I'm not sure if slapt-get can be used with SlackBuilds, but I'm not slapt-get user so I wouldn't be the best person to ask. I have used apt before (not sure if they pull packages the same), and from what I know about that you may be able to create a meta package of sorts that pulls all the dependencies for the slackbuild and then runs the slackbuild as the
doinst.sh file.<br><br>That sounds awefully messy to me though, and I'm not sure it would work.<br><br>You may want to take a look at <a href="http://archlinux.org">Arch Linux</a>. Its package manager handles dependancies, and has a SlackBuild like
<a href="http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS">build system</a> that may be closer to what you're looking for. The distro is similar to Slackware and I hear it's insanely fast.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">
