I am trying to run
gjots2 3.0.1 on salix14.2
gjots2(1) is a simple jotter application for your desktop - an outline processor.
You can use gjots2(1) to organise your jottings into a tree structure, adding thoughts and miscellany as you go. You can get it to spit out HTML, XML, postscript, pdf, man etc etc (see the online manual for an example of the HTML conversion).
You can use it to "mind-map" your compositions - write down all your thoughts and then start organising them into a tree. By manipulating the tree you can easily reorder your thoughts and structure them appropriately.
It requires python3.7 or higher.
I have installed python3 from Eric's repo
But
Code: Select all

Probably, this is because
But AFAIK I can have several other versions of python

or
$ python3.7 /usr/bin/gjots2
But
Code: Select all

You need py3gobject (just above in your screen capture).

Zim, which is included in a default installation, is probably better.

Oh, and BTW, your "upgrading" of the python3 package will certainly break everything in the repos that depends on python3.

I don't like zim. gjots's GUI is more convenient for me.

gjots2 supports the use of ccrypt, gpg and openssl to encrypt and decrypt files.

1 How about backward compatibility?
2 If this alien's python3.7.3 work for the original 14.2, then why doesn't it work for salix ?

Slackware 14.2 does not include any python3. We do include python 3.5. And we have several packages that depend on python 3.5. If you upgrade to 3.7, they will stop working. There is no backwards compatibility in python in that sense.

But Eric have created this python3.7.3 for 14.2
+ AFAIK A user can have a few versions of Python installed on the machine.
So, I can install and 3.5.

Yes, indeed. As I wrote, python 3.7 will work. Packages that depend on python 3.5, which you will have removed, will stop working.

It depends. There is a /usr/bin/python3 symlink that will point to either python3.5 or python3.7. If something depends on python 3.5 and the symlink points to python3.7, and it is launched with /usr/bin/python3, then it won't work. The opposite won't work either. So, in any case, if you do anything like that, you're looking for trouble.
I'll point you to this wiki page now:

How do I find out these packages ? You mean some fundamental pkgs ?
