No new +packages are developed here. Its job is the ongoing upkeep of packages already +on SBo: + +1. Track upstream version changes (via nvchecker). +2. Reflect a new upstream version in the package's `.SlackBuild` / `.info`. +3. Test-build with the `test-build` tool (see below). +4. Generate the SBo submission tarball to upload. + +New-package development happens in **other** repos, not here: + +- `../GITHUB/my-slackbuilds/` — regular packages, plus SBo packages whose + upstream moves faster than SBo review (worked ahead of the SBo copy). +- `../GITHUB/Slackware-Pentesting-Suite/` — cybersecurity packages. + +When a new package is uploaded to SBo and approved, it **moves here** and this +repo takes over its maintenance. + +--- + +## Repo Structure + +Packages live under their SBo category, mirroring the layout of the SBo repo +itself (`<category>/<package-name>/`): + +``` +<category>/<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 +└── [...] # other optional files +``` + +The category is not recorded anywhere else: the directory *is* the category. +It is authoritative in the synced SBo tree, so to find where a package +belongs: + +```bash +find /var/lib/sbopkg/SBo-stable -maxdepth 2 -mindepth 2 -type d -name '<pkg>' +``` + +Current categories: `misc` (SecLists, exploitdb, nuclei), `games` +(UrbanTerror), `network` (feroxbuster, ffuf, gobuster, +metasploit-framework-bin, r8125). + +Matching SBo's layout means a package directory exports to the SBo repo at +the identical relative path, with no mapping step. Both git hooks locate a +build by walking up to the directory holding the `.SlackBuild`, so neither +asserts a fixed depth. + +Version tracking is handled by a single file: + +``` +.extras/nvchecker.toml # nvchecker config listing all packages +``` + +### `.extras/` holds all non-package repo files + +Anything that is not a SlackBuild package must live under `.extras/`, never at +the repo root. Currently: `nvchecker.toml` (version tracking), `hooks/` (git +hooks), `assets/`. + +--- + +## Build Strategies + +Packages fall into several categories; the SlackBuild style differs +accordingly. + +### Source builds (Go) + +Packages such as `ffuf`, `gobuster`, `nuclei` are built from upstream source +tarballs using `go build`. Key points: + +- Set `GOPATH`, `GOPROXY`, `GOFLAGS` before building +- Use `-buildmode=pie -trimpath -mod=readonly -modcacherw` +- Strip ELF binaries after build +- Clean up `$GOPATH` / Go module cache before packaging +- `REQUIRES="google-go-lang"` in the `.info` file + +### Source builds (Rust) + +Packages such as `feroxbuster` build from a vendored crates tarball +(`<pkg>-<version>-vendor.tar.gz`) declared as a second source in `.info`, +alongside the upstream tarball. The SlackBuild unpacks it, points cargo at it +via `.cargo/config.toml`, and builds fully offline (`cargo build --offline +--locked`). The vendor tarball is generated once per version with +`cargo-vendor-filterer`, with `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` pinned to the release tag's +commit date for a byte-for-byte reproducible archive. The exact command is +recorded in the package's own `README`. + +### Binary repacks — Debian `.deb` + +Packages such as `metasploit-framework-bin` are repacked from upstream `.deb` +archives (SBo convention: `.deb`/binary repacks take a `-bin` suffix): + +- Extract with: `ar p <file>.deb data.tar.gz | tar xzv` +- Set `DOWNLOAD="UNSUPPORTED"` and use `DOWNLOAD_x86_64` / `MD5SUM_x86_64` + (plus the i386 pair when the package is multi-arch) +- Strip ELF binaries after extraction + +#### `metasploit-framework-bin`: msfvenom bash-completion + +The shipped `msfvenom.bash-completion` is a **pre-generated snapshot**, not a +static file. Upstream (kali) no longer ships it; they generate it at build +time with a ruby script that loads the framework and dumps the live +payload/encoder/arch/platform/format lists. We ship a snapshot instead of +running ruby at build time (hermetic build, no build-time dep). + +**Regenerate it on every version bump.** No host install needed: `test-build +--keep` produces a `.txz`; extract it to a scratchpad dir and run the +generator against the *extracted* framework's bundled ruby. This avoids `sudo +installpkg` and is fully in the agent's hands. + +**The `GEM_HOME`/`GEM_PATH`/`BUNDLE_GEMFILE` vars below are mandatory.** The +embedded ruby has `/opt/metasploit-framework` baked in as its prefix, so +bundler resolves gem paths there no matter where the tree was extracted, and +the run dies with: + +``` +Could not find metasploit-payloads-X, rex-socket-X, ... in locally installed +gems (Bundler::GemNotFound) +``` + +Pointing the gem vars at the extracted tree fixes it. Note `3.4.0` in that +path is the embedded **ruby version** and moves when upstream bumps ruby; +check `$FW/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/` if the path is wrong. + +```bash +KEPT=/data/sbo-test-build/kept/metasploit-framework-bin-$VERSION-x86_64-*.tgz +tar xf $KEPT -C $SCRATCH/msf-extract +FW=$SCRATCH/msf-extract/opt/metasploit-framework +curl -o $SCRATCH/gen.rb \ + https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/metasploit-framework/-/raw/kali/master/debian/generate-msfvenom-bash-completion.rb +cd $FW/embedded/framework +GEM_HOME=$FW/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0 \ +GEM_PATH=$FW/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0 \ +BUNDLE_GEMFILE=$FW/embedded/framework/Gemfile \ +$FW/embedded/bin/ruby \ + -I$FW/embedded/framework/lib $SCRATCH/gen.rb \ + > network/metasploit-framework-bin/msfvenom.bash-completion +``` + +**Do not fall back to running the generator against a live +`/opt/metasploit-framework`.** Without the gem vars the extracted-tree run +only appears to work when a host install happens to sit at that path, and it +then reads the *installed* version, silently emitting completion data for +whatever is on the host rather than the version being packaged. That is how +the 2026-07-30 "byte-identical, no host install needed" claim was reached; it +was actually reading a host install. Corrected 2026-08-07 during the 6.5.1 +bump, where the host `/opt` still held 6.4.147. + +Verify the output is non-empty and the `%s` slots were filled (grep for real +payload names like `windows/meterpreter`), then commit it with the bump. + +#### `metasploit-framework-bin`: man pages + +The .deb ships **no** metasploit man pages (its `share/man` tree is only for +bundled deps like postgres/ruby). We ship `msfconsole.1` and `msfvenom.1` +from kali, who maintain them by hand (no generator script). The SlackBuild +gzips them into `/usr/man/man1`. **Refresh them on version bumps** in case +kali has updated them: + +```bash +for p in msfconsole msfvenom ; do + curl -o network/metasploit-framework-bin/$p.1 \ + https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/metasploit-framework/-/raw/kali/master/debian/extra/$p.1 +done +``` + +For metasploit bumps, `PRGNAM=metasploit-framework-bin` with +`SRCNAM=metasploit-framework` drives the `.deb` glob and `/opt` path; pull +both-arch filenames and MD5s from the apt Packages indexes (`binary-amd64` +and `binary-i386`). + +### Data / archive packages + +Packages such as `SecLists`, `exploitdb` install data files rather than +compiled binaries. No stripping needed. + +--- + +## Test-building + +Because these packages are already published on SBo, the build here is a +**verification step** on a version bump, not development. It runs in a throwaway +Slackware container via the **`test-build`** tool, which lives in its own repo, +`../sbo-dockerbuild` (installed to `~/bin/test-build`). Being hermetic and +disposable, **the agent may run it directly** (unlike a real `slackrepo build` on +the buildsystem VM). + +Workflow for a bump: edit the `.SlackBuild`/`.info`, then verify on **both** +trees (these are all SBo-published packages, so both are mandatory): + +```bash +test-build <pkg> # -current +test-build --stable <pkg> # 15.0 +``` + +`test-build` resolves the target from the local dir (CWD or a path) and its deps +from the configured SBo tree, builds in a `--rm` container, and lints with +`sbopkglint`. Use `--keep` to copy the built `.txz` out (e.g. a binary repack +like `metasploit-framework-bin` whose post-install artifacts are regenerated by +extracting the kept `.txz` and running the generator against it, no host +install, but see the gem-path gotcha in the msfvenom bash-completion section +above). See `../sbo-dockerbuild` for the full tool and its image-builder +chain. + +The one artifact worth keeping from a clean bump is the **SBo submission +tarball** (`SBo/<pkg>.tar.gz`), produced by the `post-commit` hook — that is +what gets uploaded to SlackBuilds.org. + +--- + +## SlackBuild Scripting Guidelines + +### Templates (local clone) + +A clone of the SBo templates lives at `~/Templates/SlackBuilds/sbo/` (refreshed +by `~/Templates/SlackBuilds/update-templates.sh`). **Start from the matching +file there** rather than from memory: + +- Per-build-type SlackBuilds: `autotools-`, `cmake-`, `meson-`, `python-`, + `perl-`, `rubygem-`, `haskell-template.SlackBuild`. +- Shared support files: `slack-desc`, `template.info`, `doinst.sh`, + `douninst.sh`. + +The [online SBo template](https://slackbuilds.org/templates/) remains the +authority; the local clone mirrors it. Refresh the clone if it looks stale +before relying on it. + +### General + +- Follow the SBo template (local clone above) as the base for all scripts +- Use `set -e` to abort on errors +- Honor `$TMP`, `$BUILD`, `$TAG`, `$OUTPUT` variables; default values must be set if unset +- Use `$ARCH` detection with proper `SLKCFLAGS` and `LIBDIRSUFFIX` +- Strip binaries and libraries unless upstream explicitly discourages it +- Install docs to `/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION/` +- Always include `find -L` + `chown`/`chmod` cleanup block before packaging +- Copy repo files into `$PKG` with `cat src > dest`, never `cp`. `cat` writes + through a fresh destination so the build's umask/root ownership sets the + perms; `cp` bleeds the git working-tree mode/ownership into the package. + Applies to `slack-desc`, `doinst.sh`, and any file staged from `$CWD` + (SlackBuild, README, `.nvchecker`) into `$PKG`. +- Use `makepkg -l y -c n` to create the final package + +### `.info` file + +Must contain: +``` +PRGNAM, VERSION, HOMEPAGE, DOWNLOAD, MD5SUM (or SHA256SUM), REQUIRES, MAINTAINER, EMAIL +``` +- Checksums must match the exact source archive +- MAINTAINER/EMAIL are danix's, since this repo is his SBo-official packages +- Use `REQUIRES=""` if no SBo dependencies; list space-separated SBo package names otherwise + +### `slack-desc` + +- Exactly 11 lines in the `package-name: description` format +- First line: `package-name: package-name (short one-liner)` +- Lines 2–11: description, leave blank lines as `package-name:` +- Handy ruler line must be included (but not shipped) + +--- + +## Version Tracking: nvchecker + +A single `.extras/nvchecker.toml` tracks upstream versions for all packages. + +To check for new upstream versions: + +```bash +nvchecker -c .extras/nvchecker.toml +``` + +When a new version is detected, update `VERSION` in both `.SlackBuild` and +`.info`, then run `sbofixinfo` to refresh checksums. + +**Every package added to this repo must have a corresponding entry in +`.extras/nvchecker.toml`.** + +For **nvchecker** github stanzas prefer `use_latest_release` (hits +`releases/latest`, lenient) over `use_max_tag` (hits `git/refs/tags`, tightly +rate-limited and 403s under the shared anon budget); use `use_max_tag` only for +repos that tag but don't cut Releases (a `use_latest_release` probe 404s on +those). Probe ONE stanza with `nvchecker -c <cfg> -e <name>`. + +--- + +## Tooling: sbo-maintainer-tools + +Source: https://slackware.uk/~urchlay/repos/sbo-maintainer-tools + +| Tool | Purpose | +|------|---------| +| `sbolint` | Lint `.SlackBuild`, `README`, `.info`, `slack-desc` | +| `sbopkglint` | Lint the built package | +| `sbofixinfo` | Auto-fix common `.info` file issues | +| `sbodl` | Download sources and verify `MD5SUM`/`SHA256SUM` from `.info` | + +### Git hook setup + +Both hooks are tracked in `.extras/hooks/`.

Remove them before staging; they must never be committed. Run it from +the repo root so no package is missed: + +```bash +find . -type l -print -delete +``` + +The `pre-commit` hook also strips staged symlinks to source archives and blocks +staged *real* archives, but do not rely on that as the only guard. + +### File modes: 0644 + +SBo requires 0644 for files and 0755 for directories, and the upload form +rejects otherwise. Git tracks the exec bit, so a `.SlackBuild` that was ever +`chmod +x` carries 0755 into the repo. `sbolint` catches it +(`must have mode 0644, not 0755`), which is one reason the pre-commit hook has +to actually run. To fix, both on disk and in the index: + +```bash +chmod 644 <category>/<pkg>/<file> +git add --chmod=-x <category>/<pkg>/<file> +``` + +Audit the whole repo (`.extras/hooks/` at 0755 is correct, those are hooks): + +```bash +git ls-files --stage | awk '$1!="100644" && $4 !~ /^\.extras/ {print $1, $4}' +``` + +--- + +## Who builds SlackBuilds + +The agent authors/edits the sources (`.SlackBuild`, `.info`, `README`, +`slack-desc`, `doinst.sh`, nvchecker stanzas) and runs the non-building checks +(`sbolint`, `sbodl`, `sbofixinfo`). + +**The one exception in this repo** is the throwaway-docker test-build via the +`test-build` tool (see [Test-building](#test-building)): it is hermetic and +disposable, so the agent may run it to verify a bump, including `sbopkglint` on +the throwaway package it produces. + +Everything else stays with the user: never run or offer a **real**, persistent +build — `slackrepo build`, or `bash <pkg>.SlackBuild` / `sudo bash ...` on the +host (as opposed to inside the throwaway container). Those install to the +user's system or the buildsystem VM; the user runs them and reports back. + +--- + +## Delivery: getting a bump to SBo + +Two channels reach SlackBuilds.org. Everything up to the local commit is +identical for both; only the final step differs. + +### Channel 1: GitHub pull request (preferred for updates) + +Per SBo's own workflow doc (`https://slackbuilds.org/SBo-Github-Workflows.txt`). +Applies to **updates of already-published packages**, which is all this repo +holds. New submissions still go through the upload form, not a PR. + +The fork is a **separate clone**, not a remote of this repo, the two trees +have unrelated histories: + +``` +~/Programming/GIT/GITHUB/slackbuilds # fork of SlackBuildsOrg/slackbuilds + origin -> github:danixland/slackbuilds.git + upstream -> https://github.com/SlackBuildsOrg/slackbuilds.git + user.name = danix (local override, matches .info MAINTAINER) +``` + +To recreate it (the clone is ~265MB, and `.git/config` is not tracked, so a +fresh clone silently loses the name override and commits revert to the global +`Danilo M.`): + +```bash +gh repo fork SlackBuildsOrg/slackbuilds --clone=false +git clone github:danixland/slackbuilds.git ~/Programming/GIT/GITHUB/slackbuilds +cd ~/Programming/GIT/GITHUB/slackbuilds +git remote add upstream https://github.com/SlackBuildsOrg/slackbuilds.git +git config --local user.name danix # email + GPG signing come from global +``` + +Identity must satisfy three things, all verifiable on a pushed commit with +`gh api repos/SlackBuildsOrg/slackbuilds/pulls/<n>/commits`: the author email +matches `.info` EMAIL, the email is verified on the `danixland` account (so +`.author.login` is set, not null), and the GPG key is uploaded there (so +`.commit.verification.verified` is true). All three held as of 2026-08-08. + +Because this repo mirrors SBo's `<category>/<package>/` layout, a package +directory copies across at the identical relative path, no mapping needed: + +```bash +cd ~/Programming/GIT/GITHUB/slackbuilds +git fetch upstream +git checkout -B <package> upstream/master +rsync -a --delete ~/Programming/GIT/sbo-slackbuilds/<category>/<package>/ <category>/<package>/ +git add <category>/<package> +git commit -m "<category>/<package>: Updated for version <VERSION>." +git push -f origin <package> +gh pr create --repo SlackBuildsOrg/slackbuilds --base master +``` + +Notes: + +- **One PR per package**, one commit per PR. Local history here can be as + fine-grained as you like; the PR commit is synthesized at export time, so + the two histories deliberately diverge. +- **Commit subject uses SBo's wording**, not this repo's: + `<category>/<package>: Updated for version X.Y.Z.` (past tense, trailing + period). Repo-level commits here (AGENTS.md, hooks) keep no prefix and are + never exported. +- **Base the PR on `master`.** Merged PRs display a base of `github`, a + transient integration branch SBo admins retarget onto and then delete. Open + PRs target `master`; that is what you branch from and PR against. +- Reviewer feedback is addressed by amending and force-pushing the single + commit, per the doc. Local history here needn't mirror that amendment. + +### Channel 2: submission tarball (fallback) + +The `post-commit` hook builds `SBo/<package>.tar.gz` when a `.SlackBuild` +changes and `SBO_ARCHIVE=yes` is set. The archive is named after the package +with the **package** directory at its root (not the category), as the upload +form expects. `SBo/` is gitignored, the tarball is a local artifact. + +Use this when a PR would be slower than the form, or as a fallback if a PR +stalls. + +--- + +## SBo Submission Guidelines + +Before submitting or updating a package on SlackBuilds.org: + +1. **Pass all lint checks** — `sbolint` and `sbopkglint` must report no errors +2. **Test the build** on a clean Slackware installation (or VM snapshot) +3. **Verify checksums** via `sbodl` before committing +4. **Check `README`** includes all non-SBo dependencies and any special build notes +5. **Follow the SBo submission guidelines**: https://slackbuilds.org/guidelines/ +6. **Bump `VERSION`** in both `.SlackBuild` and `.info` when updating +7. **Run `sbofixinfo`** after every version bump to catch stale checksums/URLs + +--- + +## Commit Conventions + +Local commits in this repo: + +- One commit per package add/update +- Commit message format: `<package-name>: add version X.Y.Z` or `<package-name>: update to X.Y.Z` +- For fixes: `<package-name>: fix <short description>` +- Repo-level changes (AGENTS.md, hooks, nvchecker config) take no package + prefix and are never exported + +The **exported PR commit uses SBo's wording instead**, generated from the path +and `.info` VERSION at export time: `<category>/<package>: Updated for version +X.Y.Z.` See [Delivery](#delivery-getting-a-bump-to-sbo). The two histories are +independent by design, so local commits need not adopt SBo's format. + +--- + +## Maintainer + +danix |
