The consensus seems to be.. "No, it's not yet time."

One reason many of us use Slackware is Patrick takes his time producing mother-f-cking stable systems. Most of us are not interested in rapid release or being members of some PR click-bait kernel-of-the-week update club. Update now!

Anybody needing or wanting the latest and greatest (ha!) software probably should use Current or another distro.

And when 15.1 comes out...

It's uncomfortable to plan for a derivative of or for third party projects related to a distribution that doesn't publish its plan, if it has one. But that's life.

You know, I spent the whole day until late tonight, doing a lot of crappy stuff on servers to get around problems
For what ?
"Because the production starts tomorrow at 7AM"

That kind of logic has no place anywhere and least of all here

It would appear that all we have accomplished over the last forty to fifty years is to drag the entire society down to the lowest common denominator.

Sorry! Old man moment. Sometimes I forget I'm in public and some people dislike colorful language. At least I wasn't in line at the DMV passing gas.

Sorry! Will check again which package it was. Openmpi-5.0.x needs some new Sphinx related things.

That's great software that saved me quite a few times.

Nevertheless I mainly used it from external bootable media. My liveslak media has it.

Sooooo. Not sure it worths the burden to add.

Well, there is an SBo for it so I guess that's good enough.

In post https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...6/#post6478113 BroX noticed that '*' expanded to "Argument list too long" in the removed_packages directory.

My removed_packages and removed_scripts only date back to 2018-06-22. (The oldest files in packages and scripts are 2009-06-01).

Code:

Thu Jun 21 22:58:42 UTC 2018
a/pkgtools-15.0-noarch-20.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Move pkgtools database to /var/lib/pkgtools/.
  Move removed logs to /var/log/pkgtools/.

I noticed at that time that removed_packages and removed_scripts were cleared but I thought they were considered not important enough to be kept. But now I read the pkgtools install script and saw that they were meant to be saved. There are two lines like this:

Code:

mv var/log/$directory/* var/log/pkgtools/$directory 2> /dev/null

The contents of the old removed_packages and removed_scripts directories were not moved because the command line was too long, and stderr was devnulled.

Fixed. :-)
