This is the initial release of sbotools3, the continuation of sbotools.

A debt of gratitude is owed to the original author, Jacob Pipkin, longtime maintainer Andreas Guldstrand and major contributor Luke Williams. This software would not exist without their efforts.

sbotools has gone without commits for a number of years. During this time, the default URL for release Slackware beyond 14.2 became unusable, and building compat32 and 32-bit packages on multilib systems stopped working for nearly all SBo SlackBuilds. Both of these issues have been fixed in sbotools3.

  • Bugfix: 15.0-compatible collection of default URLs
  • Bugfix: Build non-i486 compat32 packages
  • Bugfix: Build compat32 packages from template

Nonetheless, this repository was originally a simple fork adding a feature: Saving previously-used build options to be shown to the user when installing a SlackBuild again. In that spirit, the main focus of sbotools3 has been to implement new functionality, some of which was originally planned by @pink-mist.

  • Use a customizable git branch to clone the local repository
  • New git-based default URLs, with the option to use default rsync URLs instead
  • Optionally upgrade on build increments and report out-of-tree SlackBuilds
  • Save build options and offer to re-use them
  • Install bash completions to go with the existing zsh completions
