Some tips or advices for install pacman in slackware?

If you install pacman in slackware you'll have no packages. You'll have to make them all. You may use many of Arch PKGBUILDS. If you use arch sources then you'll have slackware converted into Archlinux.

i installed pacman in slackware.. i ended up having half arch half slackware and let me tell you they dont work well together when you installed arch packages on a slackware distro.

i had Arch console said Wombat and everything but it wasn't linked to a passwd file or something because i couldnt login at all.

Maybe what you are looking for is this. (Pacman based, Slackware packages)

I'm a Slacker and an Archer, and I really dont see the point in trying to install pacman on Slackware.

If you want a dependency checking, bleeding-edge, simple distro, then use Arch.

If you want rock stable, robust, simple distro, use Slackware.

If you want another package management for Slack, try slackpkg, swaret, slapt-get, slackcurrent, slackupdate.

But of course, if you want to build your own distro, I suggest you wait till pacman is librarized. Or simply make your own packages.

But to my opinion, you would be reinventing the wheel.

Arch Linux
