Automated Tool for Management of Slackware Linux Packages

• The default, it ships with Slackware 12.2

2009-04-19 - 2.70.4 - probably Slackware 12.2 ∞

• Can't run two instances of it. =(
• When confronted with a config file conflict, your response is CASE SENSITIVE. I used 'o' and it decided to abandon doing anything, with no feedback on what I ought to do. Boo.

• Really terrible and inconsistent.

  • When I search it finds upgradable packages, but upgrade-all won't find them.
  • Trying to install some packages won't work.

Abandoning this, it sucks too much. Using slapt-get instead.

Usage ∞

First-time use ∞

# pick a mirror:
nano /etc/slackpkg/mirrors
