Thanks Niels Horn - Added Slackware key configuration to x86_64 architecture - Added remove-template, install-template and generate-template to usage function 2009 Mon May 04 --------------- - Fixed .new detection. (Thanks Stuart Winter) - Renamed the "CHECKPKG" variable to "CHECKMD5" (and changed the relevant command line options; this is more appropriate for what the function does (it checks md5 sums of the packages), and it's easier to tell the difference between it and CHECKGPG at a glance. (Thanks Robby Workman) - Added check to see if slackpkg.conf version matches slackpkg version. - More changes in install-new's ChangeLog.txt parsing 2009 Sun May 03 --------------- - Added generate-template, remove-template, and install-template commands.

You can no longer change this variable using slackpkg.conf. - PKGMAIN is set by slackpkg to the appropriate value for your ARCH port. - SLACKKEY now can be set in slackpkg.conf. Usually slackpkg will handle this automagically. - FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, and FIFTH are replaced by a single array: PRIORITY. The contents of those five variables now are inside PRIORITY array. - Added support to Slackintosh with the inclusion of "mac" series. - Some changes in install-new's ChangeLog.txt parsing - slackpkg.conf bumped to version 2.8 - updated slackpkg and slackpkg.conf manpages 2009 Sat May 02 --------------- - Released as slackpkg 2.71.1 2009 Sat Apr 25 --------------- - Fixed parsing of .t[blxg]z extension in packages with tgz, tlz, tbz or txz inside file name.

Man, we don't stop! 2009 Fri Apr 10 --------------- - Now use CHECKSUMS.md5 as primary source of package names. - Check if FILELIST.TXT is newer than last update. That will prevents you to accidentaly downgrade your machine using an outdated mirror. - Added a lot of new security checks - check CHECKSUMS.md5 against CHECKSUMS.md5.asc - check FILELIST.TXT against CHECKSUMS.md5 - check all downloaded .asc against CHECKSUMS.md5 (CHECKSUMS.md5.asc is excluded of this check) 2009 Tue Apr 07 --------------- - Added support to other package extensions. Now slackpkg can handle tgz, tbz, tlz and txz. Of course, this depends on pkgtools with the same capabilities. 2009 Mon Mar 23 --------------- - Put findutils to be upgraded before glibc-solibs. I think this is wrong. But for some strange reason findutils brokes if glibc is upgraded first. - Packaged and relased as 2.71beta3 (hope last) 2009 Wed Mar 18 --------------- - Non root users can use "check-updates" command in slackpkg - Show to user if using FILELIST.TXT or CHECKSUMS.md5 as package lista source. - Added ONLY_NEW_DOTNEW variable to slackpkg configuration file (and -only_new_dotnew to command line).

Some packages are missing from install-new list. 2008 Sat Jan 19 --------------- - Not released. Bugs everywhere - slackpkg info doesn't work (info was using deprecated PATTERN variable) (reported by redhate) - slackpkg update corrupts file lists and package information. Now all the files are first in TMPDIR before goes to WORKDIR. (reported by redhate) - slackpkg download isn't in new command line parser. (reported by redhate) - Fix all commands to doesn't work without a configured mirror - Fixed some format errors in "usage" 2008 Fri Jan 18 --------------- - Fixed an error when checking GPG key.

(thanks rworkman!) - Removed backticks `commmand` and using now $(command) (thanks rworkman!) - Fixed many en_BR bugs in docs and configuration files (thanks again rworkman!) 2008 Wed Jan 09 --------------- - A new command line parser, much better than the older one. Now you can override slackpkg.conf configurations from command line: slackpkg -checkpkg=off upgrade-all Will disable the checkpkg feature. Many slackpkg.conf can be overrided using that. You can also specify a different mirror, using -mirror=URL/ - Additional check to see if "which" is there - Added "new-config" option, it will search for .new files and ask to user what to do with them. (suggested by X-Gizmo) 2008 Wed Jan 07 --------------- - Added BATCH and DEFAULT_ANSWER options in slackpkg.conf, you can use those two to make automated upgrades without human intervention. (suggested by Clayton and many others). 2008 Wed Jan 04 --------------- - Fixes in install-new.awk to catch more new packages 2007 Sat Jun 09 --------------- - Removed "httpd" from the hardcoded list. It isn't needed. - Released the 2.61 2007 Tue Jun 05 --------------- - Fixes in almost all slackpkg messages and in README file (Thanks Robby Workman!) - Included (I) to ignore duplicated files... well, this can burn your computer... but who am I to don't let you do that? (Thanks Robby Workman, again) - Included httpd in hardcoded install-new files. - Bumped the version number to 2.61 2007 Sun May 27 --------------- - Back to the xargs combo in dialog-functions. --file doesn't works in slackware 10.1. - Fix some bugs in file list generation. Some declarations like: local VAR=`something` doens't works well in older bash (in 10.1). This bug generates a lot of "dialog" bugs. I hope they are fixed now. - Better error handling in dialog-functions. Now we can detect when dialog fails and print one error message. 2007 Tue May 15 --------------- - Added one / before ${NAMEPKG} in check md5sum. It prevents a match with vim and vim-gvim (and possible other packages) and subsequent m5sum errors. (Reported by Diniz Bortolotto) - Swap some "ls" uses by -e to check if one file exists - Changed the way of error treatment. Now we have: . One log of what package gives error . What error happens in each package . Not install one package if the GPG signature is OK but md5sum isn't (maybe a corrupted package?) . Shows all logged errors when slackpkg ends. 2007 Tue May 08 --------------- - Correct the release date of 2.52 - Change version number to 2.60 instead 2.60beta - Added one tip in slackpkg's man page telling about slackpkg upgrade slackware - Released slackpkg 2.60!! 2007 Wed May 02 --------------- - Added fontconfig in the hardcoded install-new packages - Make install-new to search only in the main slackware series. No more /extra and /pasture packages - Changes in dialog functions. To prevent some strange errors we use grep -m1 to use only the first match and --file in dialog to prevent bizarre xargs errors (reported by many) - Fixes in sanity-check function to discover duplicated packages. (Thanks Sasha Alexandr) 2007 Sat Mar 17 --------------- - Change VERSION to 2.52 instead 2.52beta - Added a test do detect old slackpkg.conf versions - Added hardcoded dialog and aaa_terminfo in install-new - Released slackpkg 2.52!! 2007 Mon Mar 12 --------------- - Changing NOGPG to CHECKGPG. Is more coherent with the other options. Thanks Robby to point that. - Many update and grammar fixes in documentation. (Thanks again Robby Workman!) 2007 Mon Jan 05 --------------- - Fix many errors in "install-new". It didn't found any package with [A-Z] or [0-9] in his names. - Still in "install-new", now we can detect more new packages, the awk script is a lot better now. - Correct the .tgz parsing in pkglist.awk, using \.tgz instead. - Newer (and i hope, good) man-pages. 2006 Wed Nov 08 --------------- - Fixed the "upgrade" package parsing. It was going wrong with nn and glib packages. (Reported by Ralph Alvy) - Fixed "reinstall" it was ignoring the blacklist and given wrong packages to reinstall. - Now blacklist can handle directories beginning with a / and not with ./ (very better, and this is the needed behavior). - Accept the list of packages from a file (e.g.: slackpkg upgrade /etc/slackpkg/files) We accept relative (./something, ../something) and absolute paths (/something). - Release 2.51beta 2006 Sun Oct 29 --------------- - Fixes to install/upgrade (it was broked when i change the tmplist). Now it's OK - Fixes in remove and reinstall, they are showing duplicated entries in the list. Now it's OK - Fix in download... it was total crazy! Now it's OK - Added install-new.awk and improve the ChangeLog.txt parser now we don't have any package hardcoded. - Fix in upgrade-all to remove the unused variable NAME now we can use the data in pkglist. - Minor fix in clean-system. - Change the variable's scope to "local" in many functions 2006 Sat Oct 28 --------------- - Change the tmplist format to be the same as pkglist - New functions to make the package list with that we now can: - Handle multiple files in the command line. (e.g.: slackpkg upgrade kernel x11 lsof) - Use the package series as the pattern, without the trailing / hack. (e.g.: slackpkg remove a) - "download" don't use the blacklist. The user now can download one blacklisted package. - Release slackpkg 2.5beta 2006 Fri Oct 27 --------------- - A lot of job rebuilding (again) the package parser. This is the logic that search for apropriate packages and see if that packages are or not in blacklist. This is the harder piece of slackpkg development. For now we made: . a new pkglist.awk that creates a really new and more featureful pkglist. The new slackpkg can't work anymore with the old pkglist. . One blacklist function that can match: . directories . package-names . package-names with version . package-names with version and arch . package-names with version, arch and release. . This fix a problem with some packages being override by others with "similar" names. (e.g.: k3b being override by k3b-i18n) 2006 Thu Oct 26 --------------- - Create the WORKDIR variable and put all package and file lists there. Now ppl that wants to mount / read-only can do that. (Thanks to Trevor Caira) - Added a little bit of sanity in slackpkg.conf. Now all options uses "on" to be activated and "off" to be deactivated. No more "1", "0", "On", "ON" and all the chaos that we had before. (Thanks to Robby Workman) - Added one FIFTH directory. Now people can use /testing as a repository, too (of course this will break a lot of things) - Added one MAIN variable. This is used instead slackware to identify the main distro directory. - Move /etc/slackpkg/filelist.awk to /usr/libexec/slackpkg. This is the correct place to a executable. 2006 Mon Aug 28 --------------- - Fixed a problem with upgrade-all when try to upgrade directly from 10.2 to 11rc3. xargs can only handle 20k lines. - Changed version to 2.09 - Released 2.09 2006 Sat Aug 26 --------------- - Fixed a typo in ChangeLog.txt message (Thanks Cameron Willians) - Fixed two problems in install-new: bug0: install-new duplicates packages bug1: install-new doesn't catch lm_sensors package we wasn't ready to handle packages with a _. 2006 Wed Aug 23 --------------- - Fixes in blacklist.new, nothing more. - Released a repackaged 2.08-3 2006 Fri Aug 18 --------------- - Fixed typos in manpages - Changed version to slackpkg 2.08 - Released 2.08 2006 Thu Aug 17 --------------- - Revert the "typo fix" and now "Formating" is "Formatting" again. - A little fix in install-new to better handler the newer packages - Big fixes in new priority check 2006 Mon Aug 14 --------------- - Released 2.07 2006 Sun Aug 13 --------------- - Added another test to solve problems with "install-new" and no ARCH match.

Is very easier to see the news now. - Changed the version number to 2.07 2006 Tue Aug 08 --------------- - Changed the function that give priority and check the blacklist in install, upgrade, reinstall, download and upgrade-all - Blacklist now supports blacklist entire directories. 2006 Wed Aug 02 --------------- - Fixed a typo in "Formatting". Now is "Formating" -;) (Thanx Devin J. Pohly) 2006 Fri Jul 28 --------------- - Added xfsdump (hardcoded) in install-new - Change the list generation in install-new to handle Renamed and Split files. - Change copyright notices to include 2006 - Released slackpkg 2.06 2006 Thu Jun 08 --------------- - Added acl, attr and dmapi (hardcoded) in install-new - Changed the list generation in sanity_check.
