yes, zerouno had to take some time away from technology and asked to his italian fellows through his brother to host that courtesy page, the slackpkg+ sources and packages so the slakfinder.org domain is pointing momentarily at my own server.
as I didn't have available the up2date code for the package search engine I asked Eric for permission to redirect to his own version of it and he kindly agreed.
Well i still hope he is ok, and it's good to hear what happened, also i hope he finds what he needs. Sometimes you need to step away from things for a while.
Myself i hope to have a vacation in the near future preferably this year.
Any chance slackpkg can print a report of all installed packages from this session, after it finishes with install and/or setting up new config files (if applicable)? Sometimes there are one too many new packages it is kind of tricky to remember what was installed and what services needs restart. While it does show a similar list with files locally available after the wget session, that gets buried quickly with all the upgrade output.

An alternative solution is to run htop and note which executables are highlighted in yellow or red, indicating that the disk file changed since the process was loaded.

Thank you.
Since your posting this in a slackpkg+ thread, I will guess you are using slackpkg+.
slackpkg+ already has this, look at /var/lib/slackpkg/install.log. It's a record of everything installed, reinstalled, removed and upgraded. Here is the tail of the install.log on this computer.
suggesting install new packages from other repositories
I use slackpkg+dev and now it's suggesting install any new packages from other repositories than Slackware. For example, apparently alienBOB recently created ghostwriter, and when I 'slackpkg update' it suggests install that, when it should only suggest install upgrades to alienBOB's packages I already have installed, not suggest install every new one he makes.

AlienBob's repository has carried ghostwriter for a while. The issue is Slackware -current added it, "Fri Apr 21 06:02:04 UTC 2023"
Your solution until it's removed from AlienBob's repository is to do this to slackpkgplus.conf
Can you blacklist packages from certain repositories, like 'alienbob:bitcoin' which hasn't been updated in years so is many versions behind the official version?
