PKGsummon is a GTK+2.2-based utility designed for keeping up to date packages (.tgz) on a Linux Slackware system. Package names are gathered from an FTP server and grouped in a tree view with different symbols to allow quick version comparison.

This is the sixth stable version. This release
ensures correct behavior with GLib and GTK 2.4.0.
It also adds the "worldwide-requested" search box
for browsing installed packages. Furthermore, code
has been rewritten in many small files for future
planning.
This release was mainly intended for addressing a problem with FILE_LIST parsing, but it also comes with some additions like a new package icon for packages which have the same version/architecture but different build number. There's also a ready-to-go list of Slackware mirrors and a keep-connection-alive function, both available in preferences.
This is the fifth stable version. It is now possible to review installed packages and read the size, description, and a list of files installed for each package. There's also a new package icon for packages available on FTP which have the same version of those installed on the system, but a different arch/build.
This is the fourth stable version. Support for an "extra" package set
has been added, and there's a new option for retrieving package names by
using the FILE_LIST file available on FTP servers.
