It would definitely be possible to do that, but I'm not sure it makes sense as a feature, since sboui doesn't use queue files. What would be the intended use case? Are you just looking for something to replace the functionality of sqg, only faster?

Okay, well like I said, I don't think it really belongs as a feature for sboui. For one, because sboui doesn't use queue files, so it doesn't really make sense for it to generate them, and also because queue files are an sbopkg thing, and I don't want it to be focused on any specific package manager.

However, if it would be useful to you, I could post an unofficial patch that would allow sboui to generate queue files for the entire repo. Would you be interested in that? In the longer term, maybe it would be better to make a standalone sqg replacement using some of the sboui codebase, but I'm not going to promise that I will actually do that.

hi,un unofficial patch is certainly welcome

If it is a lot of effort on you part, i would say don't do it, personally i could live without this functionality.
I think of it as a nice-to-have

I have decided to give sboui a whirl. Spent a few hours using it to get familiar with it but didn't compile anything. Now I am using it on another desktop to compile filezilla and its dependencies. Nice! I like it a lot

I'll give it a try. I don't think it should be hard to do.

Thanks! Filezilla isn't one I've tested before, but I'm doing so now.

Great tool! I like the simplicity of the UI. Some things I noticed while testing:
  1. Changing the default editor from vi to vim does not persist after restarting. vi is still the default editor after changing this setting.
  2. Same as the above. Changing the repository directory setting does not persist. On my raspberry pi I use some non-standard paths in order to save files created to an external USB to lessen the amount of read/writes to the SD Card.

    Relevant sbopkg.conf paths:
    Code:
    export TMP=${TMP:-/usb/SBo}
    export OUTPUT=${OUTPUT:-/usb/sbopkg/packages}
    
    LOGFILE=${LOGFILE:-/usb/sbopkg/log/sbopkg-build-log}
    QUEUEDIR=${QUEUEDIR:-/usb/sbopkg/queues}
    REPO_ROOT=${REPO_ROOT:-/usb/sbopkg/repo-root}
    SRCDIR=${SRCDIR:-/usb/sbopkg/source}
  3. Using the w3m SlackBuild as an example. Unable to browse the patches directory. This is something that sbopkg doesn't include. It would be great feature to be able to review every file distributed with all SlackBuilds.
  4. Again with w3m: After removing/installing/upgrading a package from the options menu, hitting dismiss, and hitting escape to return to the main menu, the screen is refreshed, then the filter for grouped packages resets, and the menu highlight moves back to the top of the list. This can be a bit annoying if a user has a ton of SlackBuilds installed and is trying to remove a few but has to keep moving the cursor back to a desired group -> SlackBuild. The only time this isn't an issue for me is when I search for a specific SlackBuild by name.

Keep up the good work!

That's normal. Any settings that you want to persist should be set in /etc/sboui/sboui.conf or ~/.sboui.conf. The options window is just for temporary changes to settings during runtime.

I was wondering if someone would mention that. Generally, the files in the top-level directory are the ones that people would most likely want to view, so I restricted the file browser to only let you view those. I'll try to work on letting you descend into lower directories for the next version.

The reason I did that is because sometimes the lists change after installing/upgrading/removing/reinstalling. For example, if you have filtered by upgradable SlackBuilds, and you upgrade one, that one will no longer exist in the list after the operation. How would you like it to behave in such a case? Maybe after such an operation, it should check in the list to see if the previously highlighted item still exists, and if not jump back to the beginning (or maybe to the nearest one)? It sounds easy, but it becomes tricky especially if the category disappears from the filter after the changes are applied. Let me know how you think it should work, though.

(PS Ctrl-s will let you quickly jump back to wherever you want in the list.)

It depends on how the user is filtering. For unfiltered groups, it should jump back to the original Slackbuild since the list is so long. If its filtered by a specific Slackbuild name, then go back to the top. If filtered by installed, go back to the original Slackbuild. For upgradeable, go back to the top, since the list shouldn't show the SlackBuild in question any more.

I haven't played with any of the other filters yet so I am unable to say what the functionality for "tagged", "blacklisted", and "non-dependencies" should be.

Also, I just noticed you were wanting to remove a bunch of things at once. You might want to look into the tagging function (t or T). That's what it's designed for.

Ah, but what about if you are using the Installed filter and removing a SlackBuild. Then that list will change too. You see, it gets complicated. I think that maybe the best way to do it would be to highlight the same item by number in the list after doing an install/upgrade/reinstall/remove, unless the category disappeared. That way, either the same one will be highlighted (if the list stayed the same) or one next to it. I'll mess around with it, anyway.

Save it as genqueues.patch and put it in the SlackBuilds/system/sboui directory. Then, add this line in the sboui.SlackBuild:

Code:
find -L . \
 \( -perm 777 -o -perm 775 -o -perm 750 -o -perm 711 -o -perm 555 \
  -o -perm 511 \) -exec chmod 755 {} \; -o \

  -o -perm 440 -o -perm 400 \) -exec chmod 644 {} \;

# Patch to generate sbopkg-style build queues with Ctrl-g
patch -p0 < $CWD/genqueues.patch

mkdir -p build
cd build
  cmake \
    -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING="$SLKCFLAGS" \
    -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="$SLKCFLAGS" \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
  make
  make install DESTDIR=$PKG
cd ..
Now you can generate queue files for the entire repo with Ctrl-g. As a bonus, it runs in parallel.

Just a few caveats:
  • I have only verified this very briefly by comparing the vlc queuefile with the one written by sqg.
  • It does not add a comment for SlackBuilds with optional dependencies like sqg does.
  • The patch will probably fail when sboui is updated. As this is unsupported, it will be up to you to fix it when that happens.

It depends on how the user is filtering. For unfiltered groups, it should jump back to the original Slackbuild since the list is so long.

For upgradeable, go back to the top, since the list shouldn't show the SlackBuild in question any more.

I haven't played with any of the other filters yet so I am unable to say what the functionality for "tagged", "blacklisted", and "non-dependencies" should be.
I've made two changes in the development branch. One is to try to restore the original selection as closely as possible after installing, upgrading, etc. The other is to allow browsing and viewing files in subdirectories. They will go into the next release. Good suggestions, by the way!
