[Slackbuilds-users] best way to mass-rebuild? (w/dependencies?)

[Daniel Prosser]

There's no reliable way to compare versions, since different projects 
use completely different version numbering paradigms, and even a single 
project may switch paradigms. Imagine trying to compare version "3.0" of 
something with version "git1e8fr49cx". Which one is the later version? 
As you said, the best way is to use a different tag for custom-built 
stuff. Another option with sboui in particular is to blacklist 
custom-built packages.
