Question Do you use Prey


Hello everyone,

I hope you guys know about Prey.
You can see from the Download page that it is also available for linux.
I am searching for a SlackBuild for it and I'm unable to find it. How do I create a .SlackBuild for and install when I only have .zip or .tar.gz?

Please help me. This application seems to be very useful to me.

You could also try running src2pkg on the downloaded source. Src2pkg will create a Slackware package you can install.

See my signature for a link and more information on src2pkg.

Regards,
