edit: moved both arch to one post and made external links for package list (makes it easier to update)

@freestyler!
Thanks for your great contribution.
Regarding freemind-1.0.0-noarch-1_fs.tgz, why don't you update it to 1.0.1?
I hope the updated one will be also in 32 bit (i486) packages because you made it for me. :Rose:
Respecting Joint Support Force.
I want to call it Porteus "Operation Tomodachi". :friends:
Tomodachi means friends in Japanese and the former Operation has been given us after 3.11.2011.

Hey Obosan my tomodachi, :friends:
Thanks for pointing that out, I will update freemind to 1.0.1 later today.
The 32 bit repository is uploaded and ready to go, The 64 bit repository is still uploading, I have a really bad connection at the moment as I am on a sheep farm about 40 km to the nearest town. Hopefully it will be finished in the next 6 hours :P
If you notice anything else please let me know. I also started a package request thread here

Looking good. Great job. Shouldn't be difficult to integrate this into USM.

Great job.

Is it much to ask the rationale under the building of these specific series of packages?

i'm glad that we are giving something back to the Slackware community :)
switching from modules (porteus only) to packages was a good move.

thanks :)

@brokenman: Sweet, I still need to talk to you about the optifest and libs.txt files to make sure I'm doing it right. I think I'm doing something wrong.

@francios: My long term goal is to make a slack package for every slackbuild available and along the way I am making slackbuild scripts for packages that are not available on slackbuild. My short term goal was to add every studioware package (audio, video and graphic editing tools), which took 3 and a half days of headaches but they are all there now.

@fanthom: I've developed a real love for slackware since using porteus (nothing sexual... yet) Switching the package manager to slackware packages was brilliant and USM is genius, it has been a real game changer.

I'll be in amsterdam next week and will setup a couple dedicated build computers at my girlfriends place, she probably wont be very impressed, but I didn't grow a linux beard for nothing!

Hi freestyler

I have downloaded and tested Nagios. It is working but missing the plugins.
Could you also compile the plugins?

BTW, latest core download is 4.0.4

Thank you

Updated the repo:
added libreoffice 4.2.4, a few games on 64bit and heaps of system packages.

@cttan: sure, I'm about to crash out but in the morning I'll update the repo with latest nagios, nagios-plugins and nagiosgraph. Let me know if you want anything else added.

No problem. I will check if your server supports rsync and if so then I can take care of this. If not then I will write a script for you to generate the files. Main thing is to make sure no packages end up with unresolved dependencies or we just end up back where we started.
