[sbopkg-users] Sbopkg Development Announcement

[gmartin]

Chess, sbopkg. like Slackbuilds.org, is an important part of the Slackware
community.  The two combined have allowed Slackware to move outside the
realm of geekdom into the hands of hobbiests and IT pros.  I appreciate the
time you invested into sbopkg and your willingness to let it go free once
your time dried up.

I also look forward to the future development that slakmagik and Mauro may
bring
