[Slackbuilds-users] Introducing the SlackBuild Boneyard

I think this is ready for public consumption now...

I've created an archive of all the SlackBuilds that have been removed
from SBo since the start of Slackware 15.0:

https://slackware.uk/~urchlay/boneyard/

The files there are regular SlackBuild tarballs, like the ones on the
SBo website. Anything that got deleted will end up there, so it won't
be buried in the git log where it's hard to find out it ever existed.

It will be updated weekly, probably on Saturdays (after the regular
weekly SBo update). Anything that was deleted from the repo but got
reinstated (as a new submission) will disappear from the boneyard.

If you find something there that you think really shouldn't have been
deleted, feel free to submit it as your own new build (giving credit
to the original author).

The text of the page already says this, but I'll repeat it here:

   Note that this is purely a personal project of B. Watson
   <urchlay at slackware.uk>. It is NOT part of the SlackBuilds.org project
   or website.

That doesn't mean you can't talk about it at all on this mailing
list, but it does mean longer conversations belong in private emails,
not the list. Anyway, there's not that much to say about it.
