[Slackbuilds-users] issue submitting new slackbuild

[Ιωάννης]

Please install
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/system/sbo-maintainer-tools
then cmd: *sbolint* elilong.tar.gz
if this print errors then you know what is wrong.
If it says all good then it might be a submission form issue.

NOTE: you can also cmd: *sbopkglin*t /tmp/elilong-xxxx_sbo.tgz
and see if its ok!
These tools save a lot of time in real life!
