@oneliner:

the whole script has been growing over the last 4 years...

I'm sure that one could do it with a oneliner,too, but it simply works

What is "fluxflux-sl/Lin2Go" ?

Hi JRD,

What is "fluxflux-sl/Lin2Go" ?

fluxflux-sl-en_US-2009.1 is a livesystem based on Slackware 12.2 with Openbox as windowmanager and gtk(2)-based applications to make the system fast and lightweight.

Customkernel from Quax: 2.6.28 with a lot of patches and newest modules for WLAN, LAN (compat-wireless from 25.06.2009) and other hardware.

Applications: Firefox 3.5.1, Thunderbird 2.0.0.22, OpenOffice 3.1.0 and other actual applications (Pidgin, X-Chat
GimP, GQView, ViewNior, GTKam, GMPlayer, Xine, XMMS, Asunder, ePDF, XCalc, Rox-Filer, PCManFM, Xarchive, Sakura, Leafpad, Gnomebaker, Graveman and more).

The system is designed to be both, a livesystem for USB drives or a real linux installed to any storage medium (harddisk, external USB drive, SD(HC)). The rootpartition needs min. 3 GB, 4 GB are recommended.

The system has some configurationscripts for UMTS modems, bluetooth, WLAN, printers, SAMBA, VPN, ACPI and more.

Via slapt-get or gslapt (frontend for slapt-get) the system can be updated, new applications can be added, existing one removed. There are original Slackware-repos and a special 2009.1 repo which is growing in the future. Additional repos can be found via the net (slacky.eu, rlworkman, alien and others).

There is a special bootoption for eeePCs, to support the ACPI and the hotkeys of the eeePCs as far as known (overclocking, fan control, low-level-warning of the batterie, cpu-frequency). With fluxdesk you will have a kind of easy mode, an option for tablets and touchscreens.

Special boototpions for MSI Wind, Akoya Mini, LG X110, Samsung NC10 and Acer AAO are in preparation. I am waiting for some feedback and information of users ...

fluxflux-sl is in development and after the release 2009.1 you will find updates via slapt-get/gslapt, lzm for your liveversion and actual snapshots with all changes.

In the English section of our forum you will get support and answers to your questions or you can share your experience or give us new ideas. You may request also new applications, if we are able to compile these from sourcecode, we will do it.

Special thanks and credits to Tomas Matejicek (linux-live-scripts) and Patrick Volkerding and his crew (Slackware)!
Special thanks to Manfred Müller for the forum, the server, the kernel and a lot of things!
Special thanks to all users who helped with their tests and feedback!

And here a video of the bootsplash --> http://fluxflux.net/isos/bootsplash-flu ... -en_US.avi

And of the running livesystem on an eeePC 701 --> http://fluxflux.net/isos/demo-fluxflux-en_US.avi

You will find an installationguide within the running livesystem or here --> http://mirror.live-modules.org/quax/flu ... guide.html

You will find the release fluxflux-sl-en_US-2009.1.iso in the section 'Releases', the actual snapshot in the section 'Snapshots' ...

flux.

Lin2Go has the same base but a KDE-Desktop with split packages like KDEMod from Archlinux

@Gapan:

I have reworked my server scripts and injected the dependency information from http://www.stabellini.net/filesystem/slackware-13.0 . Except adding the slack-required files the packages in that tree have been left untouched.

Could you please recheck http://mirror.live-modules.org/lin2go-13.0 whether it is Salix compliant now ?

All packages are serving .dep files beneath and slack-required inside.

By end of this week I will have finished porting my KDESplit scripts to the new 3.5.10 version Pat posted this morning for Slackware 13.0.
After Lin2Go will have been launched in early November, all packages/modules on live-modules.org will be installable/mountable via firefox and webmount/httpfs again.

If it works with slapt-get it's Salix compliant anyway! You don't have to use .dep files. .dep files are just the way we chose to use dependency info in salix. So, of course your repo is salix compiant.

I also setup a slackware-with-deps repo during the past weekend based on Stefano's work, maybe you're interested: http://salix.enialis.net/i486/slackware-13.0/ (funny we were working on a similar thing )

Hi Gapan,

You don't have to use .dep files.

I need them anyway, because I will be using them with the relaunch of webmount.org to show the deps to
a user who mounts a module/package via his browser.

Your dep-script is a very nice approach - Well done!

As mentioned above, I cannot use it, as I need the .dep, .info and .wmo files beneath the package/module.

I made some changes to Stefano's dependencies lists. The ones I remember are:

- every mention of "glibc-solibs" should probably be "glibc|glibc-solibs". Since we usually only have glibc installed in salix, glibc-solibs is not needed and since a system without any of the two doesn't exist, I just removed them from all dep files.

- I added the respective kernel-modules packages to the kernel dependencies. It's not an "ldd" kind of dependency, but they kernel won't function properly without the kernel-modules package.

- removed openssl dependency from openssl-solibs and the other way around.

- removed all xorg+xmms dependencies from flac. They come from the xmms plugin which is not at all needed for flac to work.

- I removed tcl,tk from pidgin dependencies. The dependency probably comes from a bundled plugin that isn't really need for pidgin to work.

There could be a couple more I can't remember about. Thought you might be interested.

Thanks for posting the changes - I will adjust my repo accordingly.

Hi all,

as of today, all files offered at the repos on http://mirror.live-modules.org will be GPG signed.

The public key is located in the root of each repo as GPG-KEY
