<p>I think its a valid proposal. The end-user will know immediately
he is going to get something not build from source. A template
could be a good idea, but I wouldn't enforce its application too
strongly, maybe present it as a suggestion?</p>
<p>If adopting this, <b>when</b> would it be done? Isn't there a
risk that unaware users stay with old packages, without any
update? So if changing, I would say it better do it when -current
is released and all scripts are revisited.</p>
<p><joking> If we're going the Aur way why not "-git" too?

<pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre">Dear SlackBuilds community,
Increasingly, we have to write more and more binary repacks,
as software is becoming harder and harder to build on the premises.
While this is an unfortunate development, and the community members
are encouraged to build software from the original sources to ensure
transparency and flexibility, sometimes building a package as a
repack is an unnecessary evil.
This message has (attached) a proposed binary-repacking SlackBuild,
which I would like to propose for an inclusion into the templates
repository.
Please comment and suggest how this template can be improved.
