[SOLVED] Packages installed via Gslapt versus Sourcery

[phayz]

I use the text editor/IDE Geany and, wanting the latest version, decided to install it via Sourcery which went very well. I need to mention that I installed a copy of Sourcery from the 13.37 repositories. Geany and its associated plugins packages were built and installed successfully.

However when I run Gslapt, update the list of packages, and ask it to upgrade packages as required it wants to install Geany 0.18 in place of Geany 0.20 which is not what *I* want. Is there an extra step I need to do here, perhaps mark Geany as an excluded package in Gslapt? Did I do the wrong thing by installing Geany via Sourcery?

Sincerely yours in confusion.

mark Geany as an excluded package in Gslapt?

yes.

gapan,

Thanks. I guess it's logical. I had been expecting Gslapt to know that a later version of Geany was already installed and so not try to install an "upgrade". Now that I know I'll keep that in mind.

If a note about this is not already in the SalixOS Startup Guide I might submit a patch.

Thanks to yourself and everyone else on the development team for what is an excellent Linux distribution and community!
