Any slackware fans here?
Are there any slackware fans here?
Do you know what's the status of www.linuxpackages.net ?
I am providing a mirror for them, but it seems to have been dead for a very long time - doesn't resolve. I am wondering if i should just delete the mirror and forget about it, or is there any chance that the linuxpackages.net website would be resurrected one day.

I am one in fact
I'm not sure what happened to www.linuxpackages.net but yeah, we are lack of human resources compared to other distros
Looks like their nameservers are not functioning properly. One is not reachable at all and the second rejects queries.
@neroux yeah, and it has been like this for months.
@rds100
Do you have a contact there you could ask? If not you could try the att.net address in the whois.
@neroux i emailed someone @slackware.com (since i also have an official slackware mirror), maybe they will know what's going on. We'll see.
Please post the progress, mate.
