Welcome
KSlacky InfoPkg (KSIP) is a graphic tool for GNU/Linux Slackware that provide a user friendly interface to pkgtool.
With KSIP you will be able to manage .tgz packages on your system in simplicity and security. All operations are planned by user and only when is required the user will have to go in root mode (but every operations will still be performed by KSIP).
KSIP is able to:
- Show informations about packages installed on the system
- Search through the package list with regular expressions
- Install new packages
- Upgrade packages
- Remove packages
Technically speaking
From a technical point of view, KSIP is developed in C++ and Qt4.
Until KSIP 1.4, KDE4 is still required in order to work. Since the 1.5 version, the program contains Qt4 code only, so you will be able to run KSlacky InfoPkg on your favourite desktop environment.
