my-slackbuilds

Personal collection of SlackBuild scripts by danix, following SlackBuilds.org (SBo) conventions.

Primarily targeting Slackware64-current.

This repository serves two purposes:

• New packages — SlackBuilds for programs not yet available on SBo
• Updated packages — SlackBuilds for programs already on SBo but whose official build lags behind the latest upstream release

Repository Structure

Each package lives in its own top-level subfolder:

<package-name>/
├── <package-name>.SlackBuild   # Main build script
├── <package-name>.info         # Metadata (version, checksums, URLs)
├── README                      # Description and usage notes
├── slack-desc                  # Package description (11-line format)
└── <package-name>.desktop      # (optional) Desktop entry for GUI apps
