Happy Tuesday everyone - Bear with me while I set up the question:
I recently decided to start following current (x86_64).
I have both slackpkg and slackpkgplus installed (and basically configured the way I have them on my 14.2 host, which is on different hardware than concerns my current question). The slackpkgplus configuration is so I can follow packages from SBo, AlienBob (including some of AlienBob's restricted packages) as well.
I decided to get up to date with the Dec. 25 Changelog
Normally, I just issue:
Code:
slackpkg update
slackpkg upgrade-all
But I noticed that some new packages were recently added.
So, I issued:
Code:
slackpkg update
slackpkg install-new
I found it odd that I was given a choice to install
opus-1.1-x86_64-1 from my configured AlienBob repository,
when I was expecting to find
opus-1.3_beta-x86_64-1 from my chosen slackware mirror.
I ended up issuing:
Code:
slackpkg install opus-1.3_beta-x86_64-1.txz
(which worked just fine), and now I don't see the AlienBob version (which is ok). But my questions are the following:
Why didn't opus-1.3_beta show up in my original install-new list?
Now that I've installed it, why don't I see opus-1.1 from AlienBob?
(Ultimately I guess my question is why do these two packages sometimes seem to be different versions of the same package, and sometimes not?)
Under the theory that my slackpkgplus.conf settings are driving this, here are what might be relevant from there.
Code:
PKGS_PRIORITY=( restricted:vlc restricted:ffmpeg alienbob )
REPOPLUS=( slackpkgplus restricted alienbob )
My real ultimate question is how do I make sure that I haven't missed any install-new opportunities?
Also, I have never been interested in multi-lib and it is not involved.
TIA
Also, for everyone who believes, I hope Santa was good to you.
