> As root you can:

> 1) Synchronize a local repository with SBo's one:
> 
>     # sbo_sync
>     sbo_sync: rsync:://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/13.37 =>
> /usr/ports/13.37 receiving incremental file list
>     ...
>     total size is 24.31M  speedup is 58.28
>     sbo_sync: done
> 
> 
> 2) Find a package that you are interesting, let's say cmus:
>     # sbo_find cmus
>     /usr/ports/13.37/audio/cmus
> 
> 3) Build cmus:
>     # sbo_pkg /usr/ports/13.37/audio/cmus
>     sbo_pkg: Changing working directory /usr/ports/13.37/audio/cmus
>     ...
>     sbo_pkg: Downloading
> http://downloads.sourceforge.net/cmus/cmus-v2.4.3.tar.bz2
>     ....
>     sbo_pkg: Checking MD5 message digest
>     cmus-v2.4.3.tar.bz2: OK
>     sbo_pkg: Executing cmus.SlackBuild
>     ...
>     Slackware package /tmp/cmus-v2.4.3-i686-1_hba.txz created.
> 
>     sbo_pkg: done
> 
> 4) Install the package, as normal:
>     # installpkg /tmp/cmus-v2.4.3-i686-1_hba.txz


Thanks, Antonio, I'm really enjoying this so far. As others have mentioned 
already, sbopkg exists and I myself do use it often and I love it, but 
sbo_tools is slick! Lightweight and simple, with "simple" enough code for me 
to be able to make little changes.  Thanks!
