-It is acknowledged that there are more complete and distinguished Slackware repository solutions readily available. Such as, alienBOB's [[http://slackware.uk/people/alien/tools/|gen_repos_files.sh]] and [[http://http://slackware.uk/people/alien/tools/|mirror-slackware-current.sh]] scripts, and Dave Spencer's [[http://https://idlemoor.github.io/slackrepo/|slackrepo]]. These are renowned, highly automated, tools for managing Slackware package repositories and  mirrors. The script featured here does not attempt to supplant or undermine these (or other) contemporary efforts, by //re-inventing the wheel//, so to speak. It's just a much less sophisticated method of achieving the same results, and very much **Slackware ARM specific**. +The script featured here, 'local-slackwarearm-repo.sh' [nickname: 'SAREPO'] does not attempt to supplant or undermine the above (or other) contemporary efforts, by //re-inventing the wheel//, so to speak. It's just a much less sophisticated method of achieving the same results, and very much **Slackware ARM specific**. 
  
 When I was looking into creating a local Slackware ARM mirror, most of the currently available scripts and software to perform this task was just way too advanced and extensive for my needs with regards to Slackware "//repodemia//". Something much more basic and bespoke was preferable, and that's the main reason why this script was created. When I was looking into creating a local Slackware ARM mirror, most of the currently available scripts and software to perform this task was just way too advanced and extensive for my needs with regards to Slackware "//repodemia//".
