slackware.com ================= A minimalistic tool for interfacing with Slackware's mirrors and website from the command line. Locally, I rename this to slackware.com. Use this tool at your own risk. Note: Currently this project is pre-release and may be vulnerable to downgrade attacks. ``` slackware.com [command] changelog - show changes described in the Changelog since the last update download - download the given packages help - list commands offered by this tool list - print all packages on the mirror sync - update knowledge about mirror's content updates - print all new and updated packages on mirror Environment Variables PACKAGE_CACHE ($ROOT/var/cache/packages) - local directory for downloads QUIET (false) - turn off informational output: 'false' or 'true' ROOT (/) - target root directory SLACKWARE_MIRROR (https://download.dlackware.com/slackware/slackware-current/) - remote root slackware package location ``` Examples -------- Download all updates: ``` slackware.com updates | xargs slackware.com download ``` Cron script to download updates and email changes to root: ``` #!/bin/sh set -e export QUIET=true export SLACKWARE_MIRROR=https://download.dlackware.com/slackware/slackware-current/ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin slackware.com sync TO_UPDATE="$(slackware.com updates)" if [ -n "$TO_UPDATE" ]; then slackware.com updates | xargs slackware.com download slackware.com changelog | mail -s "updates" root fi ``` Installation ------------ Download the slackware.com script, and copy it to /usr/local/sbin: ``` chmd +x slackware.com mv slackware.com /usr/local/sbin ``` Import Slackware's GPG key for the user running the tool: ``` gpg2 --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0x6A4463C040102233 ```
