[ RELEASE ] src2pkg-2.5 is released
 

A new version of src2pkg (2.5) has been released here: src2pkg all

The (noarch) package for Slackware is available here: src2pkg-2.5-noarch-2.tgz

Packages for deb or rpm-based distros, along with Slitaz or puppy Linux are found here: Other packages

This version includes only a few minor changes But, it's been a while since the last release so it seemed worth releasing.

Thanks, Gilbert. :hattip:

Src2pkg is a great tool. May you improve it forever.

Wonderful news! Thanks for your excellent work, Gilbert. :)

Hi,

Great balls of fire!

Thanks Gilbert!

I placed a reference link in 'So you want to be a Slacker! What do I do next?'
:hattip:

No obscenity, please, Gary. ;)

Hi,

Not obscene, checkout the song Brian! BTW, not a joking matter for inference here so do not post if you cannot be constructive.

Enough said!

:hattip:

Maybe 'large flaming testicles' would sound better??!! Or maybe the reference is to a fire department dance...

"May you improve it forever." I like that, but I am glad that most of my stupendous ideas for it have either been implemented or rejected -makes me less nervous at relase time. Most of the recent work has been aimed at the less-used features of src2pkg -like supporting other formats, package-splitting, etc.

I've also built a compact distro using src2pkg for everything except gcc and glibc. If anyone is interested or needs a reference src2pkg build script for some basic package, everything can be found here: Keep It Simple, Sir ... don't expect to find an installer or ISO's there, though -still to be done. A running system can be created, though, assuming you are pretty good at shoe-horning things...

Thanks a lot. Src2pkg saves me a lot of time.

Thanks Gilbert!

Get over yourself.

Hi,

This is constructive to the thread how?

It's constructive criticism, you're taking things too seriously. Lighten up. Slack off. :)

Next is merely my tiny, wee little 1/2 or 1/4 of a cent. But, of course, definitely, yes, do define for yourself, independently of me. And, let us be appropriately slack.

A or some kind or sort of a birthday (re [perhaps a birthday of] Gilbert's creativity that I'm so fortunate that he shares).

FWIW:

(I myself learned, BTW). Anyways, FWIW:

FWIW. Did I say FWIW yet?
