I spent a _lot_ of time and effort on downloading slackbuilds from slackbuilds.org. All in all for one reason or the other I could not download the entire thing. I was using slackbuilds.txt to make sure that I downloaded all the packages but then I missed a couple of libraries and that had me irritated for a long time. There was a torrent download available but then it was sponsored and so I did not use it.
I do not know if I am asking too much but can _all_ the slackbuilds be bundled together in one big folder like 13.37 along with the sourcecode so that we can download the entire thing and then use it.
Thanks for reading this suggestion.

I've moved this to the Slackware forum, as it's in no way related to LQ itself.

This link should help you.

Scroll past the Arch section to "3. SlackBuilds"

Why not try sbopkg?
http://www.sbopkg.org/

I haven't tried sbo. What do you think about it as opposed to slackbuilds?

It is for processing SlackBuilds (from slackbuilds.org), and you can get/write and use queuefiles that make processing builds with multiple dependencies easy.Check it out.

I'm playing around with it right now.... it's very nice.

It's good that I learned how to manage slackbuilds without it, but this is pretty damned handy. After you know what you're doing, the slackbuild process can become pretty tedious.

Whilst playing with sbopkg, you may want to look into the queuefiles (it's almost like having a p***c**g* manager) <ducks>

edit: had I taken the time to read ALL of bL's previous post, I would have avoided the redundancy....<would slink away, but is already a duck>

cheers,

thanks all I will try the sbo and se how i works out....

You want to mirror SBo's entire archive?

It's easy.

Just look at the page for any SlackBuild there and scroll to the bottom. You get the ftp, git, cgit and rsync links for the whole repository. Use any of them.

If you want to download the source tarballs too, then the only solution I know of is sbopkg. I don't think that there is a script that crawls the directory tree and then wgets links in the .info files.

You can use rsync too:
ie:
to save to cwd.

Or via git

I didn't see Dugan's response above. Well, now you also have the practical example.
