Building salix packages?

[davidlondon]

Hi,

I intend to install salix on my old dell laptop. My main problem will be building packages from source and from archives created by rpm2targz.

I have rpms for my printer driver and there are a few packages that I will need to build from source including python based packages (mnemosyne). I don't want to install anything unless it's a package that I can remove using normal package management- so './configure, make & make install' is not really an option.

Is there a more comprehensive guide for building packages for Salix?
Does checkinstall work with Salix?
Can slackware 13.1 packages be used with Salix?

Thanks for any advice,

David

Yes you can use slackware 13.1 packagers with Salix 13.1.
