Slackware packages made by Alien ================================ Here you'll find the Slackware packages I built and that other people requested to be made available (or that I thought you might like). Alien's SlackBuilds contain a 'build' and a 'pkg' directory. The 'build' directory contains everything (SlackBuild script, slack-desc file. plus all the source files) you'll need when you want to build the packages yourself. The 'pkg' directory contains the binary packages, ready for installation using 'installpkg' or 'upgradepkg'. You'll find *.tgz (the package itself), *.txt (the package description) and *.md5 (containing the md5 checksum of the package) files in each 'pkg' directory. The optional 'tmp' directory contains the directory structure that is packed into _.tar.gz file in the 'build' directory. This is a skeleton for building the package. An easy way to download the 'build' directory for any of the available programs to your local computer is the following command (provided you installed the lftp package) - Change the string to the name of the package you want to download: lftp -c "open http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds//; mirror build" Then do cd build sh .SlackBuild to build a package which will be created in the /tmp directory. If you have any questions or requests, drop me a line. You can contact me in Libera.Chat IRC in #slackbuilds. Look out for alienBOB.
