You should never expect that the SlackBuilds haven't changed just because
the source tarballs haven't. You should always grab the latest as they
might include changes, fixes, or patches. If the update is substantial, the
maintainer is supposed to update the BUILD variable of the SlackBuild.

If you're going to build packages manually, it would probably be good to
keep a local git repo of SBo and update that before running SlackBuilds.

You can create the repo by running:

git clone git://git.slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds.git sbo-repo

Then you can update it by going in the directory and running:

git pull
