Like Niels mentioned, there isn't a list per se', because we don't *maintain* any packages - just the scripts here. You have to d/l the source yourself. If there are security issues, then the responsibility is upon you, as the administrator, to follow progress with the upstream developers, since it is there where one would find (if it exists), the security lists or announcement methods that pertain to that/those particular software package[s]. That having been said, there is a vehicle for maintaining the software you install via the Slackbuilds site - much along the lines of how slackpkg keeps your Slackware machine updated with the latest releases from the oficial stable Slackware releases. That vehicle is called *sbopkg*, and you can d/l it at http://sbopkg.org Once installed, it syncs with the SBo repo and you can check for updates whenever you choose. When there are new releases of the software you have installed, the SBo scripts are updated here as well (in a reasonable amount of time). When that happens, sbopkg will inform you of the new releases and offer you the opportunity to install it. Beyond that, there are also queuefiles, which is a pretty comprehensive endeavor to resolve dependencies via the SBo repo. For that, there are a couple of options, but perhaps the newest one that has been working for most folks is the one by Chess Griffen here: https://code.google.com/p/sbopkg/source/browse/trunk/src/usr/doc/contrib/sqg I haven't personally used sqg myself. It's basically a helper for the manual way that I still tend to install queuefile support - in the following manner: # cd /var/lib/sbopkg # git clone git://gitorious.org/sbopkg-slackware-queues/sbopkg-slackware-queues.git queues # sbopkg -i <package_name>.sqf -k To keep it up to date, you occasionally should: # cd /var/lib/sbopkg/queues # git pull But sqg should handle all of that for you :) There are also numerous other news articles and Slackware related items that are regularly shared with everyone at the Google Plus Slackware Linux Community here: https://plus.google.com/communities/104043194426129544738 - including discussions about Enlightenment and Mate for Slackware and sqg too. To follow a little bit on the development end of sqg, see this thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/sqg-sbopkg-queuefile-generator-4175451646/ And don't forget about http://docs.slackware.com either. Welcome to SBo Alain, it took you long enough to get here ;) I hope that helps! Kindest regards, - -- Bradley D.
