  • slapt get KO with alienBob repository

    From Goon@goon@inval.id to alt.os.linux.slackware on Wed Jun 4 10:51:35 2025
    From Newsgroup: alt.os.linux.slackware

    Hi, from time immemorial I have this line in
    /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc:

    SOURCE=http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/:OFFICIAL

    A few weeks ago this source stopped working:

    root@goon:~# slapt-get --update
    Retrieving package data [http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/]...Failed to download:
    HTTP response code said error
    Sources failed to download, correct sources and rerun --update

    What baffles me is that http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/
    works perfectly with curl, lynx, chromium, etc. I don't see a debug
    option for slapt-get, so I can't figure out what's going on.

    Any hints? Thanks

    ...in the meantime, everything works fine with SOURCE=https://slackware.nl/people/alien/sbrepos/15.0/x86_64/:OFFICIAL
    even if ChangeLog.txt is missing. However, slackware.nl has the latest packages as stated in
    http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/ChangeLog.txt
