[Trinux-talk] pkgadd

[<HHu...@t-...>]

Hallo, trinux-talk,

in "/sbin/pkgadd" (nearly at the end)

        rm $FILE

should be replaced with

        rm /$FILE

The imported package is unpacked in "/", and it should be deleted after  
unpacking. That is ok.

But if there happens a mistake during finding and unpacking, trinux may  
be not in "/", but in "/dev/xxx/trinux". And then deleting the package  
is no good idea.

One possible error: the "pkglist" is edited under DOS/Windows, and  
trinux cannot understand "CRLF".

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut

Thanks for all the QA work. I'll fix these issues.

2.4.19 is real close (rc3 is out now) so I'll be shooting for a new
release. I'm also building a Slackware User Mode Linux development
enviroment for building packages and initrd's to avoid the trouble of
tracking down Slackware 7.1 if anybody is interested.
