Is there any chance of you (SARPI guys) setting up a slackpkg compatible repository so we can use Slackpkg+ to update to your latest packages?

It's very possible but not sure if it's probable. We'll get back to you with a definitive answer.

[UPDATE] "No" is the short answer if hosting it on the fatdog.nl network. The demands on bandwidth alone means it's not a viable option for us at the moment. If there are other options then they need to be imparted and discussed.
