Hello, I am happy to see a texlive slackbuild but is it setting
also for Slackware 12.1 ?
I hesitate on this:

/sbin/makepkg -p -l y -c n
$OUTPUT/texlive-$VERSION-$ARCH-$BUILD$TAG.${PKGTYPE:-tgz}

especially about ${PKGTYPE:-tgz},
is my makepkg version recognize this ?

This is just a shell variable expansion that has a default. You shouldn't need to worry about that not working.

I have read this variable too quickly and without thinking
about. ! Sorry

I find it easier to just use the download script for TeXLive 2009 at
the tug.org site. Don't forget to modify
/etc/profile so that /usr/local/texlive/2009/bin
is on the search path.

IMO a Slackbuild is a nicety but not a necessity for installing
TeXLive. Been using TeX on Slackware since 1996.
