is slackpkgplus down?

For about the last week or so I've had difficulties with slackpkgplus, the addition to slackpkg that adds additional repositories of slackware packages. Enabling the slackpkgplus configuration times out, with a "no route to host" response. Is there a problem?

Thank you.

Yep, there is a problem and it's known by almost everybody in this forum since long time. Where you have been, bro? :D

So. for unknown reasons, the slackfinder site is down.

And the admin is out of the office :)

Any news on zerouno? I hope all is well.

is it still ok to upgrade current using slackpkg update && install-new && upgrade-all ?

I came back from the xmas break and trying to upgrade my slackware current i found this:

Code:

bash-5.2# slackpkg update

                  !!! N O T I C E !!!

    Repository 'slackpkgplus' does not contains MANIFEST.bz2

    Don't worry... it will work fine, but the command

    'slackpkg file-search' will not work on that

    repository

Since slakfinder.org is down, you need to change the URL of slackpkg+ repository in /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf

Use slackware.nl for example.

Code:

# use this to keep the slackpkg+ package updated to the latest stable release

#MIRRORPLUS['slackpkgplus']=https://slakfinder.org/slackpkg+15/

MIRRORPLUS['slackpkgplus']=https://slackware.nl/slackpkgplus15/
