yeah, most likely the newer version from salix would work too with 05-devel active
so anyway, i don't know what's going on with francois' setup, slpkg not finding it's own (python)module suggests something is messed up(either some other (porteus) module or in changes ... so check with a 'clean' system.

the config files:
Code: Select all
# ls /etc/slpkg
blacklist pkg_security slackware-mirrors
custom-repositories repositories.conf slpkg.conf
default-repositories rlworkman.deps slpkg.conf.orig
read them, they're mostly self explanatory
ones to note: slpkg.conf ... probly ok as is .. maybe change EDITOR=nano to your favourite editor
repositories.conf ... only slackware and sbo enabled atm enable what you want
slackware-mirrors ... uncomment someplace nearby will probly work better for you
blacklist ... handy for deps you don't want/need or already have by a different name
looking at
https://dslackw.gitlab.io/slpkg/
seems like much has changed since 3.9.6 >> 4.1.7
looks like the new version only handles sbo
