slackcurrent 0.1.6 (Default branch)
Slackcurrent is a tool that checks if there are newer versions of packages installed on Slackware boxes available on a mirror site. It determines which packages are installed locally, updates the list of remote files available on the mirror site, compares them, and reports on updates. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
The version tokens were expanded to 4 tokens to solve problems with (official) packages with unwieldy names. When asked to create the upgrade list, Slackcurrent now tells you about some packages (local and remote) that will not be handled because of their name formats. It may be that the names are ok and you just found another bug, but there are some packages that really don't follow the package name conventions. You'll need to download and upgrade those packages manually.Image

pk-debuginfo-install

PK-DEBUGINFO-INSTA(1)						  [FIXME: manual]					     PK-DEBUGINFO-INSTA(1)

NAME

       pk-debuginfo-install - Debugging Packages Installer

SYNOPSIS

       pk-debuginfo-install [--help] [--verbose] [--simulate] [--no-depends]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the pk-debuginfo-install command.

       pk-debuginfo-install is the command line client for installing debuginfo packages.

WHY DO I NEED DEBUGINFO PACKAGES
?
       When a program crashes, it's often useful to send the developer a backtrace which contains symbol names and variable contents, rather than
       memory addresses. To make this possible, extra packages called debug packages can be installed.

OPTIONS

       This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included
       below.

       --help
	   Show summary of options.

       --noninteractive
	   Do not be interactive and skip the confirmation before the packages are installed.

       --verbose
	   Show extra debugging information.

       --simulate
	   Don't actually install any packages, only simulate what would be installed.

       --no-depends
	   Do not scan for, or install dependencies of the core packages.

       --quiet
	   Do not display information or progress to the terminal.
