1. Use on production servers ------------------------- Do NOT run slacktrack on production servers. It should only be run on a development box. 2. Slackware versions ------------------ slacktrack has only been tested on Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1 and Splack (Slackware on SPARC, using Slackware 9's pkgtools & tar-1.13). It may works on previous releases of Slackware, it may not. 3. slacktrack default working space -------------------------------- By default, slacktrack puts its work space in /var/tmp/slacktrack It is essential that you have enough disk space on the partition on which /var/tmp resides - particularly if you use ${SLACKTRACKSCRATCHDIR} If you do not have enough space in /var/tmp then you can pass --tempdir to slacktrack to change the base temporary directory. eg you may do # slacktrack --tempdir /tmp/slacktrack -Qp "foobar-4.1-sparc-2.tgz" "/bin/sh foobar.build" You have been warned.
