Hello good afternoon everyone, I don't know if I'm reporting from the exact location.

I'm trying to install Kodi 21 through slpkg but I'm not succeeding.
According to information, a parameter must be passed into ffmpeg to be installed.

Is there any way to install Kodi 21 through slpkg by passing some special parameter? I don't know if I was explicit.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Yes, you are :-)

I think you are referring to this:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ml#post6495919

First, this workaround is only for Slackware-current

Honestly, I don't know
You can ask your question to Dimitris, here:

Thanks for the clarification marav, I already did it in the right place.

Thanks

Today I manually upgraded to slpkg-5.0.6
I want to share some infos:

a) If you upgrade from older slpkg version, after upgrade you must run

Code:

slpkg_new-configs

and then replace all old conf files with new.

b) The most important is if you are in current to enable correct repos for current.
here is an example of my /etc/slpkg/repositories.toml

Code:

# This is the general repositories configuration file of slpkg:
# /etc/slpkg/repositories.toml
# Updated: 18/04/2024, Version: 5.0.6

# Set 'true' or 'false' to enable or disable the repository you want.
# You can use a mirror not included in this file.

# Notes: Before using a repository, make sure you have read about it.
#        Some repositories are for -current only. Change the mirror
#        if it is necessary. The mirror or every part of the mirror
#        should end with a slash '/'.

# Template to define a binary custom repository.
# At least are required [NAME], ENABLE, MIRROR and TAG options.
# The MIRROR should include the files ChangeLog.txt, PACKAGES.TXT,
# and CHECKSUMS.md5. If the file ChangeLog.txt is located in
# a different branch, it should be set a variable CHANGELOG.
# Example:
# [NAME]
# ENABLE = true
# MIRROR = "https://slackware.nl/people/alien/sbrepos/15.0/x86_64/"
# CHANGELOG = "https://slackware.nl/people/alien/sbrepos/"
# TAG = "alien"

# Salix OS Distribution:
# Replace the SLACK, SLACK_EXTRA and SLACK_PATCHES with the mirrors:
# https://repo.greeklug.gr/data/pub/linux/salix/x86_64/slackware-15.0/
# https://repo.greeklug.gr/data/pub/linux/salix/x86_64/slackware-15.0/extra/
# https://repo.greeklug.gr/data/pub/linux/salix/x86_64/slackware-15.0/patches/

# This is the DEFAULT REPOSITORY.
# You can change it with one that you see below.
# Make sure you have enabled it before.
[DEFAULT]
REPO = "ponce"

[SBO]
ENABLE = false
MIRROR = "https://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/15.0/"

[PONCE]
ENABLE = true
MIRROR = "https://cgit.ponce.cc/slackbuilds/plain/"

[SLACK]
ENABLE = false
MIRROR = "http://mirror.nl.leaseweb.net/slackware/slackware64-15.0/"

[SLACK_EXTRA]
ENABLE = false

[SLACK_PATCHES]

[ALIEN]

[MSB]

[CSB]
ENABLE = false

[CONRAID]
ENABLE = true
MIRROR = "https://slackers.it/repository/slackware64-current/"

[SLACKDCE]
ENABLE = false
MIRROR = "https://slackware.uk/slackdce/15.0/x86_64/"

[SLACKONLY]
ENABLE = false
MIRROR = "https://packages.slackonly.com/pub/packages/15.0-x86_64/"

[SALIX]
ENABLE = false
MIRROR = "https://repo.greeklug.gr/data/pub/linux/salix/x86_64/15.0/"

[SALIX_EXTRA]
ENABLE = false
MIRROR = "https://repo.greeklug.gr/data/pub/linux/salix/x86_64/extra-15.0/"

[SLACKEL]
ENABLE = false
MIRROR = "http://www.slackel.gr/repo/x86_64/current/"

[SLINT]
ENABLE = false
MIRROR = "https://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-15.0/"

[PPRKUT]
ENABLE = true
MIRROR = "https://repo.liwjatan.org/pprkut/current/x86_64/"

slpkg by default is focused on slackware-15 if there are 15.0/current for repo.
Also some repos are only for current and slackware-15.0 user should be careful and not edit them to true.
example: CONRAID and PONCE. But I think if you have SBo=true then even if you have PONCE=true by mistake it not work...
Generally speaking need attention this file (/etc/slpkg/repositories.toml)

c) when everything is ok cmd

Code:

slpkg -u

for update and check , then u r ready!

marav · 04-20-2024, 10:16 AM

Nice summary rizitis

Plus:

To avoid conflict it's not possible to upgrade all packages from all repositories at once
But it's possible to check for upgrade with this command:

Code:

# slpkg -U -o '*' --check

Note:
I've been using it for a while now with "slack" as the default repo + "slack_extra" + 1 slackbuild (ponce) + 1 binary (conraid).
After spending some time helping Dimitris to make it usable with this kind of configuration, it works very well.
He does an amazing job

chrisretusn · 04-21-2024, 01:13 AM

I did it differently. Still worked, upgraded to 5.0.5 from 5.0.6.

Merged the changes in all of the configurations files. Paying particular attention to /etc/slpkg/repositories.toml since I use -current. Ran 'slpkg update' all was A-OK.
