gnome-pkgtool is a GTK+/GNOME front-end to Slackware package management tools (pkgtool). With gnome-pkgtool you can do the following actions to your Slackware Linux installation:

• Install .TGZ packages
• Uninstall installed packages
• Re-install/upgrade installed packages
• Build packages from source and install them
• Inspect packages content

gnome-pkgtool relies on installpkg(8) and removepkg(8) tools for installing and uninstalling packages and on checkinstall for building packages from source.

Requirements:

• GTK+ version 2.4 or newer (from slackware-current)
• vte version 0.11.10 or newer (from gnome series)
• basic GNOME libraries (from gnome series)
