All releases of GETPKG


Release Notes: Support for Slackware 10.2 was added.


Release Notes: A program log file and hooks to various functions for logging was added. A few bugfixes were made.


Release Notes: This release adds a function to check for the latest version of getpkg and download/install.


Release Notes: This release adds a Unix manual page and a few minor code changes.


Release Notes: A version selector was added to the functions for viewing the changelog. Different changelogs may now be viewed without changing program settings. A function to enter and sort user mirrors from a textfile was added. A counter was added to the mirror traceroute function.


Release Notes: A function to sort mirrors by traceroute instead of ping time was written and integrated into both offficial and unofficial mirrors. This provides much better sorting and more a accurate choice of the fastest mirror. The getpkg-installer file was removed. If upgrading from an older version, you should remove ~/.getpkg/mirrors and ~/.getpkg/unofficial_mirrors before running the program to resort mirrors.


Release Notes: This release adds a function to connect via SSH to remote machines, and a code clean up to the function to copy files to a remote machine.


Release Notes: This release adds minor UI changes to improve program flow and usability and changes the installation section to call Slackware package tools directly instead of using getpkg-installer.


Release Notes: This release reorganizes the menus to improve the user interface.


Release Notes: This release adds a separate function for downloading text files, and uses a function for retrieving FILELISTs, checksums, and changelogs. This fixes an annoying bug, but loses the gauge. The file download code has been cleaned up to prevent some programs hanging. A "check all" option has been added to the checklist function.
