Hi Richard, SlackBuilds.org is an one of the "official repositories" for Slackware. It provides scripts with build/install rules (so called SlackBuilds) that used to create packages from sources. This is correct way to install packages in Slackware.
Slackbuilds are bash scripts that contain all necessary information for creating package including compiler flags, configure options etc. So user always can look at this script, adjust it and create package with all desired functionality and without unused options. I contacted QGIS SlackBuild maintainer. Now at SlackBuilds.org there is a SlackBuild for QGIS 1.8. SlackBuild for QGIS 2.0 already uploaded (to be precise, it uploaded at 20-Sep-2013 19:33) and now waits for approval. When it will be approved, it automatically will replace old one for QGIS 1.8. So I hope we can add to downloads page link http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.0/academic/qgis/ Currently this is for version 1.8, I'll track it and when it will be updated I'll let you know 2013/9/30 Richard Duivenvoorde <[email protected]>: > On 30-09-13 11:27, Alexander Bruy wrote: >> Hi Richard, >> >> there is a SlackBuild script at Slackbuilds.org (which is preferred >> way to install packages in Slackware).
