| 09:26:55 |  Master-Passeli | you can install multiple kernels at the same time. you just need to configure them properly for lilo or grub |

| 09:27:35 | lioh | so it is listed as masked by slackpkg+ |
| 09:28:01 | Master-Passeli | but it wont install if you command slackpkg install kernel-huge-5.4.0_rc6-x86_64-1 ?? |
| 09:28:47 | lioh | no |
| 09:29:00 | Master-Passeli | SEARCH FUNCTION IMPROVEMENT
The command "slackpkg search ..." when finds two packages with the same name
but with different versions, it will show all so you know all repositories
that contains that package, not just the first in priority list.
It will mark all versions not in priority (i.e. that install/upgrade will not
show) as 'masked'. To install that packages you must explicitly specify the
repository name with "slackpkg install/upgrade repository:package".
|
| 09:29:09 | Master-Passeli | that is from slackpkg+ manual |
| 09:29:41 | Master-Passeli | could you try that and tell would it help |
| 09:30:42 | Master-Passeli | s/manual/README/ |
| 09:30:50 | lioh | what you mean? |
| 09:31:04 | lioh | slackpkg install testing:kernel-huge-5.4.0_rc6-x86_64-1 does not work |
| 09:31:12 | Master-Passeli | oh |
| 09:31:28 | Master-Passeli | interesting |
| 09:32:07 | lioh | ah, got it. |
| 09:32:15 | lioh | of course it does not because the package is already installed |
| 09:32:21 | lioh | slackpkg upgrade testing:kernel-generic works fine |
| 09:32:27 | lioh | thanks for your help Master-Passeli |
| 09:33:19 | lioh | slackpkg does not support the installation of multiple versions of the same package afair |
| 09:33:29 | lioh | installpkg does of course. |
| 09:33:54 | Master-Passeli | :) |
| 09:34:30 | Master-Passeli | slackpkg does not inform user any way that package is already installed? |
| 09:36:20 | lioh | no. it just says No packages match the pattern for install. |
| 09:36:32 | Master-Passeli | interesting |
| 09:36:53 | lioh | but i guess after a new kernel upgrade in a/ a slackpkg upgrade-all will replace the testing kernel again. |
| 09:37:57 | lioh | maybe the greylist functionality will come handy here. |
| 09:39:15 | lioh | i am upgrading to 5.x now and see how it behaves. |

i am upgrading to 5.x now and see how it behaves. Pls share your thoughts here with us... 😉 |
| 14:29:12 | lioh | the kernel does not cause any issues here, even though i was using it before with a custom build. my observation is about the upgrade handling and greylisting. i will keep you updated. |
