I have decided to ditch swaret, and go with slapt-get, compiled and installed it just fine, and edited the slapt-getrc file, then ran slapt-get --update , and things seem to go well, but at the end it tells me to correct sources, and try again...I don't understand why..

PS, I am still running 10.0 , and I don't want to update to 10.1 I just want slapt-get to update to newer 10.0 stuff... and I can't really give show the contents of slapt-getrc , so someone who works with slapt-get at least give me an idea what to look for , then I post it , and see what needs to be modified..

I use linuxpackages.net as one of my sources. That plus slapt-gui makes for easy updating and new software additions.

Code:

# See /usr/doc/slapt-get-0.9.9h/example.slapt-getrc 

# for example source entries and configuration hints.

WORKINGDIR=/var/slapt-get

EXCLUDE=kernel-.*,alsa-.*,lilo,.*-[0-9]dl$,devs,aaa_elflibs

SOURCE=ftp://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/pub/slackware/slackware-10.0/

SOURCE=ftp://ftp3.linuxpackages.net/pub/Slackware-10.0/

SOURCE=http://software.jaos.org/slackpacks/10.0/

hrmm, my file doesn't look like that, this is all I have, under the sources. (at the beginning, since after that is the unofficial sources, which i have commented, and then mirrors listings) also, where did you get the gui, and how did you set it up?

Code:

# working directory, local storage/cache

WORKINGDIR=/var/slapt-get





# exclude package names and expressions

EXCLUDE=kernel-.*,alsa-.*,lilo,.*-[0-9]dl$,devs,aaa_elflibs

# * to exclude pre and beta packages, add this as an exclude:

# [0-9\_\.\-]{1}pre[0-9\-\.\-]{1}

# To exclude architectures such as i686, use the following:

# [\_\-]+i686





# base url to directory with a PACKAGES.TXT

# can point to any release, ie: 9.0, 10.0, current, etc

# you should really choose from an example mirror url below

#SOURCE=ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-8.1/

#SOURCE=ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-9.0/

#SOURCE=ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-9.1/

I found a faster mirror than slackware.com and used that instead of the default source

As for slapt-gui...

Official site
linuxpackages.net package

i don't think the mirrors are the problem, the problem is that when it goes through the --update stage, it doesn't show any failures, but at the end it says to rerun --update again, and I can't figure out why.. :scratch:

Code:

root@hideyoshi:/# slapt-get --update
