Read what Pat has to say here.[1] He offers a couple of choices for GNOME users and a comment on Dropline. Another choice is to use Pkgsrc with Slackware. pkgsrc is a portable package building system for Linux, NetBSD, Darwin, Mac OS X, Irix, SunOS/Solaris, AIX, HPUX, BSD/OS, DragonFly, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, OSF1, UnixWare, Interix and other operating systems for managing over 5000 software suites. It provides: 1) a categorized collection of specifications that help automate fetching source, verifying checksums, patching, configuring, building, installing and packaging software suites; 2) package installation and maintenance tools (like pkg_add, pkg_info, pkg_delete and others).
