sbo-slackbuilds

SlackBuild scripts maintained by danix and submitted to SlackBuilds.org (SBo).

Primarily targeting Slackware64-current.

This repository holds only the packages for which danix is the official SBo maintainer. Experimental and lead packages not (yet) on SBo under danix live in the separate my-slackbuilds repository.

Repository Structure

Each package lives in its own top-level subfolder:

<package-name>/
├── <package-name>.SlackBuild   # Main build script
├── <package-name>.info         # Metadata (version, checksums, URLs)
├── README                      # Description and usage notes
├── slack-desc                  # Package description (11-line format)
└── <package-name>.desktop      # (optional) Desktop entry for GUI apps

Building a package

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/danixland/sbo-slackbuilds.git
cd sbo-slackbuilds

# Fix any .info issues automatically
cd <package-name> && sbofixinfo

# Download the source and verify checksums
cd <package-name> && sbodl

# Lint the script and metadata
cd <package-name> && sbolint

# Build the package
cd <package-name> && sudo bash <package-name>.SlackBuild

# Install the resulting package
installpkg /tmp/<package-name>-*.t?z

Check each package's README for dependencies and any special build instructions.

Git Hooks

Two hooks are included in .extras/hooks/. Install them after cloning:

cp .extras/hooks/pre-commit .git/hooks/pre-commit
cp .extras/hooks/post-commit .git/hooks/post-commit
chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit .git/hooks/post-commit

Hook	Purpose
`pre-commit`	Runs `sbolint` on staged packages before each commit. Also guards against staged source archives: symlinks are auto-removed silently, real archive files block the commit and list the offenders.
`post-commit`	After each commit, offers to create a `SBo/<pkg>.tar.gz` archive ready for submission to SlackBuilds.org

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.
