slapt-get

libcurl provides support for ftp, ftps, http, https, file:// and other resource types along with transfer resume for incomplete downloads.

slapt-get provides a simple configuration file format that includes an exclusion mechanism for use with the system upgrade option as well as declarations for all desired package sources.

It does, however, provide a framework for dependency resolution[4] in Slackware compatible packages similar in fashion to the hand-tuned method APT utilizes.

These files can be extended, as discussed in the previous section, to add dependency listings, conflict information, and package suggestions.

GSlapt is a GTK+ frontend to libslapt, the slapt-get library which provides advanced package management for Slackware and its derivatives.

Inspired by the functionality present in Synaptic, Gslapt aims to bring the ease of use enjoyed by Debian and its derivatives to the Slackware world.
