slackpkg+
 

slackpkg+ can be installed to easily make use of the many extra packages provided. :)

After installing it, need to update GPG. Then slackpkg update may fail:

To workaround, try the following:
/etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf can be edited to add the repos and set priority. See README for more info.

slackbuilds.org aarch64 support
 

As slackbuilds.org does not support aarch64 currently, a guide for new users how to use it.

Most slackbuilds just need an edit and add LIBDIRSUFFIX to compile and work correctly. This can be done manually for each slackbuild. Or a build script can be used to automate it using command (like here):

The above can also be added to package building tools. For example I added aarch64 support in git version of asbt and use it to build packages without making any changes. :)

update libreoffice-6.4.0.3-aarch64-1mara.txz

update qt5-5.14.1-aarch64-1mara.txz

3space.xyz going away soon....
 

I am regretful to report that my mirror has become unstable. My hosting provider has been removing package files from my mirror because of false positive virus scan reports. They also do not understand the nature of the project very well, they are accusing me of "file-sharing", which I suppose is true in a very loose sense, but not like what they mean. I mean, I can right-click-save-as just about any resource on the web, does that make them ALL guilty of "file sharing"? What would the Internet be like if we could not exchange any files at all? No website would ever load. Anyway, I digress....

The point is that I have to shut my mirror down soon. I might be able to set up another in the future, but for now I am focused on some other urgent projects. Please remove the following mirror links from the /etc/slackpkg/mirrors file if you can, or just be sure to not use them at all:

#http://3space.xyz/slarm64-current/
#https://3space.xyz/slarm64-current/

Side note, there is one not on your list that seems usable, but I am not sure if you are aware of it:

https://osdn.net/projects/slarm64/st...arm64-current/

It seems a bit slow, but it also seems like it stays updated, which is the most important part.

I will post here if anything changes.

thanks for the work you've done.
I will delete the mirror later.

What works on this? It doesn't seem to handle rsync, or ftp, and wget -mirror is likely to bring in a petabyte. I've had bad experiences with that before.

That does it all right. I had forgotten about -r on wget. Downloading as I write.

EDIT: I see what is meant 'a bit slow.' It's hours later, and the d/l is still going painfully slow. Are they on dialup?

The recent boost upgrade broke a few third party packages, not least of which was LibreOffice. Since it took nearly 72 hours to rebuild, I thought it was worth sharing here.

This is a standalone package with no dependencies aside from stock Slackware stuff, built against the latest boost libraries:
