pkg/slackpkg+-1.7.0d1-noarch-10mt.txz: Rebuilt
- Small fix in search packages
- Added httpdir/httpsdir/ftpsdir repository type. See documentation.
+-------------------------+

edit: sorry, 'ftpsdir' is a typo on the changelog. ftps is not supported; just ftpdir

Just wanted to say, the new progress numbers and terse mode are very nice. :-)

Thanks zerouno!

A minor suggestion for the TERSE option.

Earlier, it was easy to see previous package version as well as new one while upgrading.

Now, it shows only new one:

Code:

[8/56]	Package cifs-utils-6.10-x86_64-3_pam.txz is already in cache - not downloading
	Upgrading cifs-utils-6.10-x86_64-3_pam...
Upgrading:  cifs-utils-6.10-x86_64-3_pam: CIFS filesystem utilities ......................................................................................... [470K]

Suggestion:

Old Package version can be shown in line 2, ie:

Code:

[8/56]	Package cifs-utils-6.10-x86_64-3_pam.txz is already in cache - not downloading
	Upgrading cifs-utils-6.10-x86_64-3...
Upgrading:  cifs-utils-6.10-x86_64-3_pam: CIFS filesystem utilities ......................................................................................... [470K]

Pardon if this should be filed against slackpkg and not slackpkgplus. Thanks!

Edit-
It is a part of pkgtools (upgradepkg command), not an issue of slackpkg+.

set it in slackpkgplus.conf or use
DOWNLOADONLY=on slackpkg install ...

First off, I fully understand not fully supported. Looking for some clarification.

I have at least two kernel sets installed, the "latest kernel" and a "last working kernel". The "DOWNLOADONLY=on slackpkg install" correctly results in:

Code:

# USEBL=off DOWNLOADONLY=on slackpkg -dialog=off install kernel

Looking for kernel in package list. Please wait... DONE

[ Repository               ] [ Package                                  ]
  slackware64                  kernel-huge-5.4.28-x86_64-1.txz

This is not what I want. This is what I want and it works as expected:

Code:

# USEBL=off slackpkg -dialog=off download kernel

Looking for kernel in package list. Please wait... DONE

kernel-firmware-20200320_edf390c-noarch-1.txz
kernel-generic-5.4.28-x86_64-1.txz
kernel-headers-5.4.28-x86-1.txz
kernel-huge-5.4.28-x86_64-1.txz
kernel-modules-5.4.28-x86_64-1.txz
kernel-source-5.4.28-noarch-1.txz

With dialog on I can select the packages I want to download. In my case everything but firmware (already installed) and huge (not installed). All except firmware are blacklisted in /etc/slackpkg/blacklist. This allows me to run '# installpkg /var/cache/packages/slackware64/*/*.txz' to install the kernel packages.

I am making two assumptions, are they correct ones?

1. The slackpkg "download" option works as expected on slackware packages only. Regardless if slackpkg+ is installed or not.

2. The not fully supported part comes with the third party repositories.

Thanks.

zerouno · 03-28-2020, 06:15 PM

50% slackpkg+ code is based on the advanced priority subsystem. The download command does not invoke it, so it cannot be improved.

chrisretusn · 03-29-2020, 12:20 AM

Sigh... I am not asking for improvement. I guess I did not make that clear enough.

I understand that it is not supported in slackpkg+, I am 100% fine with that, and now I understand why. Thanks for that.

I was trying to show my use case of the download action, compared to the proposed solution and why that solution doesn't work. Maybe others could benefit from that example.

I was also asking if my two assumptions are correct, so I'll just go with no they are not correct.

I think a lot of people are not aware of how the "slackware download" command works, with or without slackpkg+. I'll leave that for another day.

I'm back!

download the testing version:

Welcome back! I nice weekend lock down present to play with.

I first tested with my normal use case; 'USEBL=off slackpkg download kernel', in the dialog list I deselect kernel-firmware and kernel-huge then hit Enter "< OK >". This is the result:
Note: the dialog wipes out the first few lines reported. I am also clearing the cache before each run.

Code:

# USEBL=off slackpkg download kernel
# after "< OK >", the following is produced:

Next I ran the same with "dialog=off" (and all kernel packages in this case)

Code:

# USEBL=off slackpkg -dialog=off download kernel

Thanks for the great addition to slackpkg. Wish my programing skills was enough to contribute more than testing. I am good with creating SlackBuild scripts and can figure out a lot of the code in slackpkg/slackpkg+, there are parts that are above my pay grade. <grin>

zerouno · 05-03-2020, 07:30 AM

temporary edit /usr/libexec/slackpkg/functions.d/slackpkgplus.sh

replace lines 917 and 918 with

Code:

      cc=$[$(echo $SHOWLIST|sed 's/ /\n/g'|grep -n $CHECKING|cut -f1 -d:)+1]
      [ $cc -le $qq ]&&echo -n "[$cc/$qq] " >&2

Well that's impressive. Tested all of the scenarios I previously tested above. Perfection.

Tested the TERSE part also, looks good.

chrisretusn · 01-23-2021, 10:45 AM

slackpkg - version 2.84.0_beta9 / slackpkg+ 1.7.0d1

With the last big slackware64-current update Fri Jan 22 19:17:44 UTC 2021 Mass rebuild. On issuing 'slackpkg upgrade-all' I noticed that the counter display before the dialog list (Preparing list) has a display clitch. When the count goes past [999-1524] the '[' is added to the display. Example:

Code:

Preparing list [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[1234-1524]

This is also repeatable with 'slackpkg search' for example when using 'slackpkg search slackware64'

I've notice this before, just now got around to reporting it.
