slackpkg+-1.8.1-noarch-1alien.txz has been added to /extra. Previously avoided due to potential breakage from third-party repos (e.g., incompatible shared libraries), it’s now included as alienBOB has fixed known bugs. Use with caution: third-party packages can impact your system. Thanks to phenixia2003, zerouno, and alienBOB for their contributions and maintenance!

Mirror for slackpkg+ and slakfinder

For some time now, the slakfinder.org website has been offline. The domain still exists, but the web site just does not respond. Matteo Rossini (zerouno) needed a break from computers, so it is likely that the site won't return on short notice.

The effect of the site's unavailability becomes quite obvious if you use
