Gslapt not showing latest versions available

[sdboyd]

I'm running VL 6.0 Standard Final with xfce4 as my desktop. Gslapt shows that xfce4 installed version AND latest version as 4.4.3, and I know that somewhere on ftp.osuosl.org there is an xfce4 4.6.1 pkg available. I have tried several times clicking on the "Update" button, and Gslapt updates, but still shows latest version of xfce4 to be 4.4.3. I'm sure there are other packages too that Gslapt isn't showing the latest versions of. How do I fix this?

xfce-4.6.1 is in the testing repository. To install it you need to enable the testing repository first. You can do this either from Gslapt, or by editing the /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc file(just replace #DISABLED with SOURCE for http://vectorlinux.osuosl.org/veclinux-6.0/testing/).

Thanks! - That worked. Actually - it was the editing of slapt-getrc that worked. I had previously added that testing directory to the "Sources"  Tab in "Preferences" of Gslapt, but I got some error message when I updated. I replaced #DISABLED with SOURCE, and all is well.
