Question

Last Modified: May 02, 2005

How do I upgrade the packages on my server?
Answer
On the command line, as root, cd to /home1/ftp/pub/. If you do a ls there you will see directories named slack?? where ?? is our internal version indicator. You can do a cat /etc/slackware-version to figure out what version of slackware you are running. Then if you cd into the corresponding slack??/kattare directory and do a ls you will see a listing of all of the available custom Kattare packages. From there you can either upgrade all of the packages using the ./upgrade-packages script or you can upgrade individual packages by doing an upgradepkg --install-new <package-name>.tgz.

Kattare routinely updates the packages available in that directory as new software is released and bugfixes come out. If you would like to be notified whenever a new package is available, send an email to support@kattare.com and we'll add your address to our mail list. Note that this can be fairly frequent.
