I knew http://www.slackbuilds.org but I have found
http://www.slackbuilds.net. It is based on the same context (the
explanations are in French but you can easily get the build scripts;
click on "slackbuilds" and you will find a svn link). They have
apparently more packages (including a set of buildscript for Gnome).
Anyone knew that? I wonder why two projects are needed.

The two projects are maintained by different groups and with different
goals. Use whichever you prefer, though fo obvious reasons I prefer
SBo.

SBo (my short-hand from slackbuilds.org) tries to make build scripts
available that are as "true" to how we feel Pat would make them
himself. In other words, there's no extraneous dependency management
beyond a README file, everything is pacakged up in /usr, and by and
large we try to keep them as simple as possible. Each script in our
repository is checked over by at least 1 member of the admin team to
ensure that it is "perfect" (for some definition of "perfect"). We try
to weed out any major problems and ensure that each will compile just
fine on a stock Slackware installation.

I cannot speak for slackbuilds.net as I am unfamiliar with that
project.

IMHO, they are needed by the same reason why multiple Linux
distributions are needed. Maybe just for fun? ;-)

Because slackbuilds.org does not support fakeroot (or you have to
execute all the script with fakeroot, which sometimes fails).

Both disregard an important point though: they install in /usr by
default, whereas they *should* install in /usr/local (that's why PV set
$PATH as /usr/local:...)

I say !

no sorry, I'm using aioe server, an open nntp server, and sometime it
seems to have some problem : give my client an error (about size) but
the msg seem to pass anyway.

another time, sorry for repetitions.

It's the pgp that's doing it. Try removing pgp from all of your
applications.

cordially, as always,

No - "/usr/local" is for my very private packets. Not for "world wide"
packages close to the official packets.

NO.
/usr/local is for _all_ packages which are not official.
What if you have package X from slackbuild, not in slackware 12, but
that will be in slackware 13?

We tried removing your mother, but that didn't help us with
you, did it..?
