[Slackbuilds-users] [Slackware-current] sbopkg problems

[David Chmelik]

So did someone on GitHub and found a workaround but didn't work for 
me... so question is does SlackBuilds.org (SBo) allow such 
weirdly-formed package names (or more) that trip sbopkg and if not is 
policy only maybe 99% implemented?  SBo has 
standards-/specifications-checking tools which (if missed in 
submissions) should check package names...
         Since at least early 2022 I want to learn/setup 
chroot/overlayfs to design/build packages in but found no specific 
instructions... virtual machines (VM) & non-UNIX & automatic containers 
(other than perhaps one modification of chroot) are overkill and defeat 
purpose for me.
