Thanks.
P.S. I'm not a member of the list.

It's really quite simple Darrell:
We are a site that hosts SlackBuild scripts, not packages. It is
not about supporting any particular package format. If you want to
use the old .tgz packages, then by all means edit the last line of
the script and change the extension of the package which is going
to be created. These scripts are not set in concrete.
When we start adding scripts for Slackware 13.0 in our repository,
you can expect that they will (or should) support *all* of
Slackware 13.0's features - which includes the new package
formats. When we sign off a script after our internal QA round we
will have tested it on a full install of Slackware.
Regards, Eric
The problem becomes more clear when we know SBo only host scripts but
not packages and people can edit them when they feel disappointed. My
suggestion is add a FMT variable like this:
FMT=${FMT:-tgz}
...
/sbin/makepkg -l y -c n $OUTPUT/$PRGNAM-$VERSION-$ARCH-$BUILD$TAG.$FMT
So users don't need to modify the script to change the compression
algorithm.(As local modifications will lost after every rsync...)

sed -i 's/.tgz/.txz/' foo.SlackBuild && ./foo.SlackBuild
That works for me.
I say stay with .tgz for now.
