hahaha, maybe I boiled in too many ideas in one sentence.
Don't feel dumb.
I am programmed to be nonsensical as well as making you feel dumb.

Please Check the slackpkg-plus-plus-0.0.1/

Need your suggestions.

Happy Slacking...

I have had to dig in the archive to have an idea what I should do after compiling.

why you don't use autoconf or a similar tool.
You assume clang is already installed, not a C++ compiler.

How am going to test without breaking my install of slackware??

Is it going to clash with pkgtools??

slackpkg++ --help does not work either

jheengut · 02-13-2018, 02:11 AM

Code:

slackpkg++  update
error: slackpkg++: /etc/slackpkg++/sources/: No such file or directory

is this a problem

I now realise I had to do a

Code:

make remove

This is the first time, I saw a syntax like that, great initiative but I do not think it will be picked up.

Code:

 make 
/usr/bin/clang++ -g -lncurses -o slackpkg++ slackpkg++.cpp
/usr/bin/clang++ -g -lncurses -o source-filter source-filter.cpp
root@****:~/build/svn/slackpkg-plus-plus-code/slackpkg_plus_plus-0.0.1# make install
chmod a+x refresh-cache source-filter update-helper verify-packages verify-update file-search-tool new-config-script
mkdir -p /var/tmp/slackpkg++ /var/lib/slackpkg++ /usr/libexec/slackpkg++ /etc/slackpkg++
cp -iv refresh-cache source-filter update-helper verify-packages verify-update file-search-tool new-config-script /usr/libexec/slackpkg++
'refresh-cache' -> '/usr/libexec/slackpkg++/refresh-cache'
'source-filter' -> '/usr/libexec/slackpkg++/source-filter'
'update-helper' -> '/usr/libexec/slackpkg++/update-helper'
'verify-packages' -> '/usr/libexec/slackpkg++/verify-packages'
'verify-update' -> '/usr/libexec/slackpkg++/verify-update'
'file-search-tool' -> '/usr/libexec/slackpkg++/file-search-tool'
'new-config-script' -> '/usr/libexec/slackpkg++/new-config-script'
cp -ir ./etc/* /etc/slackpkg++
touch /var/lib/slackpkg++/tasklist /etc/slackpkg++/blacklist
cp -fv slackpkg++ /usr/local/bin
'slackpkg++' -> '/usr/local/bin/slackpkg++'

Code:

slackpkg++ update
/usr/libexec/slackpkg++/refresh-cache: line 79: /tmp/slackpkg++.0s9epO/tag*/pkglist.source: No such file or directory
cut: tag*/pkglist: No such file or directory

it is updating, I have no idea at which speed, the files are being download, and where they are being downloaded, I could use axel in some scenarios to accelerate the download .

I also don't know why the error tag*/pkglist appeared.

This tool uses upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall and removepkg as low level utility.

This tool is in alpha stage, packages consistancy checking is not implemented yet.
But this tool will not break your system.

'--help' option is working properly on my system.
Please provide the more details for testing.

In my previous post, I had provided details about functioning of tool.

Issue about refresh-cache error: This is first time run issue.
This is implementation issue. I am working on it.
Thanks for your replay.

This tool is using 'curl' command line tool (not curl library) to download the files.

According my idea I am trying to follow UNIX philosophy (or I am lazy programmer).

linuxxer · 02-13-2018, 07:52 AM

Code:

sudo slackpkg++

Above command start in ncurses mode.
Use ^@ to switch between window.

linuxxer · 02-21-2018, 12:09 AM

Slacker,

Just rename the tool.

Please check the slack-attitude.

Please read the README file for details.

Before moving further I need your suggestion.
What option/functionality you expect from new package management tool.

Thanks

linuxxr · 02-21-2018, 10:32 PM

hmmmmm.

linuxxer · 10-24-2018, 05:18 AM

Slackers,

I have update for this tool.

I am now actively working on this tool.

I have tested the tool on Slackware64 14.2 installation.
attitude and nattitude works properly.

I have issue with ncurses package available on Slackware64 Current.
This issue because of different version of ncurses.
I am working on it.

** New Feactures added **

1 . (Optional) Priority based package source selection
I have added priorirty based package source selection.
During installation, packages are selected as per assigned priority (if any specific package source is not provided on command line).
It means, user can override on automatic package source selection.

2. Curl based package/update download.
I have implemented wrapper for curl to download the files.

3. ./configure script is added.

4. SlackBuild script is added.

** Fucture Plans **
1. Implement attitude-installer own package installation tool.

2. Multilib support.

** Known Issue **
1. I had recently finished the curl wrapper implemention.
Some times (not always) download may pause at end of download.
I am working on it.

2. nattitude : ncurses based interface get Segmentation fault error with latest ncurses package available on Slackware64 current.

Please try this tool at OWN risk.

Need suggestion for future developement.

Thanks for trying this tool.....

hmmmm.
