Autoupdate for Slackware.

(1/1)

Ice-9:
AutoPKG 0.5.4 (Stable)
http://freshmeat.net/releases/110668/

AutoPKG lets you keep your Slackware system up to date.
It functions similarly to apt-get, the Debian package manager.

preacher:
How exactly does this work? It downloads and installs the packages? If so then this will certainly help me in my quest to make slackware my OS of choice.

Ice-9:
I don't know that exactly, I went to the project page on sourceforge, there's a screenshot.
They claim it functions similarly to apt-get
But I think it's only console-based, no GUI.

Calum:
sounds a bit like apt-get.

the portupgrade port in FreeBSD will help automate upgrading.  used in conjunctionii with two other ports.  A script could easily be run to automat ehtem and it could be cron-ed as well.
