But you could clone this repo (if it is this one that you want) to e.g. /var/lib/slackbuilds, keep it in sync through git and include this line in /etc/slapt-get/slapt-srcrc:
Code:
SOURCE=file:///var/lib/slackbuilds/
You still will have to do a "slapt-src -u" whenever you sync your local repo.
Of course you can use sourcery as well if you want a GUI.
And don't include a SOURCE line for a "regular" SBo repo for 14.2 in /etc/slapt-get/slapt-srcrc (at least I don't know which version will be picked in this case).
PS: I tried, go a 404 error...
However it works when I make a local repo with rsync from http://slackware.uk/salix/sbo/14.2/. I am puzzled. Maybe I miss metadata? At least SLACKBUILDS.TXT would be my guess.
