[Slackbuilds-users] creating a Slackbuild for Hearts

[Eugen Wissner]

Hello,

that all sounds fine. Software maintainers and developers use all sort
of different ways to build and package their software and package
maintainers have to handle it. Their programs on SBo that provide
uppercase binaries - it wouldn't be the first one. Since it is desktop
software, you may want to write a .desktop file yourself and put it
together with the slackbuild in a separate file - you will find a lot
of examples in SBo that are doing exactly that.

Best regards
Eugen
