I didnt know about it..<br>
I just tried sbopkg --help, but it said that it must be run as root.<br>
<br>
So I guess I will be using slacker for searching and managing
(simple) sort of packages;<br>
as it doesnt require root privileges for searching or viewing
information about the packages;<br>
and for building/installation/upgrade/removal sudo is used.<br>

guys,<br>
<br>
When I had to search for a package in the SlackBuilds, I
went to <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://slackbuilds.org" target="_blank">slackbuilds.org</a>
and searched for it; however I have a local (git) copy of
slackbuilds which I wanted to search, but didnt like using
the file manager to look into each folder..<br>
<br>
So yesterday I started writing a script to search my
repository for a specified package, and then added some more
options like viewing the info file of the package, viewing
the readme, the slackbuild, etc..<br>
<br>
Then today I added more options like downloading the
package, build it, install/upgrade/remove, and querying
installed packages.<br>
(More info about its features/usage in the readme.)<br>
<br>
So its become a kind of a package manager now. I named it as
slacker for want of a better name.<br>
<br>
You can look at the source here:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/aadityabagga/slacker"
target="_blank">https://github.com/aadityabagga/slacker</a><br>
<br>
Tarball available for download also:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://download.sourceforge.net/mefiles/slacker-0.1.tar.gz"

<br>
(One bug I had discovered, is that suppose you search all
packages beginning with s,<br>
slacker --search s*<br>
It wouldnt display anything (perhaps due to bash
substitution), but<br>
slacker --search "s*"<br>
seems to display them.)<br>
<br>
P.S. I do know about and use sbopkg, but I wanted a
commandline tool for (quickly) searching the packages. :)<br>
