SlackBuild scripts for Slackware
================================

Those are [SlackBuilds](https://docs.slackware.com/slackware:slackbuild_scripts)
that I wrote for my Slackware installations.


Target Slackware versions
-------------------------
Each branch in this repository contains SlackBuild targeting a specific
version of Slackware. Normally, only one branch is “active” at any given time:
the branch for whatever version of Slackware I am currently using—I do not
maintain my SlackBuilds for other versions.

The current active branch is *current-20200608*. This branch targets a
snapshot of Slackware-current taken on 8 June 2020. Note that I do not *track*
-current: those SlackBuilds will *not* be regularly updated to reflect changes
happening on -current. Instead, after an arbitrarily defined period of time, I
will take another snapshot of -current and use that as the new target version,
and progressively update all the SlackBuilds accordingly. I will repeat that
until Slackware-15.0 is released.

The *slackware-14.2* branch is now mostly inactive as I have switched to
-current. However, as an exception to the above rule about maintaining
SlackBuilds for one version only, I still maintain—for now at least—all the
SlackBuilds in that branch related to the modern branch of *GnuPG* (that is,
*n/gnupg* itself and all its dependencies).


Disclaimer
----------
All those SlackBuilds are primarily intended for my own usage. Of course
everyone is free to use them as they see fit, but please understand that
you’re doing that at your own risks.

I used to also provide pre-compiled packages, which I made available as a
*slapt-get*-compatible source directory. I don’t advertise those packages
anymore and the publication of the directory is discontinued.


Copying
-------
All my SlackBuilds are distributed under the terms of a 1-clause BSD like
license, which is included in each SlackBuild script.
