[Slackbuilds-users] Bugs in 12.2 repository

[Antonio Hernández Blas]

Hi, i have found some bugs in info and slackbuild files, here you can
see the bugs:
http://pastebin.slackadelic.com/6717

In some of them there isn't APPROVED value, others have some value for
VERSION in its info file and other value[1] for VERSION in its
SlackBuild file, in others their PRGNAM value does not match in both
files, others dont make use of PRGNAM in its slackbuild file[2] and
things like that.

[1] Some of these aren't bugs cause its the way how they were done, for example:
/usr/ports/audio/pd
    VERSION value in info file is: '0.40.3'
        But VERSION value in SlackBuild file is: '$(echo $SRC_VERSION | tr - .)'
VERSION value is get it from $SRC_VERSION, this is not wrong but as
you can see in the list some other slackbuilds have in their info file
a value that does not match with the one in its slackbuild file, so
with 'audio/pd' you can't be totally secure if its info file is
correct.

[2] This is not a requirement from SBo, but IMHO there should be
"integrity" in SlackBuilds and info files, so as an example:
/usr/ports/graphics/opengtl
    PRGNAM value in opengtl.info is: 'opengtl'
        But PRGNAM value in opengtl.SlackBuild is : 'OpenGTL'
In this case you can make use of something like this:
-PRGNAM=OpenGTL
+PRGNAM=opengtl
+SRCNAM=OpenGTL

-PKGNAM=$(echo $PRGNAM | tr [:upper:] [:lower:])

-tar xvf $CWD/$PRGNAM-$VERSION.tar.bz2
+tar xvf $CWD/$SRGNAM-$VERSION.tar.bz2
+mv $SRCNAM-$VERSION $PRGNAM-$VERSION

-mkdir -p $PKG/usr/doc/$PKGNAM-$VERSION
-cp -a COPYING TODO $PKG/usr/doc/$PKGNAM-$VERSION
-cat $CWD/$PKGNAM.SlackBuild > $PKG/usr/doc/$PKGNAM-$VERSION/$PKGNAM.SlackBuild
+mkdir -p $PKG/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION
+cp -a COPYING TODO $PKG/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION
+cat $CWD/$PRGNAM.SlackBuild > $PKG/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION/$PRGNAM.SlackBuild

-/sbin/makepkg -l y -c n $OUTPUT/$PKGNAM-$VERSION-$ARCH-$BUILD$TAG.tgz
+/sbin/makepkg -l y -c n $OUTPUT/$PRGNAM-$VERSION-$ARCH-$BUILD$TAG.tgz

Well, im sure you can get the idea ;-)

Sorry if this annoys you but as i can't "spam" to the next MAINTEINERs
i hope you can contact them and ask them to submit an update(once SBo
reopen its upload form) to correct this bugs.

BTW, like 5 months ago i sent to rwokman a list like that, he fixed
some of them but as i was more busy with my school i didn't pay
attention to all them, until now.

Cheers.
