- -current is in a broken state: I haven't yet started any development on
it, it's better you'll sync to a full 12.1 which is following Slackware.
There's no a preferred way to do this, I think I'd follow a two step
process if I'd have to sort out your problem:
1) get a full slackintosh-12.1 tree on one of your disks, if you want to
speed things up, get only /slackintosh (or /slackware, it's were alla of
the base sets live) and /patches
2) step one, get a full, base 12.1: "upgradepkg --install-new
/path/to/slackintosh/*/*.tgz"
3) step two, security updates: "upgradepkg --install-new
/path/to/patches/packages/*.tgz"
4) a bit of cleanup: there was some movement with mozilla packages and
some other files, take a look at ChangeLog.txt to clean up your system
accordingly
ciao
