Ralvex has opened a project, called SalixBang.
This project aims to bring to the salix users updated packages that are not in the main repo because of the Salix philosophy to not update packages unless there is a bug or a security fix.
http://salixbang.org/
http://download.tuxfamily.org/salixbang/depot/
To use the SalixBang repo, add that to your slapt-getrc:
Code: Select all
WORKINGDIR=/var/slapt-get
EXCLUDE=^aaa_elflibs,^aaa_base,^devs,^glibc-.*,^kernel-.*,^udev,^rootuser-settings,^zzz-settings.*,-i?86-
SOURCE=http://salix.enialis.net/x86_64/slackware-13.37/:OFFICIAL ## dépôt slackware
SOURCE=http://salix.enialis.net/x86_64/slackware-13.37/extra/:OFFICIAL ##dépôt slackware
SOURCE=http://salix.enialis.net/x86_64/13.37/:PREFERRED ##dépôt SalixOS
SOURCE=http://download.tuxfamily.org/salixbang/depot/x86_64/13.37/:CUSTOM ##dépôt SalixBang
Then,
Code: Select all
# slapt-get -u && slapt-get --upgrade
Then, upgrade Xfce.
English version of this website will come as soos as possible, enjoy

You can also try
Slackel (albeit with KDE)

I followed the instructions from the salixbang wiki in English for i486 to update Salix 13.37 Xfce 4.6 to Xfce 4.10. I changed "x86_64" for "i486" (or "i?86") and the other way around.
For some reason, Xfce 4.10 is excluded from the upgrade. Then I tried with Gslapt (while I'm not even sure if Xfce can be 100% updated/upgraded while being in an Xfce 4.6 session), and I'm failing again.
It seems I am missing something or maybe I am misunderstanding some step. Any ideas where I could be wrong so I can double check again?
TIA.

Hello Adys,
The Xfce's package from "Salixbang" is conflict with "thunar-volman" and "thunar-thumbnailer", if theire installed xfce not installed.
Remove: thunar-volman and/or thunar-thumbnailer.
Sorry for my english speaking.

Thank you for your answer.
In Gslapt, I eventually received the message that thunar-volman has to (or may) be removed (this was when checking for other available updates). This was after a couple (or maybe more - I don't remember exactly) of logout + login.
After that, I logout and login a couple of times and eventually I went back to try to update Xfce using Gslapt. This time I was able to mark it for upgrade.
For other newbie users that might be interested...
Another logout + login and I was asked if I wanted to copy some previous Xfce 4.8 settings to be used with the new Xfce 4.10 (there were another 2 options).
I accepted the copy of my old settings, but some settings resulted in a different behavior. For example, some desktop icons that were previously shown, now are not there anymore.
One specific setting changed. In Salix 13.37 Xfce, the default low panel is expanded from side to side, and the notification area is located towards the right (bottom) corner. But after the update to Xfce 4.10, the notification area was always "touching" the active apps icons towards the left side. The notification area was moving towards the center / left side, according to the number of opened applications / windows.
I changed back the setting to the original (as it should had been), so the middle area of the panel (for the active applications / windows) would expand (no matter the number of windows). With this change, the notification area was permanently back in place, over the right side.
I hope I was not too vague in my general description.
Thanks to Ralvex.
4.10 and parole

If you use parole and upgrade to 4.10, afterwards you'll find that parole won't work. To get it working again you can rebuild it using the parole SLKBUILD found in /usr/src/parole*
There may be other broken packages, or maybe not... otherwise, 4.10 works great here. Cheers

In the
SLKBUILD for
Xfburn need to add:
Code: Select all
sed -i '1 i\
#include <glib-object.h>' \
xfburn/xfburn-settings.h
(Source:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/xfburn/.)
otherwise the package is not building:
Code: Select all
...
fburn-xfburn-settings.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/xfburn-xfburn-settings.Tpo" -c -o xfburn-xfburn-settings.o `test -f 'xfburn-settings.c' || echo './'`xfburn-settings.c; \
then mv -f ".deps/xfburn-xfburn-settings.Tpo" ".deps/xfburn-xfburn-settings.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/xfburn-xfburn-settings.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
