I use Freevo on Slackware 10 and I think it would be most beneficial to have all the deps seperately compiled and available as packages. I think it would greatly aid the average slackware user much better than having a huge package to install for minor upgrades.
On the other hand, if you wanted to pake a single monolithic package then it would be easier to make sure everything for freevo was compiled against the right versions of everything else. I've found it much easier to have everything seperate but that's possibly just because I've compiled all the deps myself and installed then with checkinstall. I would like to have access to a repository with both individual packages and a "whole shebang" package so I'd have the choice. Just some things to think about.
