Ok, got it Mara, thanks!
Need to download kernel-source and place it in correct location.

P.S.
For now I am using r8188eu module, manually loaded. Its available in kernel-modules package but its a staging module, so performance or stability may not be up to the mark.

I will also add the kernel-source-x.x.x-noarch-1.txz package to the following assemblies

That will be useful. Thanks and kind regards!

I created a mirror of this:

http://mirrors.aptalaska.net/slackware/slarm64/

Right now I'm pulling a dir list from http://dl.fail.pp.ua using lftp and only downloading new files, but if sndwvs would rather me use rsync of something, please let me know.

Anyway, I also added this:

http://mirrors.aptalaska.net/slackwa...schu-packages/

Which has a package with a kernel that boots on a raspberry pi 4 as well as the kernel-headers and kernel-source directories.

I also included a number of other of my own packages, which include the kernel modules and userspace for ZFS.

The readme.txt shows you how to get it all installed, and it's really nothing more than making and formatting partitions, extracting the slarm64 rootfs, then manually installing the kernel package. I can go from zero to a pi4 running slarm64 with ZFS in under 15 minutes.

I'm using this as a backup node. I attach a small external disk to my pie, then zfs send my file systems to it every few hours to have an offsite backup.

That sounds great.

I was wondering in what usage you see the more benefits to have that running instead of official Slackware-arm?

Thanks akschu for using slarm64 and for the mirror.
if it’s more convenient for you to use rsync, it’s better to use it.
add a mirror to slackpkg

rsync would be best. Please contact me at:

echo "schu/schu;net" | sed 's/\//@/' | sed 's/;/./'

Regarding rsync access.

Thanks,
schu

I'll go for rsync too, OSDN is VERY slow!

added build:

• k/kernel-source
• k/kernel-headers
• k/kernel-generic
• k/kernel-modules

created a separate slarm64 build system repository based on original Slackware build scripts

build qt5-5.14.0-aarch64-1mara.txz
deps

• libxkbcommon-0.9.1-aarch64-1mara.txz
• sdl_sound-1.0.3-aarch64-1mara.txz

build qt5-webkit-5.212.0_alpha3-aarch64-1mara.txz

Hi Mara (sndwvs),

Should I replace kernel-*-rk3399 (board specific) packages with above ones?

Thanks.

Hi aaditya,
no it's not worth the vanilla core.

Ok Mara. Its a generic kernel for devices where board specific kernel is not needed.

To prevent board specific kernel packages being upgraded, I added in /etc/slackpkg/blacklist:

Thanks.
