Quite soon a new site will be ran on the server - SlackPack. This will be a site for the Slackware packages, created by Georgi Sotirov. The site will allow criteria search, full review of the packages and will offer feeds with the newest publications.

Slackware packages repositories

From today the Slackware package repositories found on this server are availiable to automatic instruments such as swaret and slapt-get. It is not recomended the use of the current repository, because there are packages without determined dependencies.

To use the repositories you need to modify the corresponding configuration file, by adding the following lines:

  • For Slackware 11.0
    • swaret.conf
      REPOS_ROOT=SlackPack%ftp://sotirov-bg.net/pub/contrib/slackware/packages/11.0/      # by FTP
      REPOS_ROOT=SlackPack%http://ftp.sotirov-bg.net/pub/contrib/slackware/packages/11.0/ # by HTTP
    • slapt-getrc
      SOURCE=SlackPack%ftp://sotirov-bg.net/pub/contrib/slackware/packages/11.0/          # by FTP
      SOURCE=SlackPack%http://ftp.sotirov-bg.net/pub/contrib/slackware/packages/11.0/     # by HTTP
  • For Slackware 10.2
    • swaret.conf
      REPOS_ROOT=SlackPack%ftp://sotirov-bg.net/pub/contrib/slackware/packages/10.2/      # by FTP
      REPOS_ROOT=SlackPack%http://ftp.sotirov-bg.net/pub/contrib/slackware/packages/10.2/ # by HTTP
    • slapt-getrc
      SOURCE=SlackPack%ftp://sotirov-bg.net/pub/contrib/slackware/packages/10.2/          # by FTP
      SOURCE=SlackPack%http://ftp.sotirov-bg.net/pub/contrib/slackware/packages/10.2/     # by HTTP

Soon the fill of the new 11.0 repository will begin, but as far as possible the 10.2 repository will be supported too.

Happy using!
