Hello,
is it safe to add and use the "slacky.eu" repository, together with the standard salix one?
Thanks

Re: slacky.eu repository
Thanks I asked just to be safe, since it could happen that some packages appear on both repositories...in that case I suppose I had to choose the one I like, isn't it?gapan wrote:It is exactly as safe as it is for slackware.
Thanks again
Re: slacky.eu repository
Yes. You could also set repository priorities in a way that packages from salix are always preferred over ones from slacky.eu or the other way around.
And since you're saying that you have slackware 13.0 installed (in the other thread) you can safely add the salix repository there too (more safely that the slacky repository if you ask me )

Re: slacky.eu repository
Apparently it's safe. Just don't expect things to actually install.

but it seems to be easily workarounded manually installing this:
