-
-<p>Making Slackware packages can be either easy or difficult. There is no specific method
-for building a package. The only requirement is that the package be a tar gzipped file
-and if there is a postinstallation script, it must be <tt
-class="FILENAME">/install/doinst.sh</tt>.</p>
-
-<p>If you are interested in making packages for your system or for a network that you
-manage, you should have a look at the various build scripts in the Slackware source tree.
-There are several methods we use for making packages.</p>

-<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="PACKAGE-MANAGEMENT-EXPLODEPKG"
-name="PACKAGE-MANAGEMENT-EXPLODEPKG">18.3.1 <tt class="COMMAND">explodepkg</tt></a></h2>
-
-<p><tt class="COMMAND">explodepkg</tt>(8) will do the same thing that <tt
-class="COMMAND">installpkg</tt> does to extract the package, but it doesn't actually
-install it and it doesn't record it in the packages database. It simply extracts it to
-the current directory.</p>
-
-<p>If you look at the Slackware source tree, you will see how we use this command for
-&#8220;framework&#8221; packages. These packages contain a skeleton of what the final
-package will look like. They hold all the necessary filenames (zero-length), permissions,
-and ownerships. The build script will cat the package contents from the source directory
-to the package build directory.</p>

-<div class="SECT2">
-<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="PACKAGE-MANAGEMENT-MAKEPKG"
-name="PACKAGE-MANAGEMENT-MAKEPKG">18.3.2 <tt class="COMMAND">makepkg</tt></a></h2>
-
-<p><tt class="COMMAND">makepkg</tt>(8) will package up the current directory into a valid
-Slackware package. It will search the tree for any symbolic links and add a creation
-block to the postinstallation script for creating them during the package install. It
-also warns of any zero-length files in the package tree.</p>
-
-<p>This command is typically run after you have created your package tree.</p>

-name="PACKAGE-MANAGEMENT-SLACKBUILD-SCRIPTS">18.3.3 SlackBuild Scripts</a></h2>
-
-<p>Slackware packages are built in many different ways by necessity. Not all software
-packages are written by their programmers to compile the same way. Many have compile time
-options that are not all included in the packages Slackware uses. Perhaps you need some
-of this functionality; you'll need to compile your own package then. Fortunately for many
-Slackware packages, you can find SlackBuild scripts in the package's source code.</p>
-
-<p>So what is a SlackBuild script? SlackBuild scripts are executable shell scripts that
-you run as <tt class="USERNAME">root</tt> to configure, compile, and create Slackware
-packages. You can freely modify these scripts in the source directory and run them to
-create your own versions of the default Slackware packages.</p>
