Newly uploaded slackware packages

AceofSpades19 · 09-05-2010, 06:43 PM

Hi

I have uploaded some slackware packages to ftp://ftp.herpderp.ca/slackpkg/. These are packages that I haven't been able to find anywhere else and they are all built on a clean slackware 13.0 system using slackbuilds from slackbuilds.org. I will be uploading more in the future as I build them. Happy Slacking!

Just one minor comment. SlackBuilds.org request that you not use the _SBo tag
for public precompiled repos. Per our FAQ http://www.slackbuilds.org/faq/#package_repos
You can pass TAG="some_tag" to the build script or just rename them afterward.

All that said Thank You for sharing.

I renamed all the packages to get rid of the _SBo tag

Hi, you removed the SBo tag, but now your packages look like Slackware packages.
Tags can be very useful for finding out which out of tree packages you have on your system eg. like this:

Code:

ls /var/log/packages | grep [AceofSpades19tag]

I think its better to use some tag than none at all.

The packages' filenames aren't in the expected format either.

Hi,

Is there any guide/manual/how-to on naming packages? because just saying they aren't in the expected format doesn't help me at all

AceofSpades19 · 09-06-2010, 02:02 AM

I used the naming conventions from this guide to rename them so now they should be in the proper format

The external package name should conform with whatever name is in the slack-desc file. And, it's important to note that the package name-version-arch-build string is evaluated from right-to-left. This why you can't have any '-' characters in your version, arch, build or tag fields.
