>I have a question regarding the existing Iosevka SlackBuild:
>https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/system/Iosevka/
>
>Locally, I maintain a variant that installs only the Regular and Bold
>TTC files from the upstream Iosevka release, covering the usual
>Regular/Bold/Italic styles used by terminals, window managers, and
>editors.
>
>This would not replace the current iosevka package, but be a separate
>package (with a different name) that conflicts with it, similar in
>spirit to how some Slackware font packages ship a limited set of styles
>(e.g. hack-fonts-ttf). Possible names could be iosevka-term,
>iosevka-ttf-basic, or iosevka-core.
>
>Before attempting any submission, I wanted to ask whether such a package
>would be acceptable for SBo, or if this is better kept as a local
>customization.


You can add a note in the README that it will conflict with other package as
long as it doesn't touch Slackware's core packages/files
