Any chance of getting exiftools added so that I can get it out of my extras folder?

 

We are working on updating and adding those packages and will have them soon.

 

Thank you very much for your feedback.

Echoing what others have said, thanks for putting this together. A sizeable portion of the community depended on the successor for easy install/update of those.

 

Going to add my own plug for lftp to be added (I know you're working on getting everything moved over).

 

I see that fix common problems flags that I have lftp manually added to the extras folder, is it going to freak out when nerdtools does the same?

 

We are working so that it can recognize when a package is previously downloaded, for now it notifies you that it is downloaded, but allows you to download it again, in future versions we will improve that experience

Looking for `iotop`, `lftp`, `libmediainfo`/`mediainfo` and `vnstat` to be added.

Vnstat was giving me an error when using the command, this is using a Network Statistics plugin

...and if you could add iperf3, that would be amazing as well 🙂

Iperf3 now comes pre-installed

How is order of installation handled with the built in /boot/extra part? Will it prevent downgrades of versions or does it force installations regardless of version checks?

If you downgrade a version, but in the /boot/extra folder handles a newer version, it won't install it, but it will download it anyway and when you reboot, if you have both versions, the newer one will be installed

 

If you have a newer version of a package in /boot/extra, you should not select to activate the package in the plugin and keep the newer version in /boot/extra

I have found where it performed that action, we will correct it

 

 

Thanks a lot

Thanks for the test... dont need to do it.... then...
 

waiting for the answer from maintainer now

 

 

@ZappyZap @GMAsterAU

 

that is very rare, I will check by replicating the scenarios, to find if it is nerdTools that removes those packages and in what step it does so.

 

thanks for the tests

Why not, un-get doesn't need to be maintained that much since it pulls the packages from the appropriate repository and the user (you) can simply change the repository with the sources.list file too if Slackware 16 (or similar) is released...

 

I really don't want to create a thread here on the forums for un-get since it's really meant for advanced users but it is not that complicated, at least I think it's not that complicated...

 

un-get is a docker? do you have the link to take a look

I don't think you can do that because from what I understand this plugin installs all packages with the extension "_nerdtools.txz" to the /boot/extra folder and if you install a package through un-get and then through this plugin you basically install it twice on boot, as long as it's the same package nothing should be harmed.

 

However you should be able to run both if you are really careful which packages you install where...

 

We also carry out these tests and in principle install one version and if you have an updated one, install the other and when uninstalling, try to uninstall the nerdtools version, if there is another one, it stays

It shouldn't, in my tests I always kept packages in that path and never delete anything, those lines only delete packages that end with the name _nerdtools.txz

love nerdtools/nerdpack, glad it's coming back.

 

I only have tmux and screen enabled and both are up-to-date matching the GitHub files but both say update ready even after I've updated.

 

Also, is there a preferred process to request some of the missing packages that were available in 6.10? or are you in the process of vetting them to be re-added?

 

thank you,

-Dan 
 

 

yes, we are in the process of updating the packages that existed in the previous version to add them to the new updated version
