Something you might find interesting (or not).
I get patches from Oregon State University Open Source Lab using
wget:
Code:
wget ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/slackware64-14.1/patches/packages/php*
Just used the above earlier this morning; it gets
Code:
ls -1 php*
php-5.4.26-x86_64-1_slack14.1.txt
php-5.4.26-x86_64-1_slack14.1.txz
php-5.4.26-x86_64-1_slack14.1.txz.asc
(I keep all patches in
/usr/local/patches).
To get all available patches, get into a directory and
Code:
wget ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/slackware64-14.1/patches/packages/*
That won't get the kernel patches directory, you need to create the directory (
mkdir linux-3.10.17-2/),
cd into it and add the directory name to the
packages path:
Code:
wget ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/slackware64-14.1/patches/packages/linux-3.10.17-2/*
There might be a simpler way to do that but it's what I do.
OSU has really-go-fast servers (doesn't load down the Slackware server) and they maintain all active Slackware versions: source, packages, patches, etc.
Good place to get the stuff you need in one go.
Hope this helps some.
