It was there, and I had begrudgingly taken over maintenance of it, even
though I don't use it, but you can have it :-)

No - the change should be as intended (and the script looks much better
now, too).

Subject: [Slackbuilds-users] Sbopkg 0.20.0 Released
Message-ID: <20090101205319.GA22328@localhost>

Happy New Year!

A new version 0.20.0 of sbopkg has been released with /lots/ of
updates, new features, and bug fixes -- hence the version jump.  :-)
Ordinarily, there about 10-15 SVN commits between releases.  This time
there were close to 50.  I think this is an update that most sbopkg
users will want to have.

I had lots of great user feedback, patches, and suggestions, which I
greatly appreciate.  I would especially like to thank Erik Hanson and
Mauro Giachero for their patches, testing, and suggestions.

NOTE:  There are three changes to the sbopkg.conf file that will be
required before this new version will run, which are discussed below.

Here are some of the new features and bug fixes in this latest release
of sbopkg.

New features:

* There is a new -i command line switch which allows the user to build
  and install packages in a manner similar to the current -b switch
  for building only.  As with the -b switch, the user can build and
  install more than one package by listing them in quotes.  And, by
  carefully listing dependencies in the right order, it might be
  possible to build and install dependencies and the final, target
  package in one go, like this:

  # sbopkg -i "imlib2 giblib feh"

  In this case, imlib2 must be built and installed before giblib, both
  of which need to be built and installed before feh.  Given the
  nature of building dependencies, this may not always work, but it
  still may be helpful and useful in many cases.

* Coupled with the new -i switch, there is a new 'build queue' in the
  dialog interface.  The user can add packages to the queue and then,
  when ready, can process the queue in the order the packages are
  listed.  The user can choose to build only or build and install the
  packages in the queue.  Again, by listing dependencies in the right
  order, it may be possible to build dependencies and the final,
  target package in one go like the feh example above.

* After checking for updates, the user is offered the opportunity to
  add those flagged updates to the build queue automatically.

* When building packages individually outside of the build queue, the
  user is offered the opportunity to build or build and install the
  package.

* There is a new -u command line switch, and a corresponding new
  dialog menu selection, that allows the user to check if there is an
  update to sbopkg itself.

* A new $DEBUG variable is introduced to the sbopkg.conf file that
  allow for easier debugging and update list bug reporting.  See the
  sbopkg.conf man page for more detail.

Bug Fixes:

* Fix issues with the "Installed:/Not Installed" text at the top of
  info item menu screen.  Thanks to Erik Hanson and Mauro Giachero for
  assistance with this issue.

* Improve the wording and button labeling of several dialogs; thanks
  to Erik Hanson for a patch to implement several of these
  improvements and thanks to The-Croupier for suggestions on another.

* Clean up the customization menu.

* Fix issue with typhoon_2001 not building correctly; thanks to
  cotterochan for the bug report.

* Fix django download issue due to their weird tarball naming scheme;
  thanks to David Somero for the bug report.

* Fix mplayer update issue; thanks to all the folks that reported this
  one.  Clearly, mlayer is a popular app.  :-)

* Fix acroread update issue; thanks to Erik Hanson for the bug report.

* Fix build queue failure issue found in 0.20.0rc1 due to not
  recovering from control-c cleanly; thanks to Mauro Giachero for the
  bug report.

* Fix issue found in 0.20.0rc1 where packages could be added to queue
  more than once which caused some funky behavior; thanks to Mauro
  Giachero for the bug report.

* Fix issue found in 0.20.0rc1 where customized SlackBuilds were not
  being used in the build process; thanks to Mauro Giachero for the
  bug report.

* Fix issue foundi n 0.20.0rc1 where the queue processing would
  even after removing all packages from the queue; thanks to Mauro
  Giachero for the bug report.

Changes to sbopkg.conf:

As a result of some of these new features, users are advised of three
changes to the sbopkg.conf file.  Users can either manually update
their existing sbopkg.conf file or use the sbopkg.conf.new file that
is installed when you upgrade sbopkg.

sbopkg.conf change 1:  $OUTPUT is now required.  This was commented
out in prior versions of sbopkg.conf.  The default setting of $OUTPUT
is:

export OUTPUT=${OUTPUT:-/tmp}

this is the same default setting in SBo SlackBuild scripts themselves.

sbopkg.conf change 2:  $TERMBUILD is deprecated.  All building and
installing switches now out of dialog and occurs in a terminal in all
cases.  Having the build take place inside the dialog interface caused
some issues and made it difficult to implement some of the new
features.  So, it went.  As a result, you can delete $TERMBUILD from
your sbopkg.conf file.

sbopkg.conf change 3:  As mentioned above, $DEBUG is a new required
variable in the sbopkg.conf file.  The default setting is DEBUG=0.

As always, a sbopkg.conf.new file is installed when upgrading which
has these changes in place.  Please review this sbopkg.conf.new file
and manually merge it with your current sbopkg.conf.

Please report any bugs to me via email, the sbopkg mailing list, or,
using the Issue Tracker on the project's Google Code website.  I can
also be found in #sbopkg, #slackbuilds, and ##slackware on
irc.freenode.net.

A noarch package and source tarball for version 0.20.0 can be found at
the sbopkg project website:

http://www.sbopkg.org

Thanks again to all the folks who sent me bug reports, patches,
suggestions, and notes of successes or failures.  I want this utility
to be useful to the Slackware and SlackBuilds.org community so please
keep that feedback coming.

Enjoy!

Nice tool Chess, this is the first time I have tried it out.

I think that there may be a bug or a problem with the ksmoothdock pkg
in the repo when using the update tool. I by no means am any sort of
guru.......

I ran the update tool once and updated my vobcopy and ksmoothdock.
After building them and installing those two pkgs, I ran the update
tool again for the hell of it.

It once again listed that there was a potential update for
ksmoothdock, here is the message I was presented with:
----------------------
ksmoothdock:
POTENTIAL UPDATE
Installed version:  ksmoothdock-4.5-i486-1
Repo Version:  ksmoothdock-4.5_${VERSION-i486-1

Potential update list complete.
----------------------

Thanks for the tool, I will play with it some more.

Happy New Years to all!!

Thanks, Wade, I'll look into fixing this.  Sometimes there are funky
issues with specific packages in the repo and this might be one of
them.

Cheers!

Wade, I just committed a fix to SVN.  It will be the next update.

Congrats for such a nice tool. I have started using it with 0.15
release and it is great. I have almost gave up with
slackbuilds.net website cause of your tool ;-)

Keep up the good work !

I set this page up to test out using Trac backed by a git repo. [0]

I used my personal slackbuilds git repo so I figured i'd post the link here.

It's defn. not meant to be a full on public site, but feel free to 
checkout the slackbuilds.  I'm too lazy to submite them all to SBo, or 
there might be peculiarities to the package that I havn't flushed out 
enuf.  (for ex. some of them use unversioned svn code.)

If anyone wants a particular slackbuild submitted to SBo, feel free to 
bug me to do it.

Found a copy of it here:

At times when I cannot find the source from the link provided @
SalckBuilds, I Google for some mirrors.

Thank you.

Download link seems to have a "connection timeout" issue, indeed.
BTW an alternative address ( 
http://prdownload.berlios.de/unpaper/unpaper-0.3.tar.gz
) gives the same issue.

It's a Berlios.de's general problem, though (it doesn't apply to unpaper 
only).

Thank you, Wade.
An alternative download link can be found on a debian mirror, e.g.
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/u/unpaper/unpaper_0.3.orig.tar.gz
Then you will have to rename 'unpaper_0.3.orig.tar.gz' to 
'unpaper-0.3.tar.gz'

Hi,

I have several slackbuilds I am currently maintaining for my own
need. I'd like to know how I can contribute them to the
slackbuilds.org website so that someone with more time than I
have could adopt them.

Additionnaly, what is the policy of SBo for the usage of the
fakeroot program when constructing a package ?

Hi Xavier

Essentially, maintaining a SlackBuild at http://slackbuilds.org (or a
series of them) should not take much time once it has been accepted
into the repository. It would be nice if you update a SlackBuild
script if the software it builds releases a new version but that is
not a requirement. Sometimes as maintainer you will get emails from
other users with patches and enhancements, and if these are valid it
would be appreciated if you added those in an update.

The only times that we (the admins) are really weeding old stuff out
is when Slackware releases a new version - maintainers who do not test
their submissions for the new release may see their entries absent
from the new repository. Note that old entries remain in the
repository for the previous versions of Slackware! We never _delete_
entries after we accepted them.

Now, if you have several SlackBuild scripts but are unable to maintain
them as SBo entries, you can (as you did) ask other people to take
over maintainership of these scripts. You could post a list of
applications for which you may want to contribute a SlackBuild. That
will certainly help.

About your other question - we do not accept SlackBuild scripts that
use fakeroot or other means to avoid being root while running the
SlackBuild script. Our policy is to have SlackBuilds that stay as
close to the official (Slackware) SlackBuild scripts as possible.

Looking forward to your list of scripts.

Cheers, Eric

We expect those people who submit scripts to us to also maintain them.
If you're not willing to maintain them, then please post a list of them
to this mailing list and ask if anyone else is willing to consider
maintaining them. That person or persons can then look over the scripts
and decide if they want to support them in their current format and/or
do what's needed to get them up to our standards.

Don't.

Obviously, you are right. Slackbuild maintainance does not take
too much. But amongst the one I have written, there are
slackbuilds for software I no longer use and thus I am not
maintaining anymore. This is why I think people at SBo could take
over maintainership.

While I understand your position to respect the official
slackware policy, I do not understand why we must be root to
build a slackbuild. Do you have lectures on that topic ? Maybe
there are good reasons not to use fakeroot at all which I am not
aware of.

I have other slackbuild scripts but the general quality for them
is rather low. My main interests are in emacs package and lisp
related stuff. I am still trying to think about how to "package"
them correctly.

I maintain the leafnode script on slackbuilds.org and would be
interested to see if you have any different ideas in your script?

Hi,

Here in Brazil the OpenOffice is called BrOffice. It's not a fork and
as far as I know this new name is due to some legal issues.

Unfortunately the Brazilian maintainers decided to rename some parts
of the package and the new names are not recognized by the slackbuild
you provide.

As a suggestion to work this around without affecting other languages
I'm sending an edited version of the slackbuild. It take some actions
based on the OOLANG variable. I had to create a new patch to desktop
files, which is attached to this email too.

I don't know if this is the best solution. Maybe you should provide a
slackbuild just to the Brazilian version. Maybe you should just ignore
this abnormality.

Well, if you need any help just let me know!

By the way, thanks for the great job!

I think the best thing to do would be to submit a separate build script
for BrOffice.  Feel free :-)

I will compare them and see if something could be sent back to
you as enhancement (I doubt it though).

Superb ! Thank you Antonio. Even if I am not sharing the whole
consensus here, I understand your position and I will respect it
in case something by/from me would hit SBo.

Greetings All:

I decided to make the jump and installed KDE from 
testing..........working flawlessly so far.

Would anyone happen to have a pkg or a build script for the latest 
GTK-QT 1.1 for KDE 4?

http://gtk-qt.ecs.soton.ac.uk/index.php

I have been trying to build it from the source but I am not bright 
enough to figure out how to correct the errors I am receiving.

Appreciate any assistance...........Thanks!

Hi, happy new year!

I noticed that the README of ario states that the only dependencies
are libsoup and Avahi, but it also depends on libnotify.

Without libnotify, ario will not build properly but the SlackBuild
will complete as if nothing wrong happened and a broken package will
be generated.

Thank you!

For those concerned about the possible security implications of running SlackBuilds as root I will share part of my method of using SBo.

I always read through the scripts thoroughly unless I am already familiar with the script and author.

When I test scripts (both mine and others) I run them as my normal user first.  Simply comment out the "chown root:root" line and change $TMP from /tmp/SBo to ~/tmp/SBo.  I carefully check for any errors.  Any files trying to be written outside of DESTDIR will cause errors.  I also run my pkg-sanity script against the created package to check which system files (if any) will be overwritten, and I check the perms of the files.  Missing an executable bit on /etc can cause some temporary havoc on your system.

Also, whenever a new version of a SlackBuild is released I always diff it with the previous version.  This quickly allows me to see what has changed and often I will catch errors (such as a chown line still commented out).  People who submit SlackBuild should diff the official SBo versions of their scripts to see how they were modified (if at all).

Since TMP is defined as in the scripts as TMP=${TMP:-/tmp/SBo}, you could 
easily call the script with TMP=/home/user/tmp/SBo ./prgnam.SlackBuild.

I usually do the same when vetting the scripts by 
running them as TMP=/tmp/SBo.user  ./prgnam.SlackBuild

According to this thread at LQ it will be a near impossibility to use 
gtk-qt-engine with Qt4 / KDE4:

Even better:

TMP="$HOME/tmp/SBo" ; export TMP
TAG="_whatever" ; export TAG
./prgnam.SlackBuild
./someotherthing.SlackBuild
./somethingelse.SlackBuild

YES.

I recently ranted about this in a private mail to a submitter, so I
guess I should go ahead and throw it out for everyone.  We expect that
version updates should be based on *our* copy of the script, and we
expect new submissions to be pretty damn close to what's in the
template, except when there are obvious reasons why it shouldn't be.
I've rejected quite a few things due to requiring too many edits to 
bring in line with our standard script format.  It's nothing major, but
look at it this way: consider how it would be if everyone that
submitted a script made us spend the extra ten or so minutes required
to fix and test those sorts of changes. Since we opened the submission
form back up for 12.2, we've gotten somewhere around 250 submissions.
250 times 10 is 2500 minutes.  That's 41 hours.  41 HOURS. That's *5*
workdays (a full week) of nothing but fixing stuff that shouldn't have
been sent to us in the first place.  

Sorry to seem so harsh, but nobody is getting paid for this - we're
doing it in our spare time, and spending our spare time on repetitive
tasks that shouldn't have to be done at all is not on our list of
favorite things to do.

You got a good point here.
And for updates i often use the optional comment feild in the upload form to inform about what changes i done.
If i done some bigger changes to my builds i think thats the best place to inform about why and what it's for.
41h thats alot and they should be rejected and fixed by the maintainer
And if you read in the template.SlackBuild there is stated that you should run your builds as an user to see errors you don't see as root.
It might not be totaly clear in the template.SlackBuild that you should run it as user to see all problems you might have in you script so it maybe should be stated more clearly.

Thats my 2cents /Nille

Unfortunately, if you are going to really test the scripts as a normal user you still have to comment out the "chown root:root" line in all of the scripts.  You could probably safely sed all of the *.SlackBuild files, but ideally all of the scripts would have one switch to allow you to test the SlackBuilds as a user.  Activating the switch could skip the chown line, change TMP so it's under $HOME, and change the build tag (say _SBo-test) so the created package is flagged as a test package.

Perhaps in the future something like that could be added to the template and then all of the current SlackBuilds.

Nah, that would be adding complexity for something that's largely only
used by us.

Honestly I don't see what the big deal is about all this. If you really
want to run a script as a user for testing purposes and you're too lazy
to comment out the chown/chmod lines and the like yourself, the
following code should work flawlessly.[0] Put it in your .bashrc or 
.bash_profile or whatever you use.

sbo_user_build() {
  export TMP="${HOME}/SBo/tmp"
  export OUTPUT="${TMP}"
  export TAG="SBo-test"
  alias chown=true
  alias chmod=true
  sh $#
}

Call it thusly.

  sbo_user_build foo.SlackBuild

Happy now? Hopefully this discussion can finally die.

      creator could not possibly have made any mistakes.

Perhaps you can use the package contributors a lot more.
If you can open the pending queue for the users of this list, we can test the
pending packages, and we can catch common errors. Sometimes there
can be a user who knows more about a special area for a special package
than an SBo administrator.
We can discuss about pending packages in this list or in a new one.

Hi Chess,

Just found another possible bug or problem with a package.

When running the Updates option, I get the following:

sakura:
     POTENTIAL UPDATE
     Installed version: sakura-2.3.2-i486-1
     Repo version: sakura-2.3.2-i486-1 1

Also an FYI, anytime I try to build a pkg that has the source on 
berlios.de, they time out and I have to fetch the source elsewhere.

Best Regards,

This is strange.  It appears there is a directory called "ODNE" in the
sakura directory which contains a copy of all the same sbo-related
files.  You can see it here:

ftp://ftp.slackbuilds.org/12.2/system/sakura/

I don't think that's supposed to be there and that is what is causing
this problem -- sbopkg is finding two .info files.  One of the SBo
admins may need to check this out and remove the extra directory if
it's not needed.

Hmm... I just build and installed gpodder, which uses berlios.de, and
it downloaded the source, built, and installed just fine.  This was on
a stock sbopkg 0.20.0.  Do you have some specific examples that I can
try?

Thanks for the reports.

The problems I saw were last evening, PST. I have since been able to 
build them the past few hours.

I have seen time out issues with berlios.de in the past.........

sbopkg is a great time saver!

How does sbopkg handle a slackbuild script that's not executable?

Inkscape just failed due to a bad mdsum so I downloaded the slackbuild 
and source manually and that is when I noted the script was not executable.

It Just Works.  :-)

Actually, sbopkg executes the SlackBuild with "sh app.SlackBuild"
which will work even if it's not executable.  In fact, none of the
SlackBuilds in the repo are supposed to be executable, IIRC.

Thanks for the update on this. I'm glad it works now. I have tested it on 12.1 
once and it didn't work that well.

Thanks as well for fixing these issues (although both scripts used the right 
perl directory before...they just tried to remove a wrong, non-existing 
(empty) directory. Yeah I know, nitpick :P )

For clarification, I know I'm a little bit behind on some updates lately. I'm 
sorry about that and please believe me, I'm not happy about it either. I have 
some organisational problems to solve before I can start on 12.2 scripts with 
full speed again. I hope this doesn't last too long. I seriously miss hacking 
on the scripts :(

Grs,
Heinz

The goal is to have the files on the server non-executable but the 
*.SlackBuild in the tarball executable. Congratulations on the 
0.20.0 release of your most excellent tool.

Sorry for the poor set of scripts i submitted this time, escpecially the script
for calc needed a lot of review as it seems.

Ah, that makes sense.  Thanks, David!  And just so folks know,
development is ongoing.  I am currently working on two new features
(along with bugfixes, of course): (1) the ability to pass along
arguments to the SlackBuilds when packages are built in the dialog
interface (some SlackBuilds offer the opportunity to tune or tweak
things by passing along FOO=bar, e.g.  before executing the
SlackBuild) and (2) the ability to have a $HOME/.sbopkg.conf which
will override variables set in the regular sbopkg.conf file.  Coupled
with this last point is when a user changes the Slackware version in
the dialog interface (i.e. selecting Slackware 12.1) that can now
optionally be saved to the $HOME/.sbopkg.conf so that it will be
picked up the next time sbopkg is run.

Subject: [Slackbuilds-users] Problem with kvm
Message-ID: <4963927C.4010701@cotterochan.co.uk>

kvm-78 does not build unless you comment out the man building lines.

# Fix up the manpages
# mv $PKG/usr/share/man $PKG/usr/man
# gzip -9 $PKG/usr/man/man?/*.?

I think this is because of this

# Needed to build man pages if build is ran from su
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/share/texmf/bin

I do not have tex installed, is this the problem.

Once built kvm does not run qemu-system-x86_64 because it is looking for 
programs in /usr/local/share/qemu and they have been installed in 
/usr/share/qemu . This can be fixed by linking the locations.

My system is Slackware 12.2 Linux quad 2.6.27.7-smp #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 
22:18:02 CST 2008 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU    Q6600  @ 2.40GHz 
GenuineIntel GNU/Linux.

I hope this makes sense. Please email if you require further info.

Hello,

I guess i forgot to get the md5sum here:
http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/12.2/misc/misctools/misctools.info

Which is b133836d9692feaf455481ac78d65364 on this system.

Thanks to MG for having me check this, as i got mail about the
Source MD5SUM: here
http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12.0/libraries/libcap/

Which shoud be 0021ac30148844537e134512587691fb as found in
http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/12.0/libraries/libcap/libcap.info

Hope this can all be fixed without me having to re submit...

Well, yeah, but I *swear* I thought I fixed that before I synced it.
Oh well, apparently not. :/

I think to have the program without a documentation bad idea.

You may to install tetex-3.0-i486-5 No? :)

ps. sorry for old release (kvm-78), I have in the last month very little
time. I will upload latest release asap. It has indeed interesting
features (e.g. host pci device assignment, nested virtualization..)

Apologies to Alex Lysenka - he's the new maintainer of webkit and
midori.  Thanks for the updates, Alex, and sorry for the mishap.

Maybe I am dumb but I do not see why one would need this feature.
Given the fact running SBo slackbuilds should be done as root,
why not just modify /etc/sbopkg.conf ?

It's been requested by more than one person.  I agree that's it's
simple enough to edit the main sbopkg.conf but I guess there are a few
folks building packages for 12.1 and 12.2 and want to be able to
switch back and forth easily without having to constantly edit
sbopkg.conf.  I doubt most will need to use this feature, IMHO,
although it's possible that adding this will allow future
configuration of other options from within the dialog interface.

If you're running 12.1, you'll have a 12.1 environment.  You can't just tell
it to build a package for a different version of Slackware, can you?

No, nothing fancy like that.  I think there are some folks that just
want to build different versions of apps in the different repos.  Many
apps for 12.1 build ok for 12.2 and vice-versa.  There are some folks
I know using the 12.2 repo for a 12.1 install but still need the 12.1
install for items that are dependent on the slackware version.

Hi,

The jpilot people have changed versions and also rid themselves of the
older source code so the download link on slackbuilds is broken. New
link + new version:

http://jpilot.org/jpilot-1.6.1.tar.gz

Thanks for the script for this one, I no longer feel guilty using my

Subject: [Slackbuilds-users] apvlv SlackBuild
Message-ID: <20090107124901.GE2978@dark>

It seems that the apvlv searches in $PKG/usr/doc/$PRGNAM and not
$PKG/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION to find the pdf needed for it to start
without arguments, even if docdir is defined, and crashes.
I will try to contact the developer of the application at some point,
in order to solve but he doesnt cope that well with English, so its
probably gonna take a while.
Until then, i dont know maybe it would be better to remove it?
I was planning on submitting an update anyway, since as its still in
very early development theres frequent updates, but this drawback is
gonna stall things a bit longer.
Thanks to alkos333 for bringing it to my attention.

Alex,

   I've used jpilot for years and have a script originally written by Eric
that works. What's involved in maintaining it? All I do with my working
scripts (e.g., jpilot, lyx) is change the version number to match the
tarball and run it. Am I missing something important here?

Thanks,

Rich

office/apvlv: Added a symlink at /usr/doc/apvlv to the real docs directory
  so that apvlv will start; I'll try to look into a *real* fix later.

Latest update should fix it; if not, let me know.

In the meantime, I see the problem.  In src/ApvlvUtil.cpp:

  string helppdf = string (PREFIX) + "/share/doc/apvlv/Startup.pdf";
  string iniexam = string (PREFIX) + "/share/doc/apvlv/apvlvrc.example";

We can easily sed that, but really, it should be fixed upstream.

I believe the attached patch will fix it :)  (CC'd upstream)

Well, I hope "didn't work" means "wouldn't build" - because I can't
actually attest to whether the resulting package actually works -- I
just figured since I was going to be updating the script anyway, I
might as well bump the version.  If it turns out to be broken, we'll
revert it.

Yeah, I just grepped for '5.8.8' in our repository :-)

No worries; I understand how that goes.  If anything comes up that
really *needs* to be updated, let me know and I'll try to handle it.

Yeah, it wouldn't build here (on 12.1). So if it builds now (I haven't tested 
it yet but I'm sure it does :) ) everything should be fine.

Rich,

Most of the time that's all you'll need to do.  When the new versions
come out, bump the version string and see if it compiles alright and
if it doesn't compile, figure out what changes have been made to
source (new dependencies, etc)  and modify the script accordingly.


Regards,
Alex

Thanks a lot for the patch, but you are right - it needs to be fixed
upstream.  Have you contacted any of the developer(s)?

Alex,

   Seems simple enough. Judd used to supply the binary as a Slackware package
because that's the distribution he was using. However, he seems to have
changed to Ubuntu for some reason.

Thanks,

Rich

Okay, if it wouldn't build, then I suspect it was that bug I patched --
it wouldn't build here either, and it had me scratching my head for a
few minutes.  Turned out to be a lost \" in the Makefile.in, but my
eyes just wouldn't see it the first few times I looked for it :-)

Hello,

I've noticed that my Scilab SlackBuild still had some mistakes, and
fixed them. Sorry for disturbing, I will pay more attention to the
details involved before submitting another SlackBuild. This one was a
little tricky because the Makefile is not a "default" one, so it
needed some tweaks with Sed and a hand-coded doinst.sh.

Can any of the admins remove it (again)? I will re-submit it as soon
as possible. Sorry again for my mistakes.

Hi,

I have just finished spring cleaning my own Frankenstein's monster
script for ffmpeg and incorporated the installation of the ffpresets.
Would the following be a useful addition to the slackbuilds.org
ffmpeg script?

+-----------------
mkdir -p $PKG/usr/share/ffmpeg
cp -a ffpresets/*.ffpreset $PKG/usr/share/ffmpeg

All the best,

Subject: [Slackbuilds-users] Built-in obsolescence
Message-ID: <49673A91.2060509@yahoo.co.uk>

JMRI is an app with two dependencies.  In both cases the dependent
packages, which are not currently available at SBo, must be very
specific versions which were obsoleted some time ago (rxtx-2.0-7pre2 and
javacomm-2.0.)  Upstream has indicated that there's no real prospect of
rewriting against newer versions.

How welcome would SlackBuilds for this, uhhh, idiosyncratic ensemble be?
 Obviously, the two obsolete packages would have to have prominent
warnings in the README and slack-desc.  Would that be good enough?

Sorry to hassle you all, but that's got to be better than just stinking
out the repository without asking :-/

It seems that i have made a mistake with the md5sum of libgtop.
The correct one is

I am really sorry for this. Thanks to Chess Griffin for pointing this out.

In the gens SlackBuild there is no case for i686 arch and the

line needs to be
   mkdir -p $TMP $PKG $OUTPUT

Without the latter the script will actually fail if $TMP (/tmp/SBo) already exists.

Hi,

There have been a couple of new releases of the "Ion" package. The
SlackBuild only needs the version number to be updated. I updated my
local copy and can confirm that the package builds correctly and
functions properly.

I'm attaching a diff. The only changes are the version update and the
new MD5 sum.

Is this fine or should I use the upload form at the slackbuilds.org site?


Additionally, if the current maintainer wishes so, I can gladly take
maintainership of this SlackBuild.

Thank you,

- Jorge

Hello Jorge,

I submitted the original script. However, I have since switched to Debian and
do not maintain any SlackBuilds. It is more than fine with me if you maintain
the Ion SlackBuild.

Hello Vasilis, thank you for creating this script.

SBo admins, I have uploaded an updated script via the upload form at
the site. Please disregard the .diff file that I attached in the

Greetings all,

In case you were wondering what happened to the mailing list
(and perhaps some other websites that you might frequent), 
we had some unexpected downtime of cardinal.lizella.net around
1100 EST yesterday until just a few moments ago.  As of right
now, we honestly don't know what the problem was/is, but it's
something specific to cardinal - not a colo problem.

Subject: [Slackbuilds-users] Spranq Ecofont Truetype
Message-ID: <200901121215.45408.lukenshiro@ngi.it>

I would intend to submit an ecologically-compliant TTF font, made by a 
Dutch company. According to its author, its main purpose is to save ink 
when printing, so I think it could be useful to use and adopt it.

The problem seems to be its problematic license:
this company claims the software to be distributed under GPL, but it 
adds some restrictions in additional paragraphs who somewhat forbid some 
behaviours (mainly non-commercial and intellectual property clauses: it 
can't be sold at all, it can't be developed separately, its underlying 
technique can't be used in other fonts), without any prior 
authorization:
http://www.ecofont.eu/assets/files/Ecofont_licence.pdf
Furthermore, this font is based upon Bitstream Vera, who already has a 
partly GPL-incompatible license: 
http://www.gnome.org/fonts/#Final_Bitstream_Vera_Fonts
(it can't be sold alone, etc..).

According to the paragraphs' legal meaning, it would seem to apply all 
GPL license's clauses, including free($) and free(libre) redistribution, 
_except_ for above limitations. On the other hand it can be maybe 
considered a "derivative work" (being based on Bitstream Vera), so it 
most likely has to comply with B.V. license, as well.
B.V. can be modified but you definitely must change its name; for this 
one, it is not clear if it can or cannot be modified/adapted/patched at 
all (I'd say even slight modification is prohibited, no matter if you 
change name or not).

It's simply a mess .... :-//
Is this font, nonetheless, acceptable for SlackBuilds.org?

P.S. BTW debian distribution's maintainers have radically rejected it, 
but we all know they are really strict in what is or is not 100% free 
software as in freedom to be included and maintained in that distro.
In this case, being a font and not requiring special measures to be 
installed, I believe maybe freedom can be considered at a different 
meaning and floor, compared to a so-called 'traditional' software. But, 
obviously, the decision is up to you, admins.

Sorry to hijack, but along these same lines, Vasilis - do you mind if
I take over pypanel?  I'd like to submit an update with the patch we
discussed.

A couple of days ago, i found out that the files provided by the tdb
SlackBuild are also provided by the samba package which is part of
Slackware. Tdb is part of samba for quite some time, i dont know how
much exactly, cause i dont use it.
Regarding there is a policy for submitted scripts not to interfere with
parts of Slackware, maybe it would be better for it to be removed from
the repositories?
The above applies at least to the 12.2 repository. I havent checked 12.1
but i find it very possible to be the same, as the standalone tdb package
hasnt been updated for nearly 7 years.

I forgot to say that AFAIK the only package depending on tdb, is fdm for
which i have already submitted an update, leaving the tdb dependency out
of the README.

I believe the policy is that it doesn't matter what license the software in
question is under, just that the SlackBuild script itself needs to be open
source. For example the repositories already include SlackBuilds for Opera,
Flash, and the Nvidia drivers all of which are closed source.

Note: I'm not an Admin, but I assume an admin will correct me if I'm incorrect
on this.

I'll second this.  A re-read of http://slackbuilds.org/guidelines/ says
nothing about the license of the software.  Heck, they even have one for
Defcon, which is not even free.

Some months ago i wrote a shell script that check if the content of a
still-not-installed package already exists in the system and for
example in tdb's case it show me that these are the affected files:
/usr/lib/libtdb.so.1
/usr/bin/tdbdump
/usr/bin/tdbtool
/usr/include/tdb.h
All of them are part of samba(in 12.2, samba-3.2.7-i486-1_slack12.2 package)

You can find the shell script here: http://pastebin.slackadelic.com/9375

Ok, thank you, Timothy and JK!
The SlackBuild will be in compliance with the policy, as usual.
Yes, there are already some proprietary packages here, actually, so 
another "hybrid" one can't hurt so much ...

Message-ID: <ecb28420901161426v2a53c30bnf6047be5f78862f0@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I just submitted a package called chm2pdf and one of its two
dependencies (pychm, because htmldoc was already submitted) to
SlackBuilds.org. This package needs chmlib to be configured with the
flag --enable-examples, because it uses some of its binaries. I
propose the attached patch to the chmlib SlackBuild, in case chm2pdf
is approved.

Thanks in advance

Subject: [Slackbuilds-users] Sbopkg 0.25.0 released
Message-ID: <20090117030250.GA8611@localhost>

A new version 0.25.0 of sbopkg has been released.  This release
contains many important bug-fixes over 0.20.0, please some nifty new
features, mostly associated with the new build queue, that I think
folks will find helpful.  Thanks again to everyone who contributed to
this release, including slakmagik, SpacePlod, and others.  I would
like to give a special shout-out to Mauro Giachero for his numerous
patches and suggestions.  Many of the improvements to the build queue
were due to Mauro's contributions.

The build queue, incidentally, has been working extremely well for
myself and for folks using SVN and the 0.25.0 release candidate, and
the feedback I received has helped to greatly improve the build queue
feature over the 0.20.0 release.  Thanks to everyone who tested and
provided that feedback.

As you can tell. this is another version jump due to the number of
fixes, enhancements, and new features.  Here are a few:

  * Fix issue where packages were sometimes incorrectly identified as
    already being in the build queue when they were not; thanks to
    SpacePlod for the bug report and thanks to Mauro Giachero for
    further bug reporting and providing a patch to fix it.
  * Add ability to pass build options/flavors/arguments to the
    SlackBuild when using the dialog interface.
  * Include ability to reverse or manually sort the items in the build
    queue; thanks to Mauro Giachero for the patches to implement these
    features.
  * Move all the queue functions into a separate 'Manage Queue'
    submenu off the main menu.
  * Allow user to save (and load) the build queue between sessions by
    specifing a file and location, so multiple saved queues can be
    maintained.
  * Automatically backup the current queue upon exiting and offer to
    reload upon first entering the queue submenu.
  * Provide a menu entry to clear the build queue.
  * Merge in several patches from Mauro Giachero to display the SVN
    version number; clean up use of cancel/back and ESC (ESC now takes
    you back a step in most dialogs); improve the cleanup process; and
    improve the new build flavors/options dialog.
  * Apply several patches from slakmagik for various little fixes,
    cleanups, and tweaks.
  * Create a new 'Utilities' submenu off the main menu and move some
    of the less-important items there in order to clean up the main
    menu.  It was getting a bit bulky.  :-)
  * Add ability to download a new sbopkg package when there is an
    update.
  * Include optional use of a ~/.sbopkg.conf, which will override
    settings in the system /etc/sbopkg/sbopkg.conf file.
  * When changing the Slackware version in the dialog interface, offer
    the user the opportunity to save this change in the new
    ~/.sbopkg.conf file.

Full ChangeLog.txt can be viewed here:

http://www.sbopkg.org/files/ChangeLog.txt

As always, please report any bugs to me via email, the sbopkg mailing
list, or, using the Issue tracker on the project's Google Code
website.  I can also be found in #sbopkg, #slackbuilds, and
##slackware on freenode.

A noarch package and source tarball for version 0.25.0 can be found at
the sbopkg project website:

Thanks!

I've got the updated fdm package in READY now (along with a small patch
to kill the hardcoded owner/group in the Makefiles), and tdb is also
slated for removal in the next update.  Thanks for the headsup on this.

We're not shipping source or binaries of this, so as far as we're
concerned, it doesn't matter if the license requires you to use a rusty
spoon to remove sensitive parts of your anatomy and install GNU/Hurd on
your grandmother's computer.   Is that clear enough?  ;-)

So long as the deps build on 12.2, it's not really an issue, and since
upstream doesn't intend to release newer versions, I don't even see the
need for a special note.

Message-ID: <200901171540.48052.thomditom@aktiivi.ath.cx>

Hello there,

I just noticed that the fontforge manpages get installed in /usr/man instead 
of $PKG/usr/man when running the SlackBuild script.

Besides "prefix" and "libdir" one could add a "mandir" to the "make install" 
call to fix this. But wouldn't it be more wise to just use the common "make 
install DESTDIR=$PKG" or will this break something else?

The best guess at this point is:  fontforge didn't always have
manpages, nor has the DESTDIR support always been there - that's the
only good reason I can come up with -- assuming that's the case, I just
haven't noticed the changes upstream, so I haven't fixed up the build
script.  Of course, maybe I'm just suffering from HUA syndrome - that's
always possible too ;-)

Anyway, I'll look into this and try to get a fix in asap; at a glance,
it looks like the --mandir usage plus DESTDIR target at make install
should handle it.

Thanks for the heads-up on this, Thomas.

Message-ID: <200901190008.47329.thomditom@aktiivi.ath.cx>

Hello there,

The SlackBuild in the 12.2 repository for cpan2tgz is still for version 0.6.2 
which itself builds fine, but the resulting program actually isn't able to 
build packages due to changes in the Slackware-supplied CPAN.pm.

This problem is fixed from 0.6.3 onwards, but I wonder if it's really worth 
updating the SBo script since cpan2tgz is a tool exclusively for Slackware 
and the author himself offers ready-to-be-installed "noarch" packages on his 
homepage.

What do you think?

Hi,

Thank you.

We've got 0.6.5 in the READY queue for the next push :-)

emacs?  You mean people actually *use* that stuff?  ;-)

Probably they should go to the relevant category if it's clear -- e.g.
a music player goes to audio -- or if it's some multipurpose thing
(and being emacs-related, I'm guessing that these will be more common),
then perhaps Misc or System or some such.

I tried it that way (leaving "configure" as it is and using the common "make 
install DESTDIR=$PKG" without any other tweaks) and the result looks good to 
me. I checked with "make -n install ..." before and didn't notice any files 
being written where they weren't supposed to be.

You're welcome.

As you suspected.  Moneydance is proprietary, so I doubt the
developer(s) would agree to that.  I might check though anyway...

I've made the change ; it will be part of the next update.  Thanks!

Pat, you might want to consider adding that in the kde4/deps/chmlib

Hijacking this thread...

Any chance the new cpan2tgz script will honor $OUTPUT? Changing the 9th line
of buildslackpkg.diff from
+OUTPUT=/tmp
to
+OUTPUT=${OUTPUT:-/tmp}
is enough.

Even better; I've completely rewritten the script for 0.6.5, and it
will be in the next bunch of updates.  

As for when those will go public, well, it's anybody's guess.  The
batch is *huge* and will take a bit of time.  Maybe I'll try to get a
few of them out today, but no promises...

Someone emailed you about it (though I don't remember who) - basically,
it's not clear to us what the purpose of the new submission is.

Here's the diff of what's in the repo now versus the new submission
(attached as plain text):

E.g. AUCTeX  is in the "Office" section.  I will say that I didn't look
there and overlooked this SlackBuild ;)

I also have one for bbdb and a few others --- I will submit them.

What was meant in the last line probably was:

qmake-qt4 QMAKE_CXXFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" || qmake QMAKE_CXXFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS"

This way, indeed it should be possible to build the package against
either Qt4 from SBo, or Qt4 from testing.  But, probably best to wait
for Grissiom to confirm...

I wrote the SlackBuild for AUCTeX, and I'm not sure what this one is
doing in "Office" section either (I'm pretty sure I haven't selected
that category back then on first upload) :-)

Anyway, it probably may have been better if SBo stuck with Slackware
package categories ("a", "ap", "d", etc.).  But it's now probably way
too late for a change.

Yes, exactly I wanted to say

qmake-qt4 QMAKE_CXXFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" || qmake QMAKE_CXXFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS"

But I just copied the first one after "||" and forgot to modify the
second qmake... The fault is my own. Plz forgive me...

That wouldn't do at all. The disk series in Slackware are not just
exclusive to Slackware, they really don't make sense outside of it. For
example, the only real difference between the "a" series and the "ap"
series is that the first is the absolute bare necessities to boot and
run, but both sets are "CLI applications". Even then, the line is
somewhat blurred. Should "man" really be in the "ap" series? One can
make the case that "man" is a bare necessity. Beyond that, what
constitutes a library that belongs in the "l" series? Several libraries
are included in "kde" or "x" for example. In other words, using those
labels apart from the Slackware installer has little or no meaning.

Also, using the Slackware disksets would have been more than a little
presumptuous on our part. It would be the same as walking up to Pat,
slapping him in the face, and saying "Slackware should have
foo-0.9b1-i486-1.tgz in ap/ like slackbuilds.org has done!"

I have to admit, I didn't expect that. But it makes perfect sense.

Honestly, if you've got quite a few, perhaps an emacs section would be
a good thing.  Ping us about it when the next Slackware release is
getting close.  :)

The encoding of scilab.info is utf-8 which is incompatible with
Slackbuild site that uses iso8859-1.

The README and slack-desc for libAfterImage both have a minor spelling mistake
(copied from the upstream home page): convinience instead of convenience.

Okay, not a problem; it's not like *we* haven't made mistakes :-)

I'm curious about something else now though - what's the reason for
adding MAKEOPT="-s" to it?  Is this something that upstream recommends?

Oh, it's just my personal favorite. I don't like the building messages
flood my terminal so I add this. You can feel free to remove it ;)

It says it requires qt4, but you don't *have* to build a GUI.  By simply adding --disable-gui to the configure line you can build this very quickly and simply use ophcrack from the command line.  Perhaps the script can be changed to make qt4 an *optional* dependency or at least have a note in the README mentioning the above information.

This is now fixed ; I had put it in the wrong place (see latest update
mail).

Message-ID: <4978A89A.7030708@skmail.ikp.physik.tu-darmstadt.de>

Hello,

The SlackBuild for galculator(*) has a typo which prevents unpacking the 
source tarball. The line:

tar xvf $CWD/$PRGNAM-$VERSION.tar.bz2

should read:

tar xjvf $CWD/$PRGNAM-$VERSION.tar.bz2

BTW, I built and installed the latest version (1.3.3) with the minimum 
necessary changes to the info and SlackBuild files and everything seems OK.

Best regards,

Serban Udrea

(*) Both in the repositories for Slackware 12.1 and 12.2. Please also 
note that I am still using 12.1.

tar since quite some time ago supports this.  Something is wrong on
your system.

Nooo, it was me being stupid! Sorry for bothering the list and the 
maintainer with this.

Actually, thanks for the hint, I am so used to type xjvf that I never 
realized it works also with xvf.

I just typed "webcore-fonts" into the SlackBuilds.org search box. The
webcore-fonts SlackBuild showed up twice.

Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.00.0901241928070.20937@salmo.appl-ecosys.com>

   A couple of days ago I successfully built the taskjuggler and tinyerp
packages on my notebook. Today both failed the build process on my
server/workstation desktop. Both machines run Slackware-12.2 with all
pertinent patches applied. I'd appreciate insight into what might be the
problems on the one host.

   TaskJuggler: complains it cannot find Qt. I have qt-3.3.8b, qt4-4.4.3
installed from SlackBuild scripts and qt4-4.2.2 installed from a tarball
build. I modified the taskjuggler.SlackBuild script to specify the qt4 root
directory, include directory, and lib directory. No joy. Tried again with
the paths to the 3.3.8b version. Still no joy. I'm at a loss what to do.

   tinyerp-client: the tinyerp-client.SlackBuild script quickly halts
displaying this:

Error: python module gtk (gtk python bindings) is required
Error: python module gtk.glade (glade python bindings) is required

yet, PyGTK is installed: pygtk-2.12.1-i486-2.

   Again, both built just fine on my notebook so I'm at a complete loss to
understand why they won't build on the server/workstation even when the
supposedly missing libraries are present.

TIA,

Rich

How did you modify the script?

Could you please launch a python in the terminal and try "import
pygtk" to see there is any problem? Maybe you should launch python in
the way that the script does.

So, what is the environmental difference between your notebook and server?

Grissiom,

   I added the Qt root, include, and library path to the configure portion.

[rshepard at salmo ~]$ python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Sep 11 2008, 13:43:31) 
[GCC 4.2.4] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pygtk

   It loads OK.

   Here are, I believe, the pertinent lines from tinyerp.SlackBuild:

python setup.py install --root=$PKG

mkdir -p $PKG/usr/share/applications
cp -f $CWD/tinyerp-client.desktop $PKG/usr/share/applications/

> So, what is the environmental difference between your notebook and server?

   CPU, amount of RAM, more applications installed on the server, MTA runs on
server, ...

Thanks,

Rich

   As a follow up, tinyerp-server built and installed just fine. Sigh.

The GUI for taskjuggler does only work with qt3. I have no clue actually why 
it isn't finding it, bot can give you some hints on what to try. You can try 
reinstalling the stock qt-3.3.8 package and see if it works then. If it does, 
most likely your qt4 4.2.2 screwed up the qt3 setup.
Also an option, but probably not the best one I suppose, is to build 
taskjuggler without the GUI. Don't know the configure switch though currently

I can not even guess here :/
Are these the only error messages you get?

   Thanks, Heinz.

   I wanted only to look at this because I'm probably going to be using
OpenProject. The latter reads Microsoft Project files and lets me do some
resource leveling and other neat things I've not seen since I used TimeLine
in DOS almost 20 years ago. I miss that program! There's nothing like it for
linux, unfortunately, and it's a critical piece of many businesses.

   Yup. That's all I see ... even when I untar the package and run 'python
setup.py install'. I even added 'import pygtk' to the setup.py file and it
makes no difference.

   I think what I'll try is tarring the python-2.5/site-packages/ directory
on the notebook and using scp to copy it to the server/workstation. I'll
also find the other files and copy them, too. But, I'd sure like to learn
why it builds on one machine and not the other!

I tried installing gnucash from SlackBuilds. Everyting worked OK except 
that I also need libglade-2.0 (not mentioned on the dependencies of 
gnucash in slackbuilds).  Without it I couldn't install some of  the 
packages.  I installed libglade from linuxpackages.net and then could 
install the rest of the packages. I needed to do this after installing 
gail and before libgnomecanvas.  I tried with glade3 but didn't work.  
Maybe libglade-2.0 could be added to slackbuilds (I don't know how to do 
it, sorry)

Thanks

Libglade is not mentioned as dependency because it is part of Slackware 
12.2: slackware/l/libglade-2.6.3-i486-1.tgz has /usr/lib/libglade-2.0.so

Subject: [Slackbuilds-users] Sbopkg 0.26.0 released
Message-ID: <20090129150951.GA29706@localhost>

A new version 0.26.0 of sbopkg has been released.  This release would
not have been possible without the help of Mauro Giachero and slakmagik.
For those who might have missed the announcement on the sbopkg mailing
list, Mauro has joined me as co-developer of sbopkg, and will be helping
me maintain and improve sbopkg.  Additionally, slakmagik has contributed
many excellent patches, as well as the very useful 'sspm' script
mentioned in the ChangeLog below.

The big news in this release is the entirely new update code written by
Mauro, which greatly reduces, if not eliminates, the problems and false
positives seen previously.  A lot of time was also spent on improving
the build queue and generally cleaning up the code.  Also, please be
aware that there is a new file, sbopkg-renames, as well as a new
sbopkg.conf configuration variable, LOGFILE, both of which are mentioned
below.

Here are some of the highlights of the ChangeLog:

  * Add in new update code by Mauro Giachero.  This /greatly/ improves how the
    updates are handled and virtually eliminates the need for specific
    application quirks.  Please note there is a new file
    /etc/sbopkg/sbopkg-renames that handles a few name changes.  If you
    upgrade sbopkg with the new package, then this file will be automatically
    installed.  If not, you'll need to grab this file from the source tarball
    and move it there manually.  Many thanks to Mauro for the hard work in
    finally getting the update code done right.  :-)
  * Change how selecting/unselecting items in the build queue are handled.
    Now, when items are unselected, they remain in the queue but are turned
    "OFF" and when the queue is processed, only those packages turned "ON"
    will be built or installed.
  * Improve how packages are added to the queue.  The user is now prompted if
    they want to replace items already in the queue or skip them.  This may be
    helpful if a user has saved a queue with lots of dependencies that are
    then updated through the rsync process.  The updates can be added to the
    queue, replacing the old versions.
  * Add in a nice progress gauge when running the update list rather than the
    warning message.  Thanks to alkos333 for the idea and initial
    implementation, and thanks to Mauro Giachero for working on the CLI
    version.
  * Replace the 'Clear Queue' menu item with 'Delete Queue Items' which
    provides the user the ability to delete individual items in the queue or
    clear the entire build queue.
  * Add in ability to have a /local directory in the local SBo repository tree
    on a user's system that is in parallel with other SBo directories (i.e.
    /home/sbo/local).  As long as this directory is maintained in an SBo style
    (including user-defined categories), then sbopkg will pick them up and the
    user can change their SLACKVER to 'local' and build/install packages from
    there.  This might be useful in testing pre-submissions to SBo or for
    maintaining other software not in SBo.  This was inspired by a similar
    idea contributed by slakmagik.  Please see the sbopkg.conf(5) man page for
    more information.
  * Commit a patch from slakmagik that adds a new sbopkg.conf variable LOGFILE
    where the user can decide the name and location of the permanent build
    log, if used; thanks to slakmagik for the patch.
  * Fix issue where downloaded sources with spaces in their file names would
    cause an MD5SUM failure; thanks to alkos333 for the bug report, and thanks
    to Mauro Giachero for improving my initial bug fix implementation.
  * Commit several other patches from slakmagik that improve the handling of
    the search box upon search failures; tweak the precheck log a bit; improve
    the checking of root privilegs, and improve the handling of the
    directory-creation checks; thanks to slakmagik for these patches.
  * Add 'sspm' utility script by slakmagik which makes mirroring the sbopkg
    SVN repository and making a package from the local SVN mirror very easy;
    this script is located in the /tools directory in the sbopkg SVN
    repository; thanks to slakmagik for the script.
  * Fix issue where ARCH would sometimes not get picked up in info_item menu
    (notably for OpenOffice.org); thanks to artourter for the bug report, and
    thanks to Mauro for the fix.

A full ChangeLog.txt can be viewed here:

http://www.sbopkg.org/files/ChangeLog.txt

As always, please report any bugs to me via email, the sbopkg mailing
list, or, using the Issue Tracker on the projects Google Code website.
I can also be found in #sbopkg, #slackbuilds, and ##slackware on
freenode.

A noarch package and source tarball for version 0.26.0 can be found at
the sbopkg project website:

Thanks again to Mauro and slakmagik and to everyone else who helped test
and send in bug reports.

Enjoy!

The one feature sbopkg lacks that SlackBuilds.org has is the ability to search for packages based on search tags.

Ideally, the search tags would be in the .info files.  I don't even remember what tags I used for all of my submissions, so I would not mind seeing them.  Perhaps a for loop and cat can just dump the tags at the end of the .info files in the repo, or all new submissions could start using them.

Alternatively, perhaps all of the search tags could be listed in one file that sbopkg can grep.

AFAIK, there are no search tags in the .info files.  That's handled
internally at SBo, I don't know if they can be used externally.

Well that's exactly the proposition - to make the search tags
accessable, so sbopkg  could make use of them.

Hi,

The fact that a 3rd party tool (sbopkg) is available to ease the 
compilation of SlackBuilds.org scripts does not imply the reverse - that 
the SlackBuilds.org site's functionality should be adapted to comply with 
requirements imposed by an external tool.

In other words, we will not change the site's functionality. Use a web 
browser and search the SlackBuilds.org site if you need to find something.

Just as a side comment: most of the time, the most boring part of
creating SlackBuild for me is choosing these "tags"; so on the opposite
of the OP suggestion, I wouldn't mind even if these completely removed
from the picture.  I wouldn't expect someone to start search for needed
package at SBo site; I'd expect user to accomplish Google search, find a
list of interesting packages, and then comes to SBo site to check which
of these are available there - at least this is what I'm doing when I
look for a piece of software...

On the other side: wouldn't be possible (if not already implemented) for
sbopkg to employ grep, or something alike to search through
README/slack-desc files?

Regards,
Alex

I agree with Aleksandar Samardzic: it would be interesting to have a 
switch/flag/option in order to do a search for one or some words in 
package description.

My problem with the tags is that there is no standard for the tags. Tags
are given by the packager, and sometimes the wording depends from
the background of the packager. For example what is the "right" tag for
a program similar to subversion, configuration management,
version control, revision control, source control, source management etc.?

Subject: [Slackbuilds-users] Sbopkg 0.26.1 released - security update
Message-ID: <20090130222023.GA30961@localhost>

This is a quick point release updating the latest sbopkg to version
0.26.1 with some important security improvements.  Here is the brief
ChangeLog:

  * Implement some security fixes, namely, customize the output of some of the
    menus so only things that can be done as root (i.e. build, install,
    process the queue) are seen by the root user; also add a check to make
    sure only root can install packages and that packages are correctly set
    with root:root permissions.  Thanks to Phillip Warner for the report and
    suggestions.
  * Modify SLACKVER in sbopkg.conf so it can be passed at runtime to sbopkg.
    Thanks to TSquaredF for the suggestion.  You may choose to update
    your SLACKVER based on what is in the sbopkg.conf.new.
  * Quiet down the number of messages displayed when updated items are added
    to the queue; thanks to Phillip Warner for the suggestion.
  * Fix issue where sometimes duplicate items would appear in the search
    results dialog; thanks to Phillip Warner for the suggestion.

An updated source tarball and package are available on the sbopkg web
site:

http://www.sbopkg.org

Thanks!

Solved this one by a small adjustment to the FFmpeg script that I
originally sourced from slackbuilds.org. FFmpeg build script needs a
TEMPDIR variable assigned:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/
a-full-featured-multimedia-slackware-692094/#post3390981

(This address should be a single line, or use:

Can the FFmpeg script be altered for this purpose?

Ok, I have uploaded a 0.26.2 package and source tarball that fixes the
regression.  If you would rather manually patch sbopkg, the diff is
below.  Again, I apologize for the error.

That should be doable, but I don't think it's a good idea. For
starters, I don't see it getting used too much; the slack-desc file is
just unlikely to have exactly what you're looking for.  False-positives
and false-negatives would (I imagine) be pretty high.  The code to do
it isn't too complex though.


# WARNING: The following code is completely untested and subject to
#result in death or dismemberment
echo -n "Enter search terms in regular
expression: "
readline GREP_REGEX
find . -type f -name "slack-desc" | (while read SD; do
  APP=$(dirname "$SD" | cut -d '/' -f 2)
  if grep "$GREP_REGEX" "$SD" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    # APP contains the regex
    echo "$APP matches"
  fi
done)

Of course, you'd want to eliminate the comments that often are at the
top of the slack-desc file, and it would be nice to concatenate all the
valid lines of the slack-desc file together without the annoying
PRGNAME: prepend to each of them.  Oh yeah, you'd want to filter out
the handy ruler for perfection.  In short, the slack-desc file just
doesn't lend itself well to these kind of searches, not least of all
because it might not include the same kind of information the package
tags contain.
