updates, and removes packages on Slackware based systems.
It automatically computes dependencies and figures out what
things should occur to install packages. Slpkg makes it easier
to maintain groups of machines without having to manually update.
Slpkg works in accordance with the standards of the organization

instructions for installation, upgrading or removing packages.
