SBOTOOLS

DaBrze · 03-19-2022, 01:27 AM

Hi,

I recently noticed that sbotools does not properly recognize Slackware 15.0. As a result, when this version is defined in sbtools.conf, the current git repository is still used. Before a developer releases a new version of sbotools, the correct repo must be directly defined in the sbotools.conf file instead of the version number. As a temporary solution, I created a small patch for sbotools SlackBuild to overcome this problem.

Code:

Have you considered opening an issue for this or doing a PR at https://github.com/pink-mist/sbotools?

I wasn’t aware that sbotools was having this issue but I’ve actually been adding the url from the Slackware.uk mirror for Slackware 15 directly into sbotools.conf, just in case of problems. It’s been a while since the last release and there doesn’t appear to have been much activity on the git page of sbotools.

It would be good if sbotools gets some maintenance, but as OTB mentioned another way of fixing this is to set REPO in /etc/sbotools/sbotools.conf
For example:

Code:

REPO=https://gitlab.com/SlackBuilds.org/slackbuilds.git

or whichever mirror you like to use.
