About: slapt-update-service is a DBus service which notifies about package updates available via slapt-get and gslapt. slapt-update-service 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 intltool atk glib2 gtk+2 pango x11 zlib dbus-glib openssl curl slapt-get 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 --sysconfdir=/etc --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. Caveats: Right now the graphical su/sudo application gnomesu is hardcoded within slapt-update-service based on the build time configure option.
