+============================================================================+ | S L A C K D C E M A N I F E S T | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Mon Apr 28 2025 | +============================================================================+ | | | THIS PROJECT, "SLACKDCE", OPPOSES THE USE OF SLACKBUILDS. | | SLACKBUILDS RECOMPILE EACH SUBMITTED PROGRAM JUST FOR TESTING, THEN | | DISCARD THE RESULTING PACKAGE WASTING A BUILD THAT COULD BE USED BY | | THE END USER. | | | | WE REBUILD THESE PACKAGES WITH CARE AND EFFORT SO THAT SLACKWARE USERS | | CAN HAVE A PROPER REPOSITORY, JUST LIKE IN ANY OTHER LINUX DISTRIBUTION. | | | | The SlackDCE repository update will take place once donations | | reach 100 dollars. After that, the counter will be reset. | | | | =============================================== | | DONATE -> https://paypal.me/eduardocastillo1170 | | =============================================== | | | | In our commitment to the principles of transparency, | | collaboration, and adherence to the Slackware philosophy, | | we present the following manifesto for SlackDCE, | | a repository dedicated to Slackware 15.0 64-bit. | | | | **Repository Details** | | - The repository is exclusively dedicated to Slackware 15.0 64-bit. | | | | **Package Origin** | | - All packages in the repository are carefully crafted | | using SlackBuild files as a base. | | | | **Source Code Availability** | | - The source code of the packages comes from the respected | | platform https://slackbuilds.org/ | | | | **Automatic Updates** | | - SlackDCE performs updates every 1st day of each month, | | this is done because while the server is updating, | | it does not process CHECKSUMS.md5, which would cause | | verification errors when installing a package. | | | | **Dynamic Change Reflection** | | - Any addition or removal of a program in SlackBuild is | | immediately reflected in SlackDCE. | | | | **Collaboration Protocol** | | - Potential contributors are encouraged to follow | | the detailed guidelines at https://slackbuilds.org/guidelines/ | | Upon the successful creation and activation of a program in | | SlackBuild, it is automatically incorporated into SlackDCE. | | | | **Inclusive Package Selection** | | - SlackDCE strictly adheres to the principle of containing | | only programs that are present in the SlackBuild repository. | | | | **Limited Responsibility** | | - SlackDCE assumes no responsibility for the use or any | | damage resulting to the system or hardware caused by the | | hosted programs. | | | | **Unaltered Compilation** | | - Programs in SlackDCE are compiled exactly as they exist | | in the original SlackBuild repository https://slackbuilds.org/ | | repository/15.0/ | | | | **Acknowledgment of Errors** | | - In the rare event of missing programs due to broken download | | links or errors in .SlackBuild files, such discrepancies | | are beyond SlackDCE's control. | | | | By maintaining these principles, SlackDCE strives to provide a | | reliable and transparent platform for the Slackware community, | | promoting collaboration and the unaltered availability of | | quality software. | | | | ## The scripts that generate this repository were written by me, | | and as such, I reserve the right not to make them public at this time. | | | | Eduardo Castillo | | https://web.libera.chat/#slackdce | | | | ------------------------------------------------------- | | Special thanks to \_(>.<)_/ | | | | >>> Patrick Volkerding | | >>> Darren Austin | | | +============================================================================+
