I left the following in irc. But thought I should post it here also,
just in case anyone else has any ideas they may want to add to this.<br>
<br>
[2008.11.23 12:22:31] <malloc> Shingoshi: you want an additional
option to not exclude the package but that version? I'm not sure i
could represent all of the various options i put together based on your
request<br>
[2008.11.23 12:32:01] <Shingoshi> Jason, I think that if
slapt-get has existing sub-variables, as based on Slackware packaging
format, you could let the user select which of those variables should
be used, either alone or together.<br>
[2008.11.23 12:32:54] <Shingoshi>
$pkgname-$version-$arch-$build-$sig etc.<br>
[2008.11.23 12:33:32] <Shingoshi> However that should correctly
appear. That's the form I think it should take. And I'm pretty certain
it would work.<br>
[2008.11.23 12:34:02] <Shingoshi> A simple dialog in gslapt is
all that should be needed.<br>

I hope I'm posting in the correct place for this. If not, please let me
know if I should have used "slapt-get user help" instead.<br>
<br>
Gentoo has a feature like this for resuming emerge installations that
crashed. This would be very good for gslapt, which will for any reason
crash, need to be restarted, and then have all of the previous packages
reselected in order for them to be installed. This could be avoided, by
creating a history of selected packages, and recalling that history for
"slapt-get --resume-install".<br>
<br>
Also, Jason if you could add a function for gslapt which would provide
a mechanism for excluding packages based on a set of variables like
what you did for me earlier, that would be very cool. I'm sure I'm not
the only one not skilled enough in the use of slapt-get/gslapt to
properly exclude packages like the one which was offending me.<br>
