-[Slackware]'s PackageManagementTool
.%%%
-Basically just a
TarBall with
a desciption and postinstall script.%%%
-Can be enhanced with
[swaret | http://www.swaret.org/] which works
much like
[Debian]'s [APT] system.
+[Slackware]'s PackageManagement format
.
+
+These are simply [
TarBall]s of the software, to be extracted in the filesystem root. They contain
a desciption and postinstall script in __/install__, which are removed after successful installation. It doesn't get any more bare bones
.
+
+A large repository of [Slackware] packages is available at [http://www.linuxpackages.net/].
+
+You can use
[swaret | http://www.swaret.org/] or [Slapt-Get | http://software.jaos.org/] to achieve dependency handling on [Slackware]
much the way
[Debian]'s [APT] system works
.
