more than 11 line slack-desc file
by slac-in-the-box from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5QCQG)
A script I made to automate slack-desc file in little slackare packages I build for myself to install and remove little binaries that do this and that... was appending the slack-desc instead of overwriting/superseding it...
on the second trial run, I forgot to remove the first slack-desc, so the second run's slack-desc got appended to the first, creating a 22 liner.
When I installed the resultant package, I had a 20 line slackware description. Whenever I messed up slack-desc files before, it was usually just a blank description, but the package would install fine...
But I found this interesting, because it created a longer description.
