stpkg-0.5a for Slackware Linux has been released
From the author:
You can download stp on sourceforge:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ftpkg/stpkg-0.5a-noarch-1.tgz?download
note: "stp" means please 
it doesnt cost anything to be polite with your system.
one command to search, compare, download, build or install and update packages from slackware , linuxpackages.net, gnu.org and sourceforge.net mirrors, .deb .rpm and tar archives from anywhere, tracking dependencies (and much more)
using any livecd you can use stp to update machines from any distribution to slackware, or install a full slackware distribution with one command line
slacktrack, slapt-get, stp and swaret..
im not alone... although when i started stp in february 2003 it was less obvious
anyway (or maybe because of this) i'll continue to regulary spend some time for it as im free to spend as much time i want for it. Life is beautiful version 0.5 of the Slackware stp package manager is out !
i'll adapt it to another distribution. i want a unique command able to install all the main packages formats on any distribution. people could help me adapt it or extend it for what they are using. basically if there is a command to install/remove/update a package on your distribution that's easy to do so
mail me if you need assistance using stp
regards,

Samba Version 3.0.0Samba is an SMB file and print server for SMB and CIFS clients. It allows you to make file space or printers on a Samba host available to any PCs running SMB clients (such as PCs running Windows). If you have any SMB servers (such as Windows NT/2K Server), you may be able to replace them by or supplement them with Samba. One of Samba's big strengths is integration, so you can use it to tie together your Linux hosts and Windows PC clients.

kahakai Version 0.5Kahakai is a fork of the Waimea window manager (www.waimea.org), with the goal of allowing as much internal customization as possible. Kahakai uses SWIG (www.swig.org) to provide wrappers that allow high-level scripting languages to access the internals of the core of the window manager, which is written in C++. NOTE: built with Imlib2 support, so depends on that.
