slackrepo_setup

Builds a personal Slackware SlackBuilds repository for slackrepo at /var/lib/sbopkg/SBo-danix, targeting slackware64-current.

The upstream SBo tree (Ponce/slackbuilds, branch current) is cloned, then two personal overlays are added as squashed git subtrees:

personal/ from my-slackbuilds
pentesting/ from Slackware-Pentesting-Suite

Any upstream package also carried in an overlay is shadowed (removed from the upstream tree), so the overlay version wins.

Files

slackrepo_setup_SBo-danix.sh: full rebuild. Wipes the repo, clones upstream, adds the subtrees, then runs sbshadow. Destructive: rm -rfs the repo on every run.
sbshadow: reconciles shadowing both ways. Shadows upstream packages now carried in an overlay, and restores (unshadows) upstream packages no longer carried, from the pristine current branch. Asks once before changing anything, commits, then runs mkhint -F to regenerate phantom-dep hintfiles.
sbpull.bash: sbpull {personal|pentesting} shell function. Pulls one overlay subtree and runs sbshadow, to carry overlay changes without a full rebuild. Source it from root's ~/.bashrc.

Install

install -m 755 slackrepo_setup_SBo-danix.sh sbshadow /usr/local/bin/
echo ". /path/to/sbpull.bash" >> ~/.bashrc

Optional: mkhint (mkhintfile repo) for phantom-dep hintfile regeneration. Without it, sbshadow prints a note and skips that step.

Usage

slackrepo_setup_SBo-danix.sh   # weekly full rebuild
sbpull personal                # pull overlay changes in between

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.
