KSlacky InfoPkg (KSIP) is a graphic tool for GNU/Linux Slackware that provide a 
user friendly interface to pkgtool.
With KSIP you will be able to manage .tgz packages on your system in simplicity 
and security. All operations are planned by user and only when is required the 
user will have to go in root mode (but every operations will still be performed 
by KSIP).
KSIP is able to:
    * Show informations about packages installed on the system
    * Search through the package list with regular expressions
    * Install new packages
    * Upgrade packages
    * Remove packages

INSTALLATION
-Generate a makefile
$ qmake -o Makefile ksip.pro

-Compile the program
$ make

-Run the program
$ ./kslackyinfopkg

USAGE
Run the program.
KSIP automatically loads the list of packages installed on your system.
The LCD panel on the  bottom shows you the number of packages on your Slackware.
On the top of the lcd there is a text box where you put the search pattern
for pkg seaching.
On the right you can see 2 radio buttons that make you able to select
 -simple search (inserting a [text] ksip will try to find a package name with 
  [text] inside.
 -regex search (inserting a regular expression ksip try to find the package name
  that match with the pattern. Like kde*i486* )
With the buttons search and search next you make the search on the list.
When you click on a list item you show the package description on the bottom
and the package file list on the right.
On the left of the file description you have a panel with 4 buttons
- InstallPkg open the dialog that assists the package installation
- UpgradePkg open the dialog that assists the package upgrade
- RemovePkg remove the package selected in the list (be carefull)
- Refresh reload the package list. Use Refresh at each install/upgrade/remove
  operation
When you make an install/upgrade/remove operation a xterm is opened to ask
you the root password (if you are in user mode). When you insert the root
password the operation is performed and the control returns to ksip.
After these operations launch a Refresh to have the actual situation after the
modifications.
