slacktrack is a tool to assist with building Slackware packages from the < package >.build scripts that can be found in the distribution source tree.

slacktrack can also be used to build packages where Makefile does not honour any DESTDIR type variable, and enables end-users to create packages more easily.

altertrack is also included with slacktrack. This is a version of slacktrack which does not use installwatch, instead it compares the differences in the file system before and after the build.

slacktrack is based on the idea behind CheckInstall and uses installwatch.

What's New in This Release:
root:root ownerships for binaries and directories are now handled.
Some more paths were added to the excluded filesystems tracking paths list.
