Kslackcheck keeps in sync changelogs and shows updates in a graphical popup in KDE, with just one click. It can tell users what packages in need to be upgraded for major releases, and helps to download them to a particular directory ready for manual upgrading.

Recent releases


Changes: A minor proxy bug was fixed, compatibility with Slackware 12 was added, and Slackware 9.1 support has been dropped. DO NOT UPGRADE Kslackcheck if you are still using Slackware 9.1.


Changes: Slacklogo menu installation has been fixed. The Slovak translation has been updated, and a Deutsch translation added. The popup style has changed, moving from kdialog to a knotify DCOP call. Another bugfix has been made in proxy connections, which should now work as expected.


Changes: According to the new -current layout, KDE binaries and related files have been moved to /usr instead of /opt, which would also work in official Slackware releases. There is a fix for proxy connection: this release tires to find proxy settings in wgetrc, and for now the default mode is a proxy connection without authentication. To obtain authentication, just set new value in PROXYAUTH in kslackcheck.conf.


Changes: A pair of new translations (Bosniak and French) were added. Some bugs were fixed, and a little improvement was made to the package engine.


Changes: This version is mainly a bugfix release with some improvements in the package check engine, especially for /patches packages.
