The first package on SlackPack for the recently relased Slackware 13.0 is SWareT. The main reason for its realase are the new package formats (tbz, tlz and txz), introduced with the latest Slackware relase. I've patched the original SWareT 1.6.3 release to enable support for these new formats and update the Bulgarian localization.
Enjoy using this excelent tool!

After "most intesive periods of development in Slackware's history" the new stable relase Slackware 13.0 is out. It includes completely reworked collection of X packages, major upgrades to the desktop environments, new package formats with much better compression (.txz, .tbz, .tlz), upgrades in the development system, network services and libraries, miscelaneus upgrades. This is the first relase with native support for the 64 bit x86_64 architecture.
