swaret repository list, any addiction?


Hi all.

I'm searching for a complete repository list for swaret.

I'll cut and paste my list:

Inode is a mirror for linuxpackages.net. I use them because .. I don't know why, I only know that is fast and reliable.

I mantain mirror for all slack versions .. sometimes I need to install old packages, available only for older versions, so I mantain all version in my list ..

Do anyone knows other reposes to add?

I hope this can be useful..

Bye all

UPDATE:
I removed some dead reposes ...

You can removed all your LinuxPackages repositories lines. In France, many people say : "If Linux had malwares, it is called LinuxPackages". Guess why. By the way, nobody should advertise people who make really dumb decisions.

Please note that I have nothing against Jim Simmons (I don't even know him but he seems to be the main LinuxPackages responsible). His idea would probably be a good one if there was a trusted, dedicated team of people who accept only build scripts, verify them and build packages before providing them. But really, providing only third-party submitted, unverified, binary packages is a very bad idea. And yes, since the first time I have installed Linux Slackware, I have never used any LinuxPackages files.

However, it is your Slackware system, you can do whatever you want with it. But honestly, if you really want a Linux system with a powerfull package manager, just use Debian ! However, the best you can do is to use checkinstall or slacktrack first and then, you can learn to make your own packages, it's really easy.
