# sbo-dockerbuild
Docker-based toolchain for test-building SlackBuilds.org (SBo) packages on
Slackware, on both `-current` and `15.0`, without touching a real system.
Two tools that share the same set of images:
- **`test-build`** — verify a SlackBuild (the one you are editing, wherever it
lives) builds cleanly in a throwaway container. Resolves and builds its SBo
deps from a configured tree, caches built deps per image digest, lints the
target with `sbopkglint`, and reports per-package status.
- **`image-builder/`** — build the images `test-build` consumes
(`sbo-base` → `sbo-full` → `sbo-testbuild`, per Slackware version) from a
mirror of the Slackware package trees, pushed to a LAN registry.
This started as a helper under `.extras/` in the **sbo-slackbuilds** package
repository and was extracted here to be maintained on its own. See
[HISTORY.md](HISTORY.md) for the original development log.
## Layout
```
test-build the test-build tool
test-logic.sh pure-logic self-check for test-build (no docker)
test-build-config.example copy to ~/.config/sbo-testbuild/config and edit
overrides.example current-vs-stable dep overrides (optional)
image-builder/ the image-build scripts + their self-check
docs/specs, docs/plans design specs and implementation plans
```
## Install
Copy the `test-build` CLI into `~/bin` (on your `$PATH`):
```bash
./install.sh # -> ~/bin/test-build
BINDIR=/usr/local/bin ./install.sh
./install.sh --uninstall
```
It copies the file, so re-run after editing `test-build`. The `image-builder/`
scripts are not installed; they run on the docker host from their own checkout.
## Quick start
Test-build a package you are editing (from its dir, or by path):
```bash
cd some-slackbuild-dir && test-build <name> # -current
test-build --stable <name> # 15.0
test-build --keep <name> # also keep the built .txz
```
Build the images (on the docker host; see `image-builder/README`):
```bash
cd image-builder
./bootstrap.sh --version current --force
./build-full-image.sh --version current --force
./build-sbo-testbuild.sh --version current --force
```
## Requirements
- Docker with a reachable LAN registry for the built images.
- A local mirror of the Slackware package tree(s) for the image build, and a
checkout of the SBo tree(s) for dependency resolution.
- `sbo-maintainer-tools` (baked into the images for `sbopkglint`).
See the specs under `docs/specs/` for the full design.

## 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.
