Src2pkg appears dormant... with no new posts by the author for the last 2 years both on this forum or the websites ftp.
I've had difficulty compiling so I'm trying to obtain the old 3.0 rc1 05-devel.xzm which includes src2pkg.

The primary bottleneck appears to be src2pkg setup which installs deprecated "helper" binaries.

There is a noarch slackware package available right on the website. No need to compile.

I'm not having difficulty compiling src2pkg... I'm having difficulty compiling 'with' src2pkg...
The (current?) src2pkg "helper" binaries are deprecated so an older 05-devel.xzm is required that includes src2pkg.

Oh, I see. In that case you can get it in the archive folder on our server.

Actually... you really don't need the old 05-devel.xzm (3.0) to use src2pkg.
Unfortunately... you need the old one to build "src2pkg-helpers" to use with the new one.

After running src2pkg --setup... (w/ the old 05-devel.xzm) the "src2pkg-helpers" *.tgz can be located @...
/usr/src/src2pkg/src2pkg-helpers/src2pkg-helpers-1.6-x86_64-1.tgz

I guess it's time for a tutorial...
