History
The program was created by Luc Cottyn, and was originally called "autopkg". However, because of a conflict with another project of the same name it was renamed to swaret. Luc was unable to continue working on the project due to a conflict with Patrick Volkerding, Slackware's developer[citation needed]. It is currently being maintained by Michael Manry.

Swaret currently runs on STUX.
