I recently installed multilib along with slackpkg+ on -current and am unsure of how to proceed with the results from "slackpkg upgrade-all". from what I understand, I do not need to blacklist [0-9]+alien and [0-9]+compat32 if I use slackpkg+, however on my system as of right now if I do not blacklist these then I'm getting some updates from slackware64's repository for glib*. if I blacklist the two aforementioned items then they disappear from the upgrade list, however I can't install anything frmo AlienBob's repository. did I miss something in my configuration?

Check your slackpkgplus.conf. Here's what I did in mine:
Now when I run slackpkg upgrade multilib, then install multilib, then upgrade-all I never see the official gcc or glibc packages, and I get all the updates from multilib as they become available.

you need to set the package priority etc in /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf

hah...a fraction too late with my response

wow, thank you both for the quick response! I copied over my config from backup and neglected to comb through the config assuming everything was correct and that priority was indeed commented out! thank you

glad to help. Don't forget to mark thread as solved!

Also you can use /usr/doc/slackpkg+-1.7.0/setupmultilib.sh to setup multilib
