no, not really.
Building patches for Slackintosh-12.1 is quite simple: I have a local up to
date mirror of needed Slackware tree, once an update is out I upload selected
Slackware sources to my build machine.
On the build machine, I slightly modify the SlackBuilds: since latest versions
it just means adding the PowerPC target to the script ARCH and SLKCFLAGS
selections and lowering the number of parallels builds as I do not have snmp
machines :-P
In some very rare occasion, you probably also have to take a look at shipped
patches and modify them in order to finish a build.
Once the package is ready, I run some quick tests to see if the main binaries
are still working then I write the entry inside the ChangeLog.txt, sign the new
packages and upload everything to workaraound.ch.
Keeping Slackintosh-current up requires the same exact steps above, in addition
you will have to track dependencies yourself so it will be a bumpy ride. LFS:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ is a great source of information if you
want to embark in this adventure.
