apt-get for slackware?
 
I am looking for a package manager for slackware.

Are there any? What would you suggest?

Thanks:)

Try slapt-get and swaret. When I was a Slacker, I used swaret which worked fine for me.

Yup!
Slapt-get:
http://software.jaos.org/#slapt-get

I only use it when I need to install something quick from linuxpackages.net -and don't have time to make a SlackBuild or compile from source.

I relay on Slackpkg to upgrade my Slackware system, tho'.

Whats the command to upgrade your system? I am also looking for something to clean out my installs, and other things that might be left over. Since my computer that I run slack doesn't have an onboard nic, I needed to install the nic drivers before I was able to connect to the internet for updates.

If you made packages from them, you can uninstall *all* the non-slackware-included *packages* with Slackpkg (it comes under extras in Slack 10.2, you need to configure Slackpkg first just edit /etc/slackpkg/mirrors and uncomment *one* with the right version for you ):
Code:

slackpkg clean-system
But if you just run "./configure && make && make install" to make your installs, then you are mostly out of luck, unless you have kept the source tree from which you built *and* hopefully the Makefile has an "uninstall" target ("make uninstall").

If you removed the source tree, you could try to ungzip/untar the source again, ./configure it (use the same flags as when you installed) and run "make uninstall" (a few packages may require to run "make" before, but most won't).

If it complains something about a missing rule/target or something when running "make uninstall", then you're out of luck, and you'll have to do a hand uninstalling.
