SBOZYP

sbozyp is a package manager for Slackware's SlackBuilds.org.

I created sbozyp because I wanted to and do not claim that it is better, worse, or the same compared to its alternatives.

USER MANUAL

The user manual can be viewed online here, or after installation with $ man sbozyp.

FEATURES

• Built in dependency resolution
• Multiple repository support
• Pure CLI user interface (no ncurses)
• Package browsing, searching, and querying
• Requires zero dependencies on a full Slackware install
• Supports Slackware 15.0 and greater

Copy the example configuration:
