And that's it! It will generate a .t?z package of slackware on '/tmp' directory to you run 'installpkg' permitting you to run the binary/script installed. Easy and cool way to find your packages quickly and compile them with your architecture optimized.

# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.
