Salix Default Repositories & Others Repos Priority

[inukaze]

Hi there, i using salix just for experiments.

i already i had configure my files

/etc/slapt-get/slapt-srcrc

apart of that i had installed slpkg and i had just the follow repositories enabled :
sbo
alien
multi
salix

Well i try to compile from Slackbuild, for example

Code: Select all

slpkg -s salix meson ; slpkg -s sbo remmina

near the end of the output i get this :

spice-common| Program python3 found: YES (/usr/bin/python3)
spice-common| Message: Checking for python module six
spice-common| WARNING: You should add the boolean check kwarg to the run_command call.
spice-common| It currently defaults to false,
spice-common| but it will default to true in future releases of meson.
spice-common| See also: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/9300
spice-common| Message: Checking for python module pyparsing

../subprojects/spice-common/meson.build:137:8: ERROR: Problem encountered: Python module pyparsing not found

A full log can be found at /tmp/SBo/spice-gtk-0.42/meson-build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt

No such package spice-gtk-0.42: Can't build

Searching on SlakFinder i found the package i need is in the Official repository

But this generate me the follow dunno : in which priority order i must add and set slackware official repositories, but not the favorites on the slapt-get and why this is repository is not pre-activated with salix ?

Two days ago i need install qt-4-8-7 downloaded from another url and install it just to compile the SimpleScreenRecorder from SBo because the Salix repository just don't want use the ffmpeg and x264 i already had installed from Alien repository for Record on mp4 with x264 codec, that is the reason that packages are on my exclusion list from slapt-get is just for use the version i know the precompiled had the things i need to use.

Code: Select all

wget -c 'http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/slackware64-14.2/slackware64/l/qt-4.8.7-x86_64-4.txz' ; installpkg qt-4.8.7-x86_64-4.txz ; ldconfig

this package is not on salix repository

The pyparsing i need for compile remmina is not on salix repo, remmina is a tool i ever use to connect via VNC or RDP to anothers machines on my intranet

another dunno is : which program is like ethtool but for wlan interfaces, because if i try ethtool wlan0 i just get

No data available

Well the part of Remmina, i solve using slpkg and when enable slack official repository and use the follow commands :

Code: Select all

su

groupadd -g 257 pcscd
useradd -u 257 -g pcscd -d /var/run/pcscd -s /bin/false pcscd

slpkg -s slack acl linuxdoc-tools python-six python-pyparsing ninja python-pygments kwallet freerdp
slpkg -s salix meson 
slpkg -s sbo libcacard phodav usbredir valgrind wakeonlan
slpkg -s sbo remmina

[gapan]

What are you talking about?

Code: Select all

$ slapt-get --search pyparsing
pyparsing-2.4.7-x86_64-6 [inst=yes]: pyparsing (parsing module for python)

Furthermore, we don't use slpkg in Salix. We also don't use alienbob's repository, multilib, or any other third party repository. In any case, this applies:
