It's at
ftp://sharon.esrac.ele.tue.nl/pub/linux/slackware/mger-pkgtools-1.0.tgz
It might move to
ftp://sharon.esrac.ele.tue.nl/pub/linux/slakware/
during the week-end.
It can be installed with `installpkg mger-pkgtools-1.0.tgz`
Usage:
First configure and make whatever source package.
Instead of a `make install` run `makeinstall` in the source directory of
whatever you want to make a package of.
To strip the package, run `strippkg <package_name>`.
To make a .tgz file, run `pkg2tgz <package_name>`.
