Slackware64, Multi-lib and upgrading to -current

March 20th, 2010

Some of you may read this and go, “DUH you fucking idiot”…., and for others might go… “Oh SHIT, thanks for the reminder!”.

A couple weeks ago I decided to upgrade to -current. One thing I forgot about was what I did when I first installed all the multi-lib packages. I blacklisted all the glibc and gcc packages. So during the upgrade, none of them got upgraded to currents version and I was running into weird problems when trying to compile some of the programs I make SlackBuilds for.

So, if you are upgrading to -current and have multi-lib packages DON’T FORGET to also grab the -current multi-lib packages before dropping to telinit 1 to update or just remove the blacklisting from slackpkg if you use that to update/upgrade between versions like I did.

Huge update for a lot of my SlackBuilds

March 20th, 2010

I’ve been running -current ever since the huge list of updates hit the changelog. With bash 4 out of extra, it’s only a matter of time before -current hit’s stable and everyone is on it. Because of this, it requires many of us who build sloppy SlackBuilds and/or missed things (I’m guilty of this), to go back and fix them because bash 4 says, “FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU”!!!!!

The two major things I’ve ran into with my builds and other builds are:

Man pages. There were no man pages to copy but the line to do so was there.
The “strip” lines not having “|| true” at the end. Read more here, http://slackbuilds.org/faq/ @ #19.

I have fixed, updated and tested the following packages all on Slackware13, Slackware64-13 and Slackware-current:

frei0r, goocanvas and pygoocanvas

These packages only needed the two above fixes. frei0r will probably not receive a version change unless a huge bug is found or something stops working etc. etc.

mlt

The MLT Framework got an update to 0.5.2 besides the above fixes.
