Slpkg is a terminal multitool in order to easy use `Slackware `_
packages.
The tool focuses on slpkg easy and understandable use.
Species are adapted to two repositories:
SBo - `slackbuilds.org `_
Slack - `slackware.com `_
The slpkg cooperate in accordance with the standards of the organization slackbuilds.org
to build a package,
are also used as the Slackware instructions for installing, upgrading or removing a
package.
What makes slpkg apart from other tools is the friendliness and the use of color for the
enhancement packages
that are not installed on the system or not.
Of course one of the big advantages is resolving dependencies packages from repository
slackbuilds.org 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 SLACKBUILDS.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.
I should be grateful if you experience the slpkg and share your opinion with me.
And as we say Slackers, Keep it Simple Stupid!

Searching for symbolic links:
No symbolic links were found, so we won't 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
