SlackBuilds.org (sbo) FAQ(15):
Slackware current is not supported, but as a general rule, the scripts
should work on it as well.
Rworkman's (rlw) repository use dependencies where displayed in central site
'http://rlworkman.net/pkgs/' and only those. Unfortunately there is no fixed reference
dependencies file PACKAGES.TXT.

Slackers.it (slackr) repository must be used only from Slackware64 current users.

Also find in some packages will not show package description when you run the command
'slpkg -p slackr <package>' and this is because there is not constant reference to the
description of the file 'PACKAGES.TXT' as in other repositories. Some packages reference
dependencies not included in the repository. This can be checked if you run the command
'slpkg -t slackr <package>'. (Example: noticed that the package 'digikam' indicate
dependence 'ffmpeg' but that is not available from the repository itself).

Studioware (studio), Alien's ktown (ktown), Alien's multilib (multi), Slacke E17 and E18
2015-01-07 07:23:30 +01:00

Slackel.gr (slackl) repository must be used only from Slackware current users and has the
same peculiarities in the repository 'slackr'.

Custom repositories:
--------------------
There is the possibility of adding the repository directly from the user enough to address
2015-01-07 11:43:06 +01:00
up to be the 'PACKAGES.TXT' files and 'CHECKSUMS.md5' least. If not is there for file
'ChangeLog.txt' will get warning messages that the 'ChangeLog.txt' file can not be read but do
not worry, the process is completed normally have each time you run the command 'slpkg update'
the package lists for such a repository will be recreated from start automatically.

Sometimes you may experience some problems with these repositories such as the not correctly
resolve dependencies, and this may happen some specificities separate list which unfortunately
2015-01-08 08:21:32 +01:00
can not be calculated, good is the purpose of mentioning these problems.
