Jim over at linuxpackages.net already setup a repository for source packages, found here
http://www2.linuxpackages.net/packages/SlackBuilds/

It uses the existing framework but has "-src" packages which contain the source and the build
script within the tgz.  He even generated the required files to support this as a slapt-get
package source.  Check it out.


take care,
jason
