I have setup my own remote repository for Slackware ARM. I have generated all the repo files with alien's gen_repos_files.sh script but it seems slackpkg+ ignores all of my packages.
I have noticed that my packages do not appear in the /var/lib/slackpkg/pkglist file. I have traced this to these lines of /usr/libexec/slackpkg/functions.d/slackpkgplus.sh. Their purpose seem to be to filter out packages not meant for the current machine architecture, but the way the filters are setup is at least questionable, and they will always result in arm packages being filtered out, even when running on an actual ARM system.
I have worked around the issue by modifying the FILTEREXCLUDE, but I think a proper solution is needed.
