[SOLVED] Plasma5 via slackpkg

Hi all,
I was just wondering if it is possible to use AlienBOB's Plasma5 mirrors to install and update Plasma5 via slackpkg?

Best

Thank you for the response. I have actually read the above link and can see how one would install/upgrade manually using the available tools. Can the repo be added to

Code:

/etc/slackpkg/mirrors

and the process automated by doing

Code:

slackpkg install ktown

?

Thank you

Well, not carefully

No... it doesn't say that. The correct place is /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf

Please read the blog post again (carefully) and follow instructions.

You'll have to use slackpkg+.

You should use slackpkg+ [0] for that. Just configure it with:

Code:

PKGS_PRIORITY=( ktown )
MIRRORPLUS['ktown']=https://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/14.2/latest/x86/

But read the instructions carefully first [1]. I have managed upgrading ktown with slackpkg+, but I have always installed it manually the first time (with the instructions from Alienbob) and I did not install all packages of ktown either.
