Motivation[edit]
Slackware (Q58436) is the oldest active Linux distribution. As it aims to be minimal, many rely on these curated user scripts for additional packages. Matthias M. (talk) 14:50, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
Discussion[edit]
Notified participants of WikiProject Informatics/FLOSS
Support Can be mass-imported from repology.org based on Repology project name (P6931). Formatter URL probably should be https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/$1 and updated when Slackware makes a new release (less than once a year). Dexxor (talk) 15:58, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
Done as SlackBuilds package (P12077) @Matthias M., Dexxor:. The regex will need to be changed once it's clear what characters are allowed. As for the formatter, you'd want to use one that is as stable as possible. The originally proposed one will remain stable even as packages are removed so this is the one I went with for that reason.
