[SOLVED] slackbuilds rebuild needed 14.0->14.1 ?

Stuferus · 11-08-2013, 06:07 AM

hi,

the question may be stupid but ill ask it anyway - also for newbies to slack.

does one need to rebuild its slackbuilds programs on upgrade of slackware?

sry for my maybe bad english.. its not my native.
greatings.

Maybe, depending on the program.

That is, programs who have dependencies from 14.0 that are not present in 14.1 (or have changed dramatically) will need a recompile.

It is probably safer to recompile all SlackBuilds on your system after upgrading.

i always do a clean install of the new Slackware version and rebuild all I have from SlackBuilds.org

I do that as well. Two of three Slackware 14.1 installs completed yesterday without a hitch. Will do the last install tonight. The good people at SBo will release new slackbuild scripts in the near future.

use the basic rule: If it's NOT broken, don't fix it

i know what he meant. SOLVED.

i hope this is helpful for others/newbies to slackware with the same question in mind.

ill wait for slackbuilds to go to 14.1 than i upgrade.

Won't a new libc version also cause problems?

for those that rebuild SlackBuilds.org packages, do you have some sort of script that runs through all the packages to update from SlackBuilds.org and then builds them? some of the programs I have have a nightmare of dependencies that require too much manual work to rebuild.

Use sbopkg and the queue file
