Swaret Failure!


I went and downloaded swaret, and then i went to http://shilo.is-a-geek.com/slack/swaret7.html and followed the directions on configuring it, and then i did the first command swaret --update and it failed, I tried it again, and it still failed, how do i remedy this before moving on to the next phase in swaret? (here is the output of swaret --update )

root@yoritomo:/home/ieyasu# swaret --update
swaret 1.7.0test4-1

The mirror "ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/slackware/slackware-cureent"
should be: "ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/slackware/slackware-current"
That was what rotvogel said. See slackware-cureent slackware-current difference.

A quick note, since you are following my guide. I now prefer to leave the linuxpackages.net repo commented out. That, and you need to edit /etc/swaret.conf. Replace "www.swaret.org" with "swaret.sourceforge.net".

Are you sure you want to update with current? That's the development version. (Asking in case )

www.swaret.org isn't anywhere to be found in the config , also, if VERSION=current gives me updates to developmental versions, then is it ok just to leave it to 10.0?
