True, but often Slackware packages from slackbuilds can be upgraded straight with no
dependecies, such as MESA in my case, having  a nice boost from 11.x to 13.0.6.
I guess HPLIP was written in Python right? Then upgrading it from a package sources
would be just a little chore, such as setting the VERSION envvar right.
Anyway, AlienBob has upgraded packages for a lot of software just in case.
