I'm using slackware-current. I've just mirrored Dropline GNOME packages for version 3.38 locally and created
a slackpkg+ repository from it using the `gen_repos_files.sh` tools. Everything works fine except upgrading the packages. To keep Dropline GNOME working, i want to upgrade its packages (pattern `[0-9]+dl`) with packages coming from the same repository only, to prevent upgrading Dropline packages with packages of the same name coming from the slackware-current repository.
Is that possible in `slackpkg.conf` or `slackpkgplus.conf`?
That is what I have been trying to work on with Saxa but I have been really busy with work and family that I haven't completed the Changelog file or any of the other files needed to make it slackpkg+ complaint.
I have a partial Changelog.txt file if you would like to take a look at it and complete as much as you can.
my personal e-mail address is naterussell83@gmail.com, I can send you the files that I have currently done. One thing I am missing is like i said a complete changelog and a GPG-KEY.

Have you added your local repository?
Here is my slackpkgplus.conf, applicable lines on how I would achieve this. I use gen_repos_files.sh on my local nonslack repository. I have removed some of my entries to avoid confusion.
Code:
PKGS_PRIORITY=( slackware64:id3lib ) # Added 2018-01-09, also in alienbob
# I put dropline where I would most likely put it.
PKGS_PRIORITY+=( nonslack slackpkgplus multilib dropline restricted alienbob )
REPOPLUS=( nonslack slackpkgplus multilib dropline restricted alienbob )

# dropline GNOME local mirror were I would place it. Fix it for yours.

It would be nice to see your slackpkgplus.conf though, so I can see what you are doing.

Hi chrisretusn
yes, i have added my local deopline repo, this is my slackpkgplus.conf file (at least the parts that i've changed:
Code:
# i do not use priority yet
#PKGS_PRIORITY=( dropline )
REPOPLUS=( slackpkgplus alienbob restricted dropline )

the problem is that `slackpkg upgrade-all` still wants to upgrade for example NetworkManager-openvpn from dropline to slackware64, which might break
functionality. I want dropline packages to remain dropline's :-)
i managed to attach the files you wanted :-)
it took longer than install Slackware.....
* remove the .txt suffix and you got a normal gzipped text file
* i had to split the CHECKSUMS into 3 files, so concatenate them in order once you ungzip them

good luck!
slackpkg+ suggets to upgrade NetworkManager-openvpn to the stock slackware version because it is no longer in the dropline repository:
