I'm relatively new to the world of linux and for about four years only uses the distribution Slackware. I found it very interesting and I loved it immediately
So I created a little tool that facilitates the use regarding the building and installing packages.
I would be happy if you were using and tell me your opinion.
Be careful though, once a slackware script has the ability to resolve dependencies, the flood of ubuntu refugees will follow, lol.
I can't talk. I cut my teeth on it.

Reason: Can't spell
There will be some updates soon and maybe add a few more features.

Can slpkg resemble the apt-get or the yum but the Slackware is not ubuntu
When checking for updates, does it only check the version found in SLACKBUILDS.TXT or also the BUILD variable of the SlackBuild? Because if just the BUILD number of a package increased, it then would not display it as an update, or does slpkg handle this differently? (I did not check it out yet, sorry.) It does look nice, though, I especially like how it displays packages to install with version, arch and repository etc.
root@desk:/etc# slpkg -c slack upgrade
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/slpkg", line 20, in <module>

slack_ver(), location, name)
IndexError: tuple index out of range
root@desk:/etc# slpkg -c sbo upgrade
No such package upgrade: Not installed
I'm using slackware-14.1 (not current and 32-bit).. Am I missing something?

Thanks for reporting that, but tell me which version uses ?

Yes, because they do not provide information on the state of the variable BUILD, file SLACKBUILDS.TXT. I will try in the future to add this feature as well.
