gnome-pkgtool is a GTK+/GNOME front-end to Slackware package management tools (pkgtool). You can install/uninstall/upgrade .tgz packages, build packages from source and install them, and inspect package content. It relies on the installpkg(8) and removepkg(8) tools for installing and uninstalling packages, and on checkinstall for building packages from source.

Release Notes: This release has a rewritten packages list that supports fancy package icons and some basic package type auto-detection (for packages that don't seem to have an associated icon). You can search a package using Ctrl+F (a la GtkFileChooser). There are several minor improvements and bugfixes.
