Small tool to skip downloading both packages and their respective patches. Useful for those with frequent new installs, esp multiple machines.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Generate an rsync filter containing any original package that has
# a corresponding patch package. Avoid double download penality
# for installations with patches.
#
# After normal installation and before reboot: 'installpkg patches/packages/*.txz'
# rather than 'upgradepkg'
# tested on: slackware64, slackwarearm-15.0. -current is ALL patches ;)
