+CACHEUPDATE Option
+
+By default 'slackpkg update' download all metadata files (CHECKSUMS.md5, PACKAGES.TXT,
+MANIFEST.bz2). When you use many and or large repositories, this may take a lot of
+time and in most cases there are no news or news just in only one repository.
+
+Enabling CACHEUPDATE slackpkg+ put a cache of metadatas in /var/lib/slackpkg/cache,
+so everytime it just must to verify if there is a new version, otherwise it can use
+the cached file.
+
+Note that it works only with http repositories and does not work with proxies.
+It uses 'curl' to download file headers to check if there is a new version of
+the file.
+
+Set CACHEUPDATE=on to enable it. Default is 'off'
