Re: Does any of you use a Whatsapp Linux client?

[Linux for blind general discussion <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ibrahim,

When using slapt-src the packages are built on your machine from scripts 
available at https://slackbuilds.org.

For that you need to first type as root:
slapt-src -u
or
slapt-src --update

This will update the local cache of the remote slackbuilds, writing the 
file:
/tmp/slapt-src/slackbuilds-data

To know more:
slapt-src --help
man slapt-src
https://slint.fr/doc/HandBook.html#software_management
and more specifically:
https://slint.fr/doc/HandBook.html#slapt_src

Cheers,
Didier
