I've got a box running slackware 9.1 here, that I didn't have time to upgrade before, but have gotten around to wanting to upgrade it to slack 10.1 now. I am trying to do this with swaret 1.3.1, which came as an extra package in slack 9.1. My swaret.conf file is fine, since I used it last time to upgrade to slackware 9.1. So, I just changed the slackware version number in there from 9.1, to 10.1, and mounted the first slackware cd under /cdrom, where swaret expects to find all the packages, as I've configured it to do. I run swaret --update , and it compiles all the checksums, file lists, ETC, ETC, ETC, and everything runs just fine. Then, I do swaret --up-all -A , and swaret tells me that all my installed packages are up to date, which is obviously not the case. So, does anyone know what gives? Should I first perhaps upgrade swaret using the standard slackware upgradepkg tool, or is swaret simply not used to upgrade anymore? Any informative input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
