PERSONAL PACKAGES:
If you build yourself some package, you can install these without installpkg, by using slackpkg. That operation help you to track the installation/upgrade and reduce the error margin.

To install one of these packages you should download it and install manually.
Now you can specify a direct url for the package with slackpkg+ that automatically will download and install/upgrade the package.
