> their usage on SBo, so it goes autotools, python, cmake, perl, haskell,
> ruby... 1-6. There is also a 7 for those scripts that don't use any of those
> build systems (make just repackaging a binary).

> A simple script for a cmake-based SlackBuild would be:
>
> sbgen.sh 3 myprogram 2.6.7
>
> But you can also get all of the .info filled using options:
>
> sbgen.sh -w https://github.com/project/myprogram \
>   -d
> https://github.com/project/myprogram/archive/2.6.7/myprogram-2.6.7.tar.gz \
>   -m f4261584809b70f908a53fad87aa87e1 \
>   -r "program1 program2" \
>   3 program 2.6.7 libraries
>
> (You can use a capital D and capital M for the 64bit DOWNLOAD and MD5SUM
> variables.)
>
> Hopefully this can cut down on a lot of the initial prep work when creating
> a new SlackBuild.
>
> You can edit the top of the script to set your name, email, and copyright
> year, as well as the location to store the SlackBuilds once created. There's
> checks in place to make sure you don't overwrite existing SlackBuilds
> (unless you use the -f option to force it).
>
> I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions as well as any issues you may
> have if you're willing to test.
