15-Jul-2004 ----------- This directory contains additional 'extra' stuff which is not included in either slackware/ or extra/ in the real Slackware Linux project. If ARMedslack was an official Slackware port, this stuff would not be located here. These additional packages are mainly stuff that I find useful or use on a day to day basis. They are 'unsupported' in that they aren't part of the Slackware port, but if they are broken then I'd still like to receive bug reports. You may notice that I also provide an 'i486' directory. This is because I build packages for Slackware (the real x86 Slackware) using ARMedslack's source tree. I set PKGSTORE to /tmp and PKGSERIES to / so that the newly built binary .tgz packages are installed into /tmp. Building ix86 packages from this source tree ```````````````````````````````````````````` In order to build these packages for x86 Slackware you will need: [a] to install the armedslack-devel/slackkit-*.tgz package [b] modify /usr/share/slackdev/slackdev.config to set PORTARCH=i486. # cd sourcedir # ./i486/build If anybody wants to contribute anything to this section then please feel free to drop me an email. -- Stuart Winter
