[sbopkg-discuss] Re: Sbopkg 0.0.9 released

[samac]

Hi Chess and Robby

Using sbopkg has made working with SlackBuild.com so easy that it has
made building from source a pleasure rather than the usual grind.

Chess:
I have a quad processor machine, and am looking for an easy way to use
them all for compiling. Rather than have to modify each SlackBuild
script, I was wondering if sbopkg could tell the slackbuild script to
use "make -j5" rather than "make", or is this something that the user
would have to set up locally.

Robby:
I know that all the slackbuilds are checked before they are allowed on
SlackBuilds.com, but is there any mileage in creating an "unsafe" area
which would be a repository for all other slackbuilds which are out
there. This, when working with sbopkg, would give a vast increase in
the number of packages available to Slackware users, thus removing one
of the complaints that non slackers have about there not being any
packages for Slackware.
