Slackpkg is a good package manager for slackware that help the user to keep updated its installation.

The Slackpkg+ project is a simple plugin that allow the user to add third-party repositories to slackpkg so to use a single tool for keep update the slackware installation and to install non-official packages.
Like slackpkg, slackpkg+ leave unchanged the slackware philosophy becouse the user take full control of installation process.

Slackpkg+ also allow to install and keep updated the alienbob's compat32 libraries so to have a multilib system without download and install it manually.

Slackpkg+ is NOT a new tool with new commands. The user can continue to use the standard slackpkg command line:

# slackpkg update gpg
# slackpkg update
# slackpkg install openjdk
# slackpkg upgrade-all

etc..
