Dear all,
Because of my work, I have to use zoom.us and today I have experienced a problem. Zoom required me to upgrade to the most recent version and considering that the package is not yet available in the repository, I had to try to download the package from their site. I tried to install it with spkg, but the tar.xz package was reported as having a wrong name.
Using zoom with firefox browser didn't work. The audio system is not supported.
I need to find a way to quickly upgrade zoom-linux package to the most recent version. Can anyone advise me what to do.
Thank you

Re: How to upgrade zoom-linux
Hello,
Zoom wants you to upgrade your clients to Zoom 5.0. Version 5.0.413237.0524 is made available via Sourcery in the Salix distribution. So then: Launch Sourcery, update database, select the desired package to install, install. That should have been it already.
Re: How to upgrade zoom-linux
Hello, thanks,
For some reason it is not automatically updating. I uninstalled it. Then i tried to install it via sourcery and it failed. The message was:
"There was an error while downloading source files for zoom-linux 5.0.413237.0524. All pending actions will be purged from the processing queue."
I tried using spi, but the download also failed for some reason.
Is there a way to resolve it?

I have no problems downloading the archives zoom-linux.tar.gz, zoom_x86_64.tar.xz and zoom_i686.tar.xz directly from http://slackbuilds.org/.malecite wrote: ↑1. Jun 2020, 16:32 Hello, thanks,

Re: How to upgrade zoom-linux
The problem seems to be with slapt-src fetching the source archive. Using wget the source downloads fine.

Re: How to upgrade zoom-linux
thanks laprjns
I did that. It was not a problem previously to download the file. How to install it? I tried using spkg, but it reports to me "package name is invalid." I got that message now again, after using wget to download it.
I believe that the problem that sourcery and spi experienced before was not with downloading, but installing.
How to install it now that I download it spi won't install it from the file?
I never used SLKBUILD before.
thanks again.

Re: How to upgrade zoom-linux
After playing around with it I think all you need to do is clean out the slapt-src build directory and then try installing using slapt-src. So do this to clean the build directory:
Then update the slapt-src database;
And finaly build and install the zoom package using slapt-src
Code: Select all
rich[~]$ sudo slapt-src --clean
Code: Select all
rich[~]$ sudo slapt-src --update

Fetching slackbuild list from http://download.salixos.org/sbo/14.2/...Cached
Code: Select all
rich[~]rich[~]$ sudo slapt-src --install zoom-linux
