Slackpkg plus plus

A couple things here would be nice.

• slackpkg shouldn't require a mirror list file! thats just silly. Get the mirror list from ftp.slackware.org and save it away for later use or something. Even re-get it each time! Use some sort of ping algorithm to find a close one and go with it.

• slackpkg should allow better refinement in searching. Do I want to find any package with a given file in it, any package of a given name, or any package with some text in the description?

• need some automatic way to get slackbuilds.org package data, build it, and install it, all automatically. also would need a way to uninstall, of course.

• the autobuilder should also be able to get the slackbuild for the official slackware packages and build and install those. It should also be able to get the prebuilt one if you don't want to mess with stuff.

• the autobuilder should have a way to download the stuff and unzip it somewhere, pause while you make some modifications or something, and then commence with the build and install

• the autobuilder, when searching for a package to install, should tell you version was part of the original release, which version you have, and which versions are available, and where-from. If it could also go to the distrowatch stuff to determine what the absolute latest stable and bleeding edge is, so you could see that too, that'd be great.

• Should have a good way to watch changelogs of the actual release you are following, and the changelogs of the slackbuilds stuff, but only as relevent to the packages you currently have installed. That way you could know when something has changed and what it changed for, without having to wade through crap you don't care about.
