building packages

binaries are compiled on Slackware 7.1 (glibc2.1.3) and then stripped.
Binaries can probably be built on any glibc2.1 platform (I think RH6.2
will still work, but 7.x are probably out since they use glibc2.2)

I have a script that automates the distribution to the trinux.org io.com
and sf.net sites but building the package is simply a tarball with a
startup script in /etc/init.d/package-name
