how do you slackers choose to keep updated?

**kern** · 07-30-2005

Me ? I'm running 10.1 official with patches

its a simple process of checking the changelog - which I don't really need to do but like to, and finding by the time I notice theres something new, its usually been rsynched to my hard disk with a script the previous night or something, so its a case of doing a simple 'upgradepkg *.tgz' every time something new comes out, or maybe dropping to init 1 first if its a very important package, if its gimp or something for example I'd just update it in my current runlevel - 4

so, how about you?

Myself I grab stuff from slackware-current or compile it myself.

i use swaret as a weekly cron job, just to update packages list to '10.1' and 'current'.

upgrade is still manual, once a week...

maybe a script or something...

Slackpkg is the best IMO.

I tend to use slapt-get.

I use slapt-get also

I'm using a self-made set of scripts that automate some parts of the upgrade procedure.
Additionally, a script rsyncs -current every night and sends me an email if there is a new Changelog.

If you're interested, have a look at: www.inreto.de/slacker/
