What are slackware package tags?
by SlackCoder from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6KJYM)
Slackware package names are made up a few components, following the format '$PRGNAM-$VERSION-$ARCH-$BUILD$TAG.$PKGTYPE'.
The purpose of most are clear, PRGNAM (program or application name), ARCH (x86 etc). What is the purpose of 'TAG'? Slackware official packages sometimes use the Slackware version, third package sources like slackbuilds use their own (SBO).
Are there rules or best practices for TAG's? Under what circumstances should one use a new tag?
