Slackpkg+ is a plugin for slackpkg

Thanks to alienbob and phenixia2003 for contributing.



edit slackpkgplus.conf
uncomment one or more mirrors and add it in REPOPLUS list
optionally set PKGS_PRIORITY to give priority order for packages presents in multiple repositories

then launch 
slackpkg update gpg
slackpkg update


This is a beta version.



Usage:

see 'man slackpkg' :D


When a package is present in more than a repository the package will found in that order:

1) as listed in PKGS_PRIORITY
2) as listed in Official Slackware Repository (as configured in slackpkg.conf)
3) as listed in REPOPLUS


PKGS_PRIORITY Syntax:

<repository name>:<package name>

example
alienbob:openjdk

<package name> accepts regular expression, so
multilib:.* mean 'all packages in repository multilib'


Supported repository are (for now):

multilib:         http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/multilib/
alienbob:         http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/sbrepos/
alien restricted: http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/restricted_sbrepos/
slacky:           http://repository.slacky.eu/
salixos:          http://download.salixos.org/
salixext:         http://people.salixos.org/ralvex/packages/
rlworkman:        http://rlworkman.net/pkgs/
slackel:          http://www.slackel.gr/repo/
zerouno:          http://www.z01.eu/repo-slack/
slackers:         http://www.slackers.it/repository/

but you can add other yourself.

Currently only the alien repositories (multilib, alienbob and restricted) and the slacky repositories does supports GPG.
If configure the other repositories, you may need to set "CHECKGPG=off" in slackpkg.conf
