@dcc >5 lines are all you need

Unless you are wanting to prod for updates and any dependencies. You DO realize that this also replaces all of your system, post install, and basically kind of impurifies the concept of slackware64.... now you have a mess from an (un)official repo. It seems so fragmented when using it. The fact is encourages installing 16gb of everything or "manually prodding through hundreds of tools" is also annoying. Not to mention how slackware groups its default packagebase. I still dont understand why slackware over gentoo or something even. Sure, slackware isnt really a distribution in a "literal" sense, but it hardly feels like a true bsd-like to me in the modern sense, especially when you suggested it to me... those systems have tight-knit communities and packages where as slackware just had 4 types of things scattered and "endorsed" by Pat. Messy.

Slackbuilds ... the repo? I see, but i meant the build system format. There is nothing special or unique about it that I know of.
