Great! However, why don't you submit your packages to http://www.linuxpackages.org/? That's where I always look for contributed Slackware packages. I also packaged Hugs for them.
Yes, this is an option. The 6.6.1 was not completed though: I started contributing to XMonad and I needed to use the darcs version of many packages, so I never finished my SlackBuild collection. I'm trying to finish the SlackBuild scripts with the 6.8.1 tool chain. Then I will be able to submit the packages to linuxpackages.org and slackbuilds.org (and possibly slacky.it too ;) BTW, you can add http://gorgias.mine.nu/slack to the list of repositories in your slapt-get/swaret configuration file, and then use "slapt-get --search" to search for the packages you need (this way you may search many repositories at once - slacky.it should be one to have in you configuration, since packages quality is quite good, better than linuxpackages.org in my opinion). This is the way I go (well I actually prefer slackbuilds.org recently, and then build my own). Cheers, Andrea
