Thanks for this wiki article!

Just wanted to pop in and express my gratitude for the wiki article on Internationalization:
http://docs.salixos.org/wiki/index.php/ ... ll_scripts

Re: [SOLVED] Chromium or Chrome?

It is not advised to mess with the included repsotories in Gslapt, unless you really know what you are doing; and if you are inclined to do that, you probably don't. The whole point of a distribution's repositories is they come tested and guaranteed. Some distros may not be too careful about that, ...

Re: [SOLVED] Chromium or Chrome?

Retriever , perhaps there are other methods, like adding repos to Gslapt. For example, I added the following repository to Gslapt, after reading http://forum.salixos.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=5251: Hi! I just start a project to make all slackbuilds in packages in a repository (later i will add a...

Re: Chromium or Chrome?

@retriever, I forget to mention, to upgrade the package to a newer version when it comes out, you can similarly download the new version from Alien Bob's repo, and do:

Code: Select all

spkg -u chromium-<new-version>.txz
to upgrade the package.

Re: Chromium or Chrome?

@ mimosa , I think the Slackbuild for google-chrome only repackages the .deb file to .txz, so probably shouldnt take a lot of time..

Re: Chromium or Chrome?

After some reading, I think the tool for installing or upgrading packages on Salix is spkg

So you can download the package from Alien Bob's mirror, and then run:

Code: Select all

spkg -i chromium*.txz
in the directory where you had downloaded the package.
