apt-get for slack?

nin881 · 05-16-2005, 09:19 PM

I've been running Fedora on my desktop for some time and now I decided to get my slower system running for upstairs. I tried Fedora but that just ran slow even with a light window manager. So I tried slack and I like it alot but I would like a Apt-get or Yum. Yum is very helpful when installing programs. Is there a version of Apt-get for slack? If there is I may have to switch all of my stations to slack, it even has a cool name that resembles me.

pkgtool handle packages. www.linuxpackages.net has a nice load of packages. There's no official tool like apt-get (personally I like that however).

slapt-get

download and

Code:

installpkg slapt-get-0.9.9j-i386-1.tgz

An alternative is swaret.

Personally I use swaret and installpkg with linuxpackages.net but there is besides those above also:

http://getpkg.sourceforge.net/ <- getpkg
http://slackpkg.sourceforge.net/ <- slackpkg

But none of these are official....
