The following is a script that will mirror all the 8.1,9.0, and 9.1 slapt-get packages.

### begin script
#!/bin/sh
BASE_URL=http://software.jaos.org/slackpacks/
                                                                                              
                              
function get_by_version {
  VER=$1
                                                                                              
                              
  if [ ! -d ${VER} ]; then
    mkdir ${VER}
  fi
                                                                                              
                              
  cd ${VER}
  for PKG in `lynx -source ${BASE_URL}${VER}/PACKAGES.TXT|grep tgz|awk '{print $3}'`
  do
    echo wget ${BASE_URL}${VER}/${PKG}
  done
                                                                                              
                              
  cd ..
}
                                                                                              
                              
get_by_version 8.1
get_by_version 9.0
get_by_version 9.1
