About: slapt-update-notifier is a Daemon which notifies about package updates available via slapt-get and gslapt. slapt-update-notifier places an icon in the user's notification area when updates are available. Clicking the icon starts upgrading with gslapt. Requirements: To build from source, you must have these packages installed: autoconf automake libtool m4 gettext gettext-tools pkgconfig glibc atk glib2 gtk+2 pango x11 zlib gamin openssl curl slapt-get gslapt Building: Run ./configure. you must specify the use of one of the following graphical su/sudo applications: gnomesu, gksu, kdesu. For example: ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gnomesu=yes Now run make. Installing: You can either run 'make install' or 'make pkg'. The 'pkg' make target will create a Slackware package in ./pkg. Configuring: slapt-update-daemon installs a configuration file in /etc/slapt-get. The slapt-update-notifier.conf uses the UPDATE_CHECK_FREQUENCY option to specify the update check frequency. The update check frequency can be specified in hours (hH), minutes (mM), or seconds (sS). The /etc/rc.d/rc.slapt-update-notifier startup script can be used to start and stop the daemon. Caveats: Right now the graphical su/sudo application gnomesu is hardcoded within slapt-update-notifier based on the build time configure option.
