[Slackbuilds-users] ceph package git question

Interesting. And really hacky. I feel like it goes against the principles of Slackware. Also, if the logic is complex enough, which seems to be the case for dart-sdk with several moving parts all of which rely on git, you might end up just reimplementing a rudimentary git. And maintainability is a potential nightmare. I'm not sure I have the skills to write something that wouldn't rely on manual hardcoding of the required values.

And what about verifyability? Some random tarball with sources and even blobs (blame Google) from who knows where with no way of verifying its authenticity aside for the random maintainer's word. It's not like various mkvendor and create-tarball scripts work in a reproducible way.
