Introduction
To install our slackbuilds we have an application to help the process.
To make the process a little simpler we have an application to download and install them: sepkg for building from slackbuilds, although sbopkg can also be used. It supports queue files, and will even download the queues from our server if needed.
1) Preparing Sepkg
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.
2) Installation
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
