1) run -current in a Virtual Machine or 2) maintain clean stable Virtual MachinesA virtual machine is overkill, generally. A chroot works well. These are my bind-mounts: cd /home/slackware-13.1 # where I have done a full install using # installpkg -root /home/slackware-13.1 for MOUNT in proc proc/bus/usb sys tmp home ; do mount -v --bind \ /$MOUNT $MOUNT ; done chroot . You might not want/need /tmp and /home in that list, but I do. The whole mess could be scripted with proper environment variables and everything. My main computer has an aging slamd64 install with a shiny newish kernel. I'm using it to build some packages for my 32-bit netbook which is running 13.1. In some cases there could be obscure bugs occurring from the different kernels (I have a custom 2.6.31 rather than a stock 13.1 kernel on here), but that's not likely, and something that the SBo review process would probably find, if you submitted a build tested in such a chroot.
au contraire mon fraire, That virtual machine setup is ideal for package building/testing. of course your setup is very nice also :) --pw _______________________________________________ SlackBuilds-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - http://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - http://slackbuilds.org/faq/
