[done] Slackware vs. Arch / swaret

[damNageHack]

A little bit old and maybe then partly outdated, but cool:

Some good hints are in the article, for example http://sourceforge.net/projects/swaret/

swaret lets you keep your Slackware system up to date. It functions similarly to apt-get, the Debian package manager.

Has somebody experience in using swaret? What could be an (dis)advantage vs. gslapt?

There is a patch to get swaret work with the new package formats: http://sotirov-bg.net/slackpack/news.cgi?id=20

I think swaret is (or at least appears to be) abandoned. I did have a look at that a long time ago and if I remember right, it was using a qt based gui and didn't have most of the features slapt-get has.

Yep, same here.

and if I remember right, it was using a qt based gui and didn't have most of the features slapt-get has.

I did not even know it had a GUI.

And as far as I remember swaret doesn't support multiple repos.
