[ANNOUNCE] src2pkg-2.1 released
I've released src2pkg-2.1 today after fixing a few issues which prevented compilation of the src2pkg-helpers on Slackware-current.
This release includes a very few other changes which have been incorporated over the last 3 weeks since the last release. Anyone running a system with glibc>=2.10 and/or gcc-4.4.x will want to upgrade to this latest release. The installable Slackware package is here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/...1-noarch-7.tgz Edit: The above link is updated from the original, after weeding out even more quirks with the 64-bit build of src2pkg-helpers. The ChangeLog is available here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/...2pkg/ChangeLog Thanks to LQ members ponce, zhoun, veall, mlangdn, and Daedra for reporting and/or testing pre-release packages until we (hopefully) got everything fixed. As usual, if anyone has any problems with src2pkg, I can be contacted directly at: < amigo AT ibiblio DOT org > |
thanks to you gnashley for the quick update :)
btw, for that package I tested src2pkg with, was only for testing :D your replies were interesting indeed, I'll try the methods you suggest :) |
Thanks for the upgrade and announce it right here. I'm already using it.
BTW: I receive this: Code:
Creating tar-1.13 - Failed! |
Hmm, still having problems... What version of Slackware are you using?
|
I use Slackware 13 - stable 64 bits but now I have KDE 4.3.1 installed.
|
New version installed fine and even successfully created a partitionmanager package(how come?!) for me, but after reading Laodiceans post i did 'cat /var/log/packages/src2pkg-helpers-0.9-x86_64-1' and it only listed these files:
Code:
Code:
bash-3.1# src2pkg --setup |
I'm going back to src2pkg-1.9.9. I used it before and it works.

Thanks again gnashley!

Hi,
Same error (tar) here on Slackware64-current. eddyvp |
Thanks for reporting fellows - ponce has been helping out by running some tests and I think we have found the problem with tar-1.13.
I would like to mention, though, that even if the build fails for src2pkg's 'private' copy of tar-1.13, it will just use the copy already installed with teh Slackware tar package. This is why the src2pkg-helpers build doesn' fail and exit if the build of tar-1.13 fails. And, in fact, the same is true for the build of coreutils-5.2.1 -scr2pkg will just use the normal copies on your system. libsentry is the only thing that is cosidered essential. Even it could be done without, but it would limit the INSTALL_TYPE options of src2pkg. And, src2pkg is set up to not run if libsentry is not found. I'll send out the latest changes to a couple of those have been testing to make sure we have gotten all the problems resolved before updating and announcing here. |
Tks! I hope seeing this new version working fine. I use a lot your software, it is very nice and useful.

For what it is worth, today's issue of distrowatch
suggests that: Quote:
the "get slack" web site lists the latest edition as 13.0, which dates, I don't recall exactly, from last summer, or early Autumn. It may be worth a minute of time to update the version, once the bugs are worked out, else, to put a one liner at the "get slack" web site, reminding folks who visit the site, that the "current" version, is actually NOT the version described in the most recent issue of distrowatch. Thanks, CAI ENG |
Thanks gnashley for your excellent work. Installing now. :)

Still working on some errors -this has to work for a wide variety of systems, so it is not so easy and takes some testing. The worst is that I have no 64-bit hardware to test with. I really should break down and buy some 64-bit hardware or setup a qemu installation for the purpose.

My kernel is 2.6.29.6 with Slackware 13 64 bits with upgrades until Sat Dec 19 00:09:53 UTC 2009.
