Please provide me tasklist file, /var/lib/attitude/tasklist

Sorry, tasklist has been cleared. But after yesterday's improvements, I noticed a big increase in the speed of the program. And what about new-config command?

Thanks

I do not envision slackware doing 32 bit x86. It has no real future and the amount of work.
over 90 percent of all machines today are x86_64 cpu's.
It does not make since to keep this huge burden up.
I can see a partial 32 bit still being maintained like most distro's.
Or like Alein Bob's.

thanks for all the cool scripting man.

Currently I am working on slackman (my own tool for install/uninstall packages).
But I want to know what is expected functionality.

Thanks for reply.

Multilib support is optional. It is possible to maintain pure x86_64 bit system.
Do not configure x86 bit and alien multilib repo.

Thanks for reply

Slackers,

Here is an update, please check (Slack) Attitude.

Added BackupPkg for upgrade/reinstall/remove. And enabled by default.

NOTE: Please create backup directory. "/var/lib/pkgtools/backup/" (OR) "/var/log/backup/".

I tried to implement complete package backup functionality. I tried to create "Slackware Install-able Package".
Without using makepkg. Because I want to maintain exact file permission.

Tar file is created using,

Code:

tar cf backupath.c_str() -C rootdir.c_str() --no-recursion -T filepath.c_str()

.

And .txz file is create using,

Code:

xz -c backupath.c_str()

Code:

NOTE: During backup, tool will overwrite/create .new file and delete afterwards it.

Please try it.
Now I am working on slackman tool.
Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance

Slackers,

Here is an update, please check (Slack) Attitude.

I have added preference functionality.

Here is my sample configuration file.

Code:

# Sample Configuration file: /etc/attitude/preference
slackware:testing/packages/PAM/
slackware:extra/pure-alsa-system/
slackware:extra/aspell
slackware::/mozilla-firefox
alien/vlc-

Rule1 : If you want to add branch then do not put the '/'.

Code:

slackware:testing

Rule2 : If you want to add preference only for specific packages then configuration will be:

Code:

alien/vlc

Rule3 : If you want to add directory then add '/' at the end of configuration.

Code:

slackware:extra/pure-alsa-system/
slackware:testing/packages/PAM/

This thread is used for version 1.0.0.
If anybody want to put suggestion for version 2.0.0 then please check this thread.
