I know that in theory it might work putting those lines in the .info – at least with SBoPkg – but the admins of SlackBuilds.org would not approve the submission.
And that I can assure you, because I’m one of them

It works, because libreoffice.info is sourced into SBoPkg, so any command you have in the info file *is* executed - i.e. all the variable assigments, the wget command, the "if then fi" statement and the redefinition af the variable DOWNLOAD as shown in the above example. I don't like reading README files :-) and I always use SboPkg if what I need is available, it's really a nice programme together with all the buildscripts Morten Hi Niels,You didn’t try

And they would need to create an exception in their program just for LibreOffice. I don't know if most people use SBoPkg or downlaod sources manually. That's why I decided to put the text in README about the "old" directory, hoping that people actually <strong>read</strong> the README :) Niels Hi Morten,But that would have to be built into the program that does the downloading of the sources – SBoPkg.
