[Slackbuilds-users] sbotools config issues

[Matteo Bernardini]

hi,

just for testing I downloaded, packaged and installed sbotools from here

https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/system/sbotools/

following what's written on the documentation

https://pink-mist.github.io/sbotools/documentation/

I run "sbosnap fetch" to download the repository and I saw that in
/usr/sbo/repo what is downloaded by default the unofficial repository for
current that I maintain (check /usr/sbo/repo/.git/config) that shouldn't be
used for 15.0 (maybe some other default should be set in the package on
SBo) but should help who's running current.

the reason why it should help who's running current is that it contains
patches for the broken scripts that don't build on current and that are
reported to me through the dedicated stickied thread on LQ and, also,
scripts that are added to current are removed from there to avoid risks of
overlap with what is already in current, like Gene explained in another
message of this thread.

what I don't edit in my unofficial repository for current are the mentions
of the removed scripts in the REQUIRED variables in the *.info files of
what use these scripts as dependencies: that would be simply non
maintenable because simple version changes of these scripts would result in
a gazillion of conflicts in these git forks.

users of current should learn to ignore these non existant scripts warning
(and optionally refer to this list to check what has been removed and why
https://cgit.ponce.cc/slackbuilds/refs/heads), still like Gene pointed out
in the previous message

this to say that the repository you were using as default should already
had been probably ok and the "unable to locate" message were normal (I
don't think you ever had a repository for 15.0 setup in sbotools).

consider also that this mailing list is not actually the proper place to
help you in your eventual issues with current as the developer's version of
Slackware is not supported by SBo: if you find problems using this
unofficial repository for current or any of the SBo's scripts with current,
IMHO, the best option is to open a topic on LQ describing the issue and
your setup.

Matteo
