguments, in order to upgrade what you already have installed, and install any of those packages that you did not yet have installed. Eric |
