To make the process a little simpler we have an application to download, build and install packages: sepkg. It supports queue files, and will even download the queues from our server if needed.
You will need around 12GB of free space to build all the packages in a full install.
First you need to grab the latest versions and install it with installpkg:
http://studioware.org/files/tools/sepkg/
# installpkg sepkg-VERSION-noarch-TAG.txz
Next step is to check that it is pointing at the right branch.
Edit /etc/sepkg/sepkg.conf and change SWVERSION to also reflect your Slackware version.
Once that is done we need to fetch the latest file lists from our servers using the -u flag.
sepkg -u
You should now be able to build/install packages.
We have three main categories of applications: audio, video and photo. They are maintained by queue files. There is also a 'full' queue.
If you want a certain category - say audio - then you can use sepkg to download and build/install all the audio applications with the -q flag:
sepkg -q audio
That's it. Now start using your apps.
