Slackpkg+ is NOT a new tool with new commands. Slackpkg+ also allow to install and keep updated the alienbob's compat32 libraries so to have a multilib system without download and install it manually. Like slackpkg, slackpkg+ leave unchanged the slackware philosophy becouse the user take full control of installation process.
The Slackpkg+ project is a simple plugin that allow the user to add third-party repositories to slackpkg so to use a single tool for keep update the slackware installation and to install non-official packages. Slackpkg is a good package manager for slackware that help the user to keep updated its installation. (see /usr/doc/slackpkg+-1.7.9 for details and notes):Ĭd /usr/doc/slackpkg+-1.7.9 (setupmultilib.sh) On the video one should take notes for the edits.

The Slackware package has a couple of tweaks because we obviously do not have all the expected Ubuntu tools on board. From then on, the steamclient will keep its runtime libraries up-to-date automatically, every time it starts up and connects to the Steam servers. When you first start ‘ steam’ from the menu or from the X terminal command-line, the client scripts will download a larger set of runtime libraries, including 64-bit support.
The package installs a couple of scripts and a 32-bit Linux runtime based on Ubuntu, and adds a desktop menu entry so that you can easily start Steam. The steamclient package which I create from this release tarball is meant to bootstrap the installation of Valve’s Steam gaming platform on your Slackware computer. The 1.0.0.76 version is built using an updated Steam client: A few weeks ago, Valve‘s official Linux binaries for its steamclient got an update.
