Project Description

Getpkg is used to download and install packages
for Slackware Linux. It is menu-driven, allowing
the user to choose program options by entering
menu choices. Its menus are generated using the
dialog utility. It creates the folder ~/.getpkg
and stores configuration options and downloaded
packages within that folder. It requires Slackware
and Python.

Support for unofficial packages from
linuxpackages.net mirrors was added. The
read_filelist and read_UO_filelist functions were
refined to account for variation in different
versions. All dialog boxes were resized so that
the program will operate in windows that are
80x25. A function to check the size of the
terminal window was added, and the user is
prompted to exit if the window is too small.
