With the attached patch I propose some modifications to the install options of Slackware installer:

full - Install everything except KDEI. No questions, no series selection.
minimal - Install a minimal system without prompting. Internally it generates tagfiles in /tag/minimal using a minimal.template in /usr/lib/setup and then switches to tagpath mode.
server - Works the same way as minimal and installs about 2G of software. Apache PHP mariadb samba postfix dovecot ...
series - Prompts the user to select series and then installs everything in selected series.
menu - First prompts the user to select series an then displays individual package selection menu for selected series.
custom - No change.
tagpath - No change.
help - WIP

You can try the netinstall.iso.

Cheers

Pat,

Please consider adding /etc/default/sysctl:

Code:

# /etc/default/sysctl

# Parameters to support /etc/rc.d/rc.S.
# Use this file to override defaults.

# -e Use this option to ignore errors about unknown keys.
# --system Load settings from all system configuration files.
# -q Use this option to not display the values set to stdout.

SYSCTL_OPTIONS="-q -e --system"

rc.S:

Code:

# Configure kernel parameters:
SYSCTL_OPTIONS="-e --system"
if [ -r /etc/default/sysctl ]; then
  # Source user defined variables.
  . /etc/default/sysctl
fi
if [ -x /sbin/sysctl -a -r /etc/sysctl.conf ]; then
  echo "Configuring kernel parameters:  /sbin/sysctl $SYSCTL_OPTIONS"
  /sbin/sysctl $SYSCTL_OPTIONS
elif [ -x /sbin/sysctl  ]; then
  echo "Configuring kernel parameters:  /sbin/sysctl $SYSCTL_OPTIONS"
  # Don't say "Applying /etc/sysctl.conf" or complain if the file doesn't exist
  /sbin/sysctl $SYSCTL_OPTIONS 2> /dev/null | grep -v "Applying /etc/sysctl.conf"
fi

Adding the -q reduces boot spew but using /etc/default/sysctl allows users to decide.

In the latest Sun Aug 19 23:59:17 UTC 2018 update, the asc file for kernel-modules is missing, thus causing slackpkg updates to fail for this package.

We can have another xf86-video-ati update from its GIT repository? https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/dr...video-ati/log/

Last changes introduced more robust mechanisms for preventing nested drmHandleEvent calls and consolidates the TearFree logic.

And from my (already 3 days long) tests, this is translated in layman's terms as a faster 3D and a better TearFree behavior when someone chose it instead of using a compositor like Kwin (from Plasma5, aka "no effects") - both specially useful while using budget Radeon graphics cards.

In other hand, I do not think that those changes can have unexpected side effects, because practically they are backports from AMDGPU video driver and the previously noticed bad interacting of GLAMOR with Intel SNA should not appear again, as the GLAMOR logic is barely touched.

Also, apparently that was in fact produced by some issues in the main GLAMOR code from Xorg, as they was fixed by 1.20.1 which merged the two GLAMOR patches previously adopted.

Finally, please note that similar improvements are applied to AMDGPU video driver: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/dr...eo-amdgpu/log/

So, probably is useful to update it too from GIT.

Very nice. This could be a good default answer for all those guys asking for "minimal install".

Thanks for sharing!

t/texlive-2018.180820-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
Compiled against poppler-0.68.0.
texdoc fixed - a cache file was missing
synctex header was missing (for building third-party apps)
xindy was broken - recompiled from source

Mhm, the update misses the synctex-patch, the updated texmf_get.sh etc. which are in the texlive.txt(tar) in the post above.

In doinst.sh.gz i changed

Code:

chroot . /usr/bin/fmtutil-sys --all 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null

to

Code:

chroot . /usr/bin/fmtutil-sys --missing 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null

as this is executed multiple times on upgrades.

Bibtexu is part of the omega-project, which is excluded as it's most likely not used by anybody since many years, so --disable-bibtexu may be added to texlive.Slackbuild as i also removed it in texmf_get.sh.
https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2010-May/025996.html

In slack-desk, i removed "texlive-fonts" as this is now part of texlive-extra on SBo, and texlive-fonts doesn't exist anymore.

I also got mail about the doc-symlink from /usr/doc/texlive/doc to /usr/share/texmf-dist/doc which only contains "latex". This is intentional:
-the koma-script package forces by liceence to ship the documentation( doc/latex/ ...)
-all the docs from texlive-extra and texlive-docs are there, if those packages are installed.

franzen · 08-22-2018, 03:21 AM

doinst.sh from texlive contains

Code:

( cd usr/bin ; rm -rf man )
( cd usr/bin ; ln -sf ../share/texmf-dist/doc/man man )

This breaks "man", sorry.
A workaround fix is to remove the symlink in within the buildscript, but i'll fix this within texmf_get.sh.

Make the keyboard selection in the installer for 15.0 more descriptive and intuitive. There might be some new users that is not familiar with the terms qwerty/us.map, azerty/fr.map +.

This script should also be available in pkgtool-Setup with the option of setting the locale as well. This is something some users might have challenges with after installation.
