slackware64 current custom et ready iso

ponce · 07-17-2009, 11:43 PM

hi fellas!

i'm installing slack64 current everywhere so, to make my life easier, i'm preparing a custom iso every time repo gets updated with some addons:
- 32bit compat libs (prepared for slack64 by Slamd64 people)
- additional packages i built for my own use, including wine, adobe reader and openoffice (the italian version, but you can easily build another from installed system in your language installing this package)
- an hack for enemy territory to have alsa output (for using at the same time teamspeak, listen to music, etc.) and two additional 32bit compat libs to use it.

if this can be useful also for you it's here

iso - content - md5
(you can check from the changelog if it has been updated

)

builds: taken mainly from slackbuilds.org, some from slacky.eu, just a few others and some patches from me.
if you want to build something from here you can't launch individual slackbuilds (they need the environment variables in Addons.options, if you are brave you can try adding a ". /path/to/Addons.options" to the script), you have to:
- edit variables in Addons.options as you prefer
- then Addons.Slackbuild deleting lines for omitting compilation of some parts
- start building everything with Addons.SlackBuild
I've done this slackbuilds setup because this way I can recompile everything easily whenever I want.
Took the idea (and copied and pasted the code) from kde slackbuilds

alternatively you can simply grab code diffs and patches you need.
here is a .tar of the build root.

P.S. if there's any problem redistributing such iso please let me know

Thanks for your contributions.

I have a computer that I am giving to someone here to use. They've
never used a computer, much less owned one, so the only packages
that I need to build specifically for Chinese are Firefox, Thunderbird,
OpenOffice.org 3.1.0, and maybe QQ.

I've built Firefox-3.5.1 Chinese, but my last Slackpkg of OpenOffice
for Chinese seems to be 2.2.1. So I downloaded your package, made
a few small changes, and it seems to have worked just fine:

Code:

root@china:/home/mahui/build/openoffice/usr/src/openoffice-autobuilder-multilang/builder# sh openoffice-multilang.SlackBuild
[WARNING] you'll need about 1200MByte in /tmp/tgz to build this package [WARNING]

all done. bye ;)

I'm not entirely sure what to do with everything in this directory:

Code:

root@china:/home/mahui/build/openoffice/usr/src/openoffice-autobuilder-multilang/builder# ls -l /tmp/tgz/

-rw-r--r-- 1 root  root    1798167 2009-07-18 11:23 pdfimport_no_license.oxt

but given time will probably figure it out. Maybe the install took care of that:

Code:

root@china:/tmp/tgz# installpkg openoffice-zh-cn-3.1.0-i586-19sl.txz

If anyone is interested, here are the changes I've made to your
openoffice-multilang.SlackBuild to build a Simplified Chinese version:

Notice that I had to use "zh-cn" for the ISOCODE, rather than "zh-CN" in your isocodes file.

I launched OpenOffice Writer and it seemed to work fine,
though I only typed a little bit then exited. If there
are any problems once the person begins using it, we
will report back. I don't anticipate any.

Your work, and those other people you mentioned, is what makes
the OSS community so much better than the proprietary choices.

tnx for your tnx, but the openoffice-autobuilder is a work of submax, from slacky.eu forums, i only added built italian package to my iso

Bruce Hill · 07-19-2009, 09:44 AM

I see slack.eu mentioned a lot around Slackware land, but since I can't read Italian,
I don't get the benefit. Maybe you could report to the script writer that little issue
about the Chinese isocodes. It keeps the script from downloading the image. I had already
downloaded the file because I was going to use my SlackBuild script for it. When I started
with yours, I put the source in /tmp/tgz but it still would not run until I changed the isocode.

ponce · 07-19-2009, 10:37 AM

tnx for your report, I just reported back the issue right know to the scripter

FYI: the network segment where is hosted the iso is temporarly down, should be back soon

Bruce Hill · 07-19-2009, 10:43 AM

Yeah, I noticed that a few hours after I got your pkg.

ponce · 07-20-2009, 04:58 AM

submax says that there's something additionally wrong with iso code name for zh-cn and that will look for fixing it, and also that the two cp errors are harmless.

btw, iso is updated at today and up again

submax · 07-23-2009, 03:56 PM

new builder v20 fix this problem

thanks for feedback to all!!!

i'm happy just to have eased a little someone's else life

just trying to ease at the same time work to real packagers (I can say I'm a newbie in that), having done work myself to find/create/test working 64bit patches/build scripts for that software
