# sb-builder
Desktop GUI for managing a Slackware SlackBuilds build VM from one place. It
runs slackrepo builds, overlay syncs (sbpull, sbshadow), hintfile work
(mkhint) and SBo orphan discovery on the VM over ssh, as background jobs that
keep running when the GUI disconnects and can be reattached later. A
dashboard shows VM and repository state, and the GUI can start the VM through
libvirt when it is off.
Work in progress. See `docs/superpowers/specs/` for the design.
## Requirements
- Desktop: Python 3, PyQt6, ssh access to the VM, optionally `virsh`
- VM: Python 3.11 or newer, the slackrepo_setup and mkhint tools

## Development Approach
This project is developed using AI-assisted tools. Code is generated with the help of AI based on human-provided specifications, design decisions, and iterative feedback.
All contributions are reviewed, tested, and curated by the maintainer before being included in the codebase. AI is used as a productivity and exploration tool, while human oversight remains central to all decisions.
The goal is to combine the flexibility of AI-assisted development with standard open-source practices such as transparency, review, and accountability.
