^ This, I would be happy to test and try to find fixes if there is a list.
I asked for it two times on the SBo list, no answer. Maybe it's just not that efficient, confusing or not manageable if many
maintainers rush into fixing scripts, doing parallel work on same scripts, realize that at the end and being frustrated.
Just a guess.
People on 15.0 should definitely be using master. That's where all the updates from the various admins and maintainers get added to initially, then ponce will pull those updates into his "-current" repo. So it will always be lagging behind SBo's master repo.
(with sbopkg 0.38.2) So I should rather be using 'master'?
Master is what will eventually become (and stay) 15.0. ponce's "-current" repo lags behind master until he updates it to match what was added in master.
Perfect being the enemy of good, I, for one, would rather see the current master blessed and published for 15.0 with fixes gradually added back as they happened rather than wait.
Also, on another subject, the advertised sbopkg 0.38.2 is not in fact published anywhere other than deep forum posts.
In the current situation a user not deeply familiar with Slackware cannot benefit from SBo.
I'll post-face this with my sincere and undying love for SBo and the hard work of its maintainers which I support wholeheartedly.
