slacker - slackpkg + slackpkg+ in one

A Slackware package manager in Rust with full slackpkg action parity, plus slackpkg+ multi-repo priority resolution.

  • slackpkg: official mirror, update/install/upgrade/remove/clean-system, file- search, templates, ChangeLog tracking, GPG, .new config handling.
  • slackpkg+: many repos in one priority-ordered model; the official mirror is just a repo whose priority you choose, so it can sit in any position.

Philosophy

  • Thin layer over the native pkgtools - never reimplements installpkg/upgradepkg/removepkg, just calls them.
  • Dependencies come only from a package's own .dep file no dependency guessing for official packages - Slackware tradition.
  • Synchronous; heavy lifting (bzip2 for MANIFEST, GPG) shells out to the system tools Slackware already ships, so no extra Rust deps.
  • Everything a user edits is plain text.
