# # $Id: ChangeLog,v 1.27 2010/01/04 07:39:50 gf Exp $ # v3.90 - 04 January 2010 Fixed libcap check to work on Slackware64 v3.80 - 20 May 2009 Updated to allow upgrade with newer (LZMA) package compression v3.70 - 10 July 2006 Update file generation is further sped up Added progress indicator and host status after update file generation Added log file for each host updates v3.60 - 06 July 2006 Update file generation was sped up by factor of 3 Added --verbose option to see what packages will be upgraded A bug was fixed that prevented --gen command from working after --sync v3.50 - 20 December 2005 Added possibility to use per host package ignore lists v3.40 - 31 January 2005 Fix check for aaa_elflibs package. v3.30 - 29 January 2005 Do not try to upgrade aaa_elflibs package. As Patrick says, this package should be installed initially and then never upgraded. For more info see Slackware-current ChangeLog from Mon Jan 24 20:41:03 PST 2005 An example has been added on how to use slackcheck to update packages using Slackware CD (see config.sh) v3.20 - 02 June 2004 A bug was fixed that was preventing correct checksum validation when two packages have the same names but are in different directories. A bug was fixed that prevented updating system that has no modutils installed. v3.10 - 06 January 2004 Fix stupid bug that prevents --local from working when slcheck is run from root account. v3.00 - 05 January 2004 New option that allows upgrade of local machine only. Help was improved by adding more examples and better description of available program options. A workaround has been added for the aaa_elflibs package in -current. v2.80 - 05 September 2003 A workaround has been added for the module-init-tools package in -current. v2.70 - 12 June 2003 A workaround has been added for the utempter package in slackware-current. v2.60 - 25 May 2003 A workaround has been added for the coreutils package in slackware-current. v2.50 - 18 Apr 2003 Rewritten detection of updated packages. The logic now is less error prone. v2.40 - 09 Apr 2003 Use CHECKSUMS.md5 from / directory. This allows patches/ directory to be scanned also. Please update your config.sh file! Fix wrong md5 sums file generation. Don't use non-verbose mode for wget. It's broken in the latest wget release. v2.30 - 16 Mar 2003 Remove checks for program existence if xxx_CHECK features are not used. Replace hardcoded check for wget with correct check for $DL_PRG. v2.20 - 11 Mar 2003 Added workaround for sed. Longer explanation: sed was split out of bin package so upgrading bin package caused pkgtools to stop working. The workaround prevents this by checking if sed is useful after each upgradepkg. v2.10 - 10 Mar 2003 Added "smart upgrade". When this function is enabled, slackcheck will run 'lilo' when lilo or kernel packages are upgraded. Without this your system can be left unbootable. Fixes for MD5 and signature checks. v2.00 - 07 Mar 2003 This version works correctly with Slackware 9.0rc1 and above Upgrade script is now template. This allows easier customizations MD5 sums and digital signatures of the packages are checked before upgrading Important packages (glibc, elflibs) are upgraded first In case of error (checksum, no free space, etc) upgrade is stopped immediately List of hosts can be set using --host or --file switches v1.00 - 05 Jan 2003 Download package list from slackware mirror Generate "smart" upgrade scripts that download packages Automatic upgrade mode - this allows easy upgrading of many machines at once Manual upgrade mode - just copy upgrade scripts to machines
