why is it *better* ?


these references help understand:

(from sbotools pages)

REPO=(FALSE|url)

     If set to a url, use that repository instead of the SlackBuilds.org 
repository for your SLACKWARE_VERSION. Setting this will make the 
SLACKWARE_VERSION setting redundant. URLs need to either lead to a git 
repository or an rsync repository. The repository needs to be laid out 
like the SlackBuilds.org one with a couple of broad categories at the root 
and under those are subdirectories for each package.




then there is this at the bottom of the address i earlier supplied 
(https://gitlab.com/SlackBuilds.org/slackbuilds.git):

See https://slackbuilds.org/howto/ for instructions on
how to use the contents of this directory.

Access is also available via:
  rsync://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds
  https://git.slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/
  ftp://slackbuilds.org/
  git://git.slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds.git
  https://gitlab.com/SlackBuilds.org/slackbuilds
  https://github.com/SlackBuildsOrg/slackbuilds
