Hear hear! UUOC is not U if it makes the script more readable.

Hi,

Could the mozilla-{firefox,thunderbird}.SlackBuild be actually changed to use:
Code:

echo "ac_add_options --enable-optimize=\"${OPTIMIZE}\"" >> .mozconfig
instead of:
Code:

--enable-optimize=$OPTIMIZE
in the OPTIONS?

--enable-optimize=$OPTIMIZE does not seem to like when multiple flags are specified.
Even when adding parenthesis like this: --enable-optimize=\"$OPTIMIZE\"

Best regards,

If that, then why not
Code:

  echo "darkstar.example.net" > /etc/HOSTNAME
  /bin/hostname $(/bin/cat /etc/HOSTNAME)

Since you proposing Fully Qualified Domain Names and /bin/hostname is a full path. Let's be consistent here. :)

EDIT: Or perhaps better ...
Code:

  echo "darkstar.example.net" > /etc/HOSTNAME
  /bin/hostname --file /etc/HOSTNAME

...and some error checking.

Hi,

I installed Slackware-current 64-bit to a netbook with an eMMC-drive last week. There were two issues concerning the eMMC-drive:

(1) The installer recognized that I was installing to a UEFI-system, however: the installer offered to configure a boot partition on the /dev/sda drive, which was the installation media. The installation was done onto the eMMC-drive which was located on /dev/mmcblk0, and I had to configure the EFI-boot partition by hand therefore.
(2) I generated a mkinitrd-command using the mkinitrd_command_generator.sh script. However, I had to add the following module to the generated mkinitrd-command, which was not automatically included: "mmc_block". Otherwise the created initrd was unable to read my eMMC-drive.

It would be great if the installer/mkinitrd-command could automatically infer these options. I see in the changelogs that the kernel has been upgraded since, so perhaps these points are no longer relevant.

Other than this, the system is running very well :)

1. This is "fork" is not "fork" of Slackware Linux. :-D :-D :-D

1.1 RTK GNU/Linux uses its source tree. This is 100%. :-)

1.2 RTK GNU/Linux from Slackware Linux is uses only package management system and style, "spirit" Slackware. :-)

1.3 Some rc-scripts work differently. :-)

2. RTK GNU/Linux maybe not work under virtual emulators. :-\

3. This is an old project that contains certain non-closed errors. :-\

3.1 In to S.C.R. (this another my "homemade" project) used Slackware Linux Current source tree (stopped on 14.1, since began to have discrepancies in source tree.).

4. Do not mind it. I cited this as an example, which may result of the maintainer of your favorite distribution don't to include something in the distribution. :-D :-D :-D

5... I'm reborn RTK GNU/Linux. Really. If this has any interest for you, then we can discuss it in a separate topic. :-)

IMHO. Good idea for include in to Slackware Linux - volumeicon. :thumbsup:

1. This is worked on all xdg-specs-compilant Window Managers.

2. This is for Slackware users who use only ALSA. :thumbsup: A native Linux sound-system for working with sound. :-) :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

3. May be used with any ALSA-mixers (I'm use alsamixer) such as aumix. ;-)

initscripts and namespaces
 
Can we have init scripts spare processes running in other namespaces when stopping services? It's a PITA when you do "/etc/rc.d/rc.httpd restart" on a host and it kills apaches in all the containers.

Things like pidof/ps|grep (for choosing what to) and killall/pkill (for killing) are usually too broad when dealing with containers.
I usually do "pkill --ns $$ (...)"

For example (bind):
Code:

Unfortunately most initscripts (if not all) need some lovin' to get this fixed.

Let's upgrade wireless-tools from version 29 to version 30-pre9. Or better yet, to the source maintained by Debian.

Version 30-pre9 is a beta release from 2009, but fixes bugs which have been present in version 29 for years.

I contacted the author about maybe making V30-pre9 an official release, but he told me
Quote:

I'm sorry, but this won't happen. My Wireless LAN testbed has long be dismantled, so I can't do the testing I would need.
Further, the Debian version contains many fixes that would need to be integrated.
At this point, please consider the Debian version as the official version.
The Debian sources are linked on this page: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/wireless-tools

FWIW, (almost) everybody else is doing it: https://repology.org/metapackage/wir...tools/versions

util-linux documentation fix:

  Documentation/releases/v${VERSION}-ReleaseNotes \
  Documentation/*.txt Documentation/rfkill.readme \

P.S. It's a good idea to split util-linux into separate packages:

util-linux
adjtimex
setserial
zip-tool

This is exactly what I did first.

Slackware does not split packages into sub-packages. That's something of other distros.

1. Yes, this is what I love in Slackware.

2. adjtimex, ziptool and setserial is no part of util-linux. This is extra source archives.
3. ziptool and setserial - maybe don't need into another platform, such as arm.

4. I ask you to pay attention that I did not say a word about bsdstrings and ddate - in their separation from util-linux I really do not see any sense. :-)

5.1 ...And provides surrogates, such as: aaa_elflib, aaa_terminfo, and others... :-D :-D :-D

Didier Spaier 03-30-2018 11:54 AM

Here is another example.

Gathering several sources for one package, or splitting a source in several packages or providing a package for each source is just a matter of convenience for the maintainer of the distribution.

This has generally zero consequence for the end user, so what is the rationale for your request? Do you have in mind a situation or use case where changing the current packaging would help?
