But these are packages. slapt-src deals with SlackBuilds. And since there are indeed packages available in our binary repos, the info for the respective SlackBuilds has been removed from the SLACKBUILDS.TXT file that slapt-src reads. This is to remove confusion in case users find a different version of the same software with slapt-get and slapt-src.
Indeed, I saw the packages, but I'd like to install the newer versions available as Slackbuilds.
I've been manually downloading and installing the Slackbuilds, but the process is cumbersome, specially when it comes to long dependency chains.
Is there a simple way to have slapt-src installing from the source despite the existing a package ? Even without dependency handling, it'd very handy to have the download/extract/chmod/build/install process in automated way.
