+DOSbox is a DOS emulator/virtual machine for X11 and Unix.
+It allows you to play many of the old games you grew up loving,
+as well as many apps designed to run on DOS.
+
+SDL_sound is an optional dependency.
+
+This is the latest-or-almost development version, hence it is not labeled
+stable by upstream.
+dosbox-dev does conflict with the stable dosbox 0.74 Slackbuild, and isn't
+meant to be used alongside.
+If you want to have both dosbox and dosbox-dev packages installed set
+DOSBOXDEV=yes, and man page, icon, desktop entry and dosbox binary will be
+renamed dosbox-dev.
+
+If you want to use another revision of the SVN codebase,
+get it and put it in a directory called dosbox-dev, then create a
+dosbox-dev-0.74.rXXXX.tar.xz archive.
+After that you can do REVISION=XXXX ./dosbox-dev.SlackBuild
+There'll be some available at :
+https://sourceforge.net/projects/slackbuildsdirectlinks/files/dosbox/
+
+For example for the latest available revision :
+# svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/dosbox/code-0/dosbox/trunk dosbox-dev
+# REVISION=$(cd dosbox-dev && LANG=C svn info | grep "Revision"| cut -d' ' -f2)
+# tar cfa dosbox-dev-0.74.r$REVISION.tar.xz dosbox-dev/
+# ./dosbox-dev.SlackBuild
