Setting Up Slackpkg+ In Slackware64 15

This is my procedure for setting up slackpkg+ on Slackware64 15.0. Slackpkg+ "is a simple plugin that allows the user to add third-party repositories to slackpkg."

  1. # Download the latest slackpkg+ from https://sourceforge.net/projects/slackpkgplus/files/ .

  2. # Then proceed with the following steps as root.

     installpkg slackpkg+*.t?z
     cp -p /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf.orig
    
  3. vi /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf #Have the following configured:

     REPOPLUS=( slackpkgplus restricted alienbob slackonly )
    
     # Slackware 15.0 - x86_64
     #MIRRORPLUS['multilib']=https://slackware.nl/people/alien/multilib/15.0/
     MIRRORPLUS['alienbob']=https://slackware.nl/people/alien/sbrepos/15.0/x86_64
     MIRRORPLUS['restricted']=https://slackware.nl/people/alien/restricted_sbrepos/15.0/x86_64
    
     # use this to keep the slackpkg+ package updated to the latest stable release
     MIRRORPLUS['slackpkgplus']=https://slakfinder.org/slackpkg+15/
     MIRRORPLUS['slackonly']=http://slackonly.com/pub/packages/15.0-x86_64/
    
  4. # If you haven’t enabled a mirror yet:

     cd /etc/slackpkg
     cp -p mirrors mirrors.orig
     vi mirrors # Enable a mirror.
    
  5. # Proceed with the following commands:

     slackpkg update gpg
     slackpkg update
     slackpkg upgrade-all
    
  6. # Execute only if new kernel is installed and you are using grub:

     grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    
  7. reboot
