Have a great weekend, Maurice... :) Always nice to chat with
you...

Agreed. Take care of yourself and I am sure we will be chatting in
the near future.

i recovered my sluckware :)

blacklisted slackpkg update and kernel* updates, hope not to see it again with any breakage from precompiled problems

Hey Benny!

i recovered my sluckware :)

A very good idea. Myself I am toying with the idea of installing slackware64-14.0 on a virtual drive and redoing it as a pure C, pure 64-bit nondistribution just for fun. Either that or doing something similar with the 15.0 alpha except in that case it will have to be C/C++. Either way {,usr}/lib64 has to go.

I'll have to take your word on that as I've never used any of that before and have no plans to use it in the future. Everyone I know that uses slackware also builds their own kernel as the first step after booting to a fresh install.

As for other distributions who cares?

Life is good,
Maurice

if i just could compile amiga os 64bit, we wont be here :)

yes i belive slackware really need gentoo portage, not just precompile build converters to ebuilds from slackbuild scripts, its sad to see notes on blacklist what not to blacklist, was a hint on what to do if it breaks from 14.x to 15.x :)

install this tarball, and do a ldconfig solved it for me, it have to be done fully without slackpkg in the first place, then after ldconfig all should work again

then do the remaining part as

slackpkg update

edit mirror file and make sure we keep 64bit !!!!!

slackpkg upgrade-all
slackpkg install-new
slackpkg clean-system

if new kernel do

lilo

reboot

As for other distributions who cares?

gentoo is more simple :)

It's just pining for the fjørds.

gentoo is okay but it isn't slackware.

Gentoo is cool but it is not simpler by any means.

Hey Richard!

Gentoo is cool but it is not simpler by any means.

I think in the case of comparing linux distributions it is a relative term and often comes down to what an individual is familiar with. In my case I started with Slackware back in the mid 1990's which was before Gentoo and others even existed.

gentoo can use precompiled aswell if its needed, with slackware its just reversed in a bad way imho

Obviously my cat did a better job of it than you did with your so-called latin-1 defective reply. :::shame on you:::

How so? They appear to have gone above and beyond what is called for and much sooner than the gentoo people did. If anything is reversed it would be whatever approach you and possibly gentoo itself is advocating as being the hallmark of a linux distribution.
