Slpkg works in accordance with the standards of the organization slackbuilds.org
to builds packages. Also uses the Slackware linux instructions for installation,
upgrading or removing packages.
What makes slpkg to distinguish it from other tools; The user friendliness is its primary
target as well as easy to understand and use, also use color to highlight packages and
display warning messages, etc.
The big advantages is resolving dependencies packages from repositories and monitored for
upgraded packages.
Of course you wonder how the slpkg is up to date at all times;
It's simple, every time there is a change in ChangeLog.txt before proceeding to any
execution program looksat whether there is a change in file size and downloads and updates
the PACKAGES.TXT file.
Also you can install official packages of your favorite distribution directly from the
official repositories
of Slackware. Even you can check for the official updates and install them.
And as we say Slackers, Keep it Simple Stupid!

Searching for symbolic links:
No symbolic links were found, so we wont make an installation script.
You can make your own later in ./install/doinst.sh and rebuild the
package if you like.
This next step is optional - you can set the directories in your package
to some sane permissions. If any of the directories in your package have
special permissions, then DO NOT reset them here!
Would you like to reset all directory permissions to 755 (drwxr-xr-x) and
directory ownerships to root.root ([y]es, [n]o)? n
