How about just finding the source and compiling that ?

You can use deb2tgz to convert the debian package to a slackware package.

the source could be ok for me, but i can't find it either

Are you referring to workrave? It's not very widely spread yet. There are packages for debian and mandrake, as far as I know. The source should be available from sourceforge.

I've always had a very hard time compiling it, since it uses bleeding edge libraries (debian-unstable), which somehow never are included in my distribution. But the authors are very responsive, and you are welcome to contribute a package :-)

Groetjes,

the only thing i was able to find (on freshmaet) is gleave that seems to be a clone of berkleys leave. i'll try it and i'll get back to you.

i've installed gleave. it works fine and the usage is almost the same of leave (i've tied it in a fedora installation).
it's great if you don't want to be late. ;-)
