hi,

i use soho 5.8 with kde.

i did a upgrade in slapt-get (updated the slaptgetrc-file)

but for instance there didnt show up the prog frostwire.neither i found it by manually checking slapt-get.

should i add a line in the file?

below are my active sources...


SOURCE=http://vectorlinux.cs.utah.edu/veclinux-5.8/packages/
SOURCE=ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/vectorlinux/veclinux-5.8/packages/
SOURCE=http://vectorlinux.cs.utah.edu/veclinux-5.8/packages

is it wise to ad www.slacky.eu to the file. if yes, what would be the correct path?

In your case, the line should go:

SOURCE=http://www.slacky.eu/repository/slackware-12.0/

but i use soho 5.8..it derives from slackware 11??

are you sure with slackware12??

The packages repository contains just packages that are already on 5.8 standard by default, so they're little use.
It doesn't make much sense to have 3 /packages/ repositories, all 3 should contain the same thing. But when you do a "slapt-get --update" (or the same thing in gslapt), it will download package info for 3 the same repo's. A waste of bandwidth and time .

Instead, try using

SOURCE=ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/vectorlinux/veclinux-5.8/packages-soho/   (vector 5.8 SOHO packages)
SOURCE=ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/vectorlinux/veclinux-5.8/patches/      (security update packages)
SOURCE=ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/vectorlinux/veclinux-5.8/extra/           (other tested packages)

but i use soho 5.8..it derives from slackware 11??

are you sure with slackware12??

You're right, it should be

http://www.slacky.eu/repository/slackware-11.0/
