-autoslackpkg automates the use of slackpkg. The script expects to be run
-as the root user. It also expects specific modifications to blacklist,
-mkinitrd.conf, efi.conf & lilo.conf.
-
-The script maintains multiple kernels and manages EFI & LILO setups (not
-GRUB yet). The default boot kernel is changed to the most recent kernel.
-In the unlikely event the most recent kernel is not functioning properly
-the system can be rebooted with the previous kernel.
-
-The script has a config file /etc/slackpkg/autoslackpkg.conf that sets
-default variables. These variables can be changed based on unique system
-requirements.
-
-The script requires options and arguments. To see usage help
-run (autoslackpkg) without options or arguments. Usage help also is
-displayed if there is a script option or argument error.
-
-When run with the -h option and a valid argument (autoslackpkg -h
-overview | blacklist | elilo | lilo | mkinitrd) the script provides
-help.
-
-When run with the -m option and a valid argument (autoslackpkg -m dialog
-| batch) the script runs in either dialog mode or batch mode. Dialog
-mode is a hands-on, interactive mode. Batch mode runs without user
-input.
-
-When run with the -s option (autoslackpkg -s update | install-new |
-upgrade-all | clean-system | install-kernel | remove-kernel |
-new-config) the script only runs a specific section of the overall
-script.
-
-The script runs in 2 Phases. If not installing a new kernel then
-autoslackpkg runs both Phase 1 & Phase 2 in succession. If a new kernel
-is installed then only Phase 1 is run & reboot is required. After
-reboot, rerun autoslackpkg then Phase 1 is skipped & only Phase 2 is
-run.
-
-Phase 1 includes:
-
- 1) slackpkg update
- 2) slackpkg install-new
- 3) slackpkg upgrade-all (see blacklist help)
- 4) new kernel download & installation (see blacklist help)
- 5) mkinitrd for new kernel (see mkitrd help)
- 6) EFI system new kernel management (see elilo help)
- 7) LILO system new kernel management (see lilo help)
-
-Phase 2 includes:
-
- 1) slackpkg clean-system
- 2) EFI system old kernel management (see elilo help)
- 3) LILO system old kernel management (see lilo help)
- 4) run updatedb
- 5) slackpkg new-config
- 6) find /etc *.new & *.orig
