Using sbopkg to move from 14.0 to 14.1

So, would you welcome a tool that takes your list of SBo packages, figures out all the deps, builds them all without intervention, puts them in a repo for use with slackpkg+, keeps them up to date with SBo on a rolling basis, rebuilds them when you upgrade Slackware, and does the same for mate too?

Umm. I also gave instructions and AFAIK, they answered your question and would have worked.

Too much typing, and error prone (risk of making a typo while copying the commands)

On a more serious tone, I often appreciate your answers that help me enhance my shell scripting ability, so thanks

I strongly suspect your shell scripting ability surpasses my own given, I have not attempted to do anything remotely as complex as you have with slint. Nonetheless, thanks for the kind feedback!

Yes, you did, but what Didier said.

Frankly I am not understanding sbopkg at all. I will start another thread.
