but I hadn't took it that way :D I just thought it would be another nice occasion to say that my personal repository is completely unsupported (it's never enough). > search results.

Matteo P.S. to clarify a little my previous statement regarding debian tarballs that include the patches and that they store in their /pool/ directories I really had to fix their download links many times in the past. taking as an example netcat-openbsd, its debian tarball now links to http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/n/netcat-openbsd/netcat-openbsd_1.105-7.debian.tar.gz: if we link that and they increment their version for whatever reason (from 7 to 8) the download is broken. _______________________________________________ SlackBuilds-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - http://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - http://slackbuilds.org/faq/
