Installing soft from third-party repos and sharing it
by exfx from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4XG0K)
Hello.
I'm pretty new to Slackware as well as to building packages from source (even with support of automation tools). I wonder how should i deal with third-party repos like slackbuilds repo of Ponce or AlienBob to keep my system clean and robust. Is it enough to use slackpg+ and sbopkg to install packages? Or i need some extra steps besides reading changelog? I've already installed multilib and wine from AlienBob repo and some packages from Ponce repo. The process is quit simple but not clear in depth for me, That's why i'm not certain was it installed as it should be or were there any (hidden) problems i should pay attention to. What should i do to prevent becoming my system a trash?
The second question is what's the simplest solution to share packages i've already build and installed. Let's say i have two separated systems (both current) and i'd like to share every installed package between them. Is it enough to copy .t?z archive from a system where i built a package to the second system and install it if any dependencies are satisfied?
