[SOLVED] packages.slackware.it abandoned?

Whatever happened to the package browser at http://packages.slackware.it/ ? The main web page has gone unchanged for longer than I can remember, and the twitter feed appears to have stalled in October 2009.

I have had the same experience and have seen no news.

Try Slackbuilds, if you haven't already. It has a large and active support community.

try this

http://packages.slackverse.org/

bye

Thanks Barx, that's exactly what I was looking for.

I often find it handy to be able to search for specific libraries within packages rather than explode the entire l directory and dig within it.

If you need to search files and libraries you can also use

Code:

slackpkg file-search <filename>
