This is mainly a question for Fred, but I''ll email it to him
separately. But for anyone who is using the x86-64 port of Slackware..

Until Fred releases the next ISO image which will be based off
of Slackware 10.1, would it be safe to say that you could use the 10.0
ISO image he created to get the distro installed, then use swaret to
grab the sources, compiled those, and be up to date as the normal 10.0
or 10.1 tree? I don't see Pat supporting x86-64 anytime soon
(justfiably so), but I also don't think Fred will have the space or
bandwidth to keep the port current outside of ISO images.

so would grabbing the sources after a full install of the
x86-64 bit distro and compiling them give the same effect as using
swaret to grab the packages in the 32-bit world?
