Sun Dec 2 06:46:33 UTC 2018
---------------
- 2.84.0_beta1
- Allow blacklisting of individual packages without collateral
damage (e.g. glibc ---> glibc-*). This changes the prior behavior
of the blacklist function; previously, adding "glibc" to the
blacklist would cause glibc, glibc-profile, glibc-zoneinfo, et al
to be ignored by slackpkg. The new behavior is that *only* the
glibc package is ignored. If you want to blacklist all packages
whose names begin with glibc, you would need to add "glibc.*" to
the blacklist now. Also note that any special characters, e.g. "+",
will need to be escaped in the blacklist file. (David Woodfall)

characters that dialog can handle. If DIALOG_MAXARGS is unset we
use the traditional 19500 characters. Removing hints when
we reach DIALOG_MAXARGS *ISN'T A BUG* is a *FIX*. Without that,
upgrade from slackware-X to slackware-X+1 will be impossible.

---------------
- Fixed .new detection. (Thanks Stuart Winter)

version.
- More changes in install-new's ChangeLog.txt parsing

2009 Sun May 03
---------------

commands. The first one creates a template with all official
slackware packages installed in the machine. The template is saved
in /etc/slackpkg/templates. You can copy this template to other
machines and install it with install-template.
- Added a spinning bar to give visual feedback of slackpkg "thinking".
- SPINNING is added to slackpkg.conf. It can enable (on) and
disable (off) the spinning bar.
- Added USE_INCLUDES to manage whether template includes should be
processed by slackpkg.
- ARCH now needs to be in the same format of "uname -m".
slackpkg can change it automagically. If you need to override what

- MAIN is now handled internally by slackpkg. 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.

2009 Fri Apr 10
---------------
- Now use CHECKSUMS.md5 as primary source of package
names.

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your machine using an outdated mirror.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

Now slackpkg can handle tgz, tbz, tlz and txz.
Of course, this depends on pkgtools with the
same capabilities.

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

2008 Wed Jan 04
---------------
- Fixes in install-new.awk to catch more new packages

- 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

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

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

more logic, Y or y or <nothing> continues, any other key, quit.

(all these fix cames from mRgOBLIN)
- Another feature to "non-root" users... now they can use "info"

- Fixed a bug with VIM package (yes, the bug affect only
vim package...)
- A little change in makelist function. Now we got our speed
back... when fixed duplicate packages the fix make slackpkg
more slow (4 minutes to make list for "slackpkg upgrade slackware").
Now we doesn't have duplicated packages and have back our normal
speed (1 minute to "slackpkg upgrade slackware" list)
- Change version on all places to 1.03.1

2004 Tue Feb 18
---------------
- Now when we show a big package list, you can scroll with "more"
and can see all packages
- Bug fix! Something changed in FILELIST.TXT and slackpkg brokes
all package lists. Now it's ok.
(Thanx to chvt and Steven De Kock)
- New man-page provided by Rob. Thanx!
- Changed VERSION to 1.03

2004 Tue Feb 10
---------------
- We added a new system to make easy add new functions in slackpkg.
You only needs put your new function in a shell script and that
script under /usr/share/slackpkg/functions.d

With that, if you want GPG checking (example), you only needs
add one checkgpg function and rewrite/change the getpkg. It's
a nice way of extend slackpkg.

- Changed /usr/share to /usr/libexec. It makes more sense.
(Thanx thefallen)
- Fixed blacklist duplicate packages problem. Blacklist doesn't use
the default makelist function (now it uses).
(Thanx chvt for bug reports)

2004 Thu Feb 06
---------------
- Corrected a little bug in makelist option. Some packages are
duplicated in the list. Now it's correct.
- Put "update" in "case-esac". It is the only option in a "if-fi"

2004 Thu Feb 05
---------------
- Version are wrong in VERSION var. Now it's good.
- A lot of design changes. The "new" output style is a big mistake.
I am reverting slackpkg to the old one.
- We are splitting slackpkg in two parts. One with slackpkg functions
and other with the main program itself. It's really good.
- Put all options in a big "case-esac" instead multiple "if-fi"

2004 Mon Feb 02
---------------
- A new "sleep" test to solve problems in Slackware 9.1
- One tr -d "\r" to fix a bug in pkglist generation
(Thanx to Anatol)
- Added a new "clean" of tmp files in the slackpkg startup. It fixes
some ugly errors (slackpkg never-ends, slackpkg duplicate packages,
etc...)
(Thanx Lorn, toledo and gar0t0)
- Little changes in "info" now you will give an error if try to see
a "generic" info. "info" needs one package-name.

2004 Fri Jan 30
---------------
- Put a spinning bar when making one slow action. Thanx to toledo!!!
The code for spinning bar works really fine, and now our users can
see: "something is happenning..."
- Edit a lot of small things in everywhere to use spinning bar.
- man-page, README and other docs are "updated".
- fixed some sleep problems in slackware 8.1/9.0, now our program call
an internal sleep function

2004 Wed Jan 21
---------------

are not "downloaded".

- Ok, we remove kernel-* from blacklist and put in here a
message telling automated upgrade kernel-* isn't a good idea.
A lot of people tell me blacklist need to be empty... and i
approve that idea.
- Change the way of how detect packages that will be upgraded or
reinstalled. Old way thinks: package-1.2.3-i386-1 are the same
of package-1.2.3-i386-12345, now it's correct.
- Now slackpkg checks if the package is already in
/var/cache/packages before to download. If it's in cache, only
upgrade|install|reinstall, don't make a new download.
. Thanx Leandro Toledo
