Woof: Support Slackware 14.0

October 31, 2012 — BarryK
01micko has provided files for Woof, to build Slacko from Slackware 14.0 packages.

Woof commit:
http://bkhome.org/fossil/woof2.cgi/info/ab3ab571dd

Then I made some small changes to file DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-slackware-14.0. Mostly some extra modem firmware PETs:

...I also changed '915resolution' back to "yes", as my understanding is that the X.org 'vesa' driver needs it. The hardware-specific drivers don't, and never have, I think.

"Apologies for misusing this thread but I thought on the other thread it can be overlooked. #20121102 L18L: equivalent for menu entries, saved me 13 seconds each. [url=http://ompldr.org/vZzNxbA]momanager-121102[/url] is much faster now.

"L18L, But, aren't you assuming that the gettext-ed scripts won't change during the same session? You can't make that assumption. The developer might be adding new scripts, for example, such as by installing a PET, and this must be detected when momanager next runs.

"Yes, I am assuming that the gettext-ed scripts won't change during the same session! Usually a [b]translator[/b] is not installing new scripts while translating, I did not do that at least. -A reboot or maybe just a simple -[b]rm /tmp/momanager/*[/b] -- invoked from petget, -- or a "refresh" button will make momanager detect everything newly. Speeding up momanager seemed to have got some attention: 14 downloads http://ompldr.org/l20dtnn1s-momanager
