Hey guys, I just upgraded sbopkg and now when I started it I got this:
Code:
ERROR
sbopkg: Unexpected value in MKDIR_PROMPT
The configuration variable MKDIR_PROMPT is expected to be set to either YES or NO
(case insensitive). Its current value instead is .
Please fix this error by setting the appropriate value in
/etc/sbopkg/sbopkg.conf and/or in ~/.sbopkg.conf
and restart sbopkg.
Here is my /etc/sbopkg/sbopkg.conf:
Code:
# $Id: sbopkg.conf.new 724 2009-09-25 09:17:23Z mauro.giachero $
#
# Please read the sbopkg.conf(5) man page for information about this
# configuration file, including an explanation of how to set these
# variables.
# The following are variables used by sbopkg. Any of these variables could
# be exported, if desired.
# Directory variables
REPO_ROOT=${REPO_ROOT:-/var/lib/sbopkg}
LOGDIR=${LOGDIR:-/var/log/sbopkg}
QUEUEDIR=${QUEUEDIR:-/var/lib/sbopkg/queues}
SRCDIR=${SRCDIR:-/var/cache/sbopkg}
SBOPKGTMP=${SBOPKGTMP:-/tmp/sbopkg}
# Non-directory variables:
REPO_NAME=${REPO_NAME:-SBo}
REPO_BRANCH=${REPO_BRANCH:-13.0}
KEEPLOG=YES
LOGFILE=$LOGDIR/sbopkg-build-log
DEBUG=0
CLEANUP=NO
# Set this to YES to allow multiple instances of sbopkg to run.
# Please read the sbopkg.conf(5) man page before doing so
# (otherwise, don't even think about submitting a problem report).
ALLOW_MULTI=NO
# The following variables are used by sbopkg and by the SlackBuild scripts
# themselves. They are exported for this reason.
export TMP=${TMP:-/tmp/SBo}
export OUTPUT=${OUTPUT:-/var/www/htdocs/pkgs}
# The following variables are required and can be tweaked if desired,
# although most users should leave them alone. Note: rsync already uses
# --archive, --delete, --no-owner, and --exclude in the main sbopkg script
# so there is no need to add those flags here. Similarly, wget already
# uses the -O options so there is no need to add that either. In general,
# it is not recommended that users change these default values.
RSYNCFLAGS="--verbose --timeout=10"
WGETFLAGS="--continue --progress=bar:force --timeout=15 --tries=5"
DIFF=${DIFF:-diff}
DIFFOPTS=${DIFFOPTS:--u}
You probably forgot to merge /etc/sbopkg/sbopkg.conf.new into the old one (or replace the old with the new, depending on how you like to do it). You should have revision 774 of sbopkg.conf. We probably should have a more sensible response to an unset value there, though. Thanks for the feedback.
And thank you, too, ponce and samac, for the good words.
