You could use something like sed to change the defaults for vars like<br>ARCH<br>TAG<br>OUTPUT<br>and maybe even some common vars like OPENGL (YES/NO?).<br>Using something like this, your tool will be much more powerful. You just need to be sure you
have strict rules for sed so you aren't, for instance, changing a noarch program into one for powerpc, etc.<br><br>I still think manually editing the scripts is important. The above feature just might save some time.<br><br>For the downloads: I recommend putting them all in one directory and just symlinking to the program archive from the slackBuild folder.<br><br>--phil<br><p>
