Sbopkg is pretty much...

yaourt for Slack ?

it's what most of you turn to for stuff outside the main distro ?

For some applications, but most of the things I use can be downloaded from Alien Bob's repository,

http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/peo...n/slackbuilds/

Edit in: When I've had trouble building an SBo script, SlackOnly has been a good source of pre-built packages.

I lean pretty hard on Sbopkg but sometimes get software from other places

I dunno. Is yaourt some type of yogurt or something?

I'll look at slackbuilds.org first. If what I need isn't there, I'll use src2pkg to build what I need.

If you mean this or this, or something else... either way that is very confusing... what was the question?

Not sure about "most of us", but I turn to SBo first. If it is not there I try to make it using an SBo template. If that fails I probably don't need it anyway, but does not happen often.

I have looked at sbopkg but prefer to simply manage my own local repo with my own methods and built-in tools (vim, grep, sed, awk). I don't see much need for further automation.

When I need something sbopkg is my first try. I use AlienBob's repo for plasma (that I do not run as desktop, but for qt5 and very few softs), libreoffice and chromium. Others are build with my own slackbuilds (that I might submit to slackbuilds.org when I have time and is not freezed anymore).

SBo and Alien Bob's repo are the places I go if I need extra stuff.

paranoid_penguin · 07-09-2016, 10:40 AM

piece of cake to install packages on Slack !

installed flashplugin and vlc with no major issues ...

sbotools has replaced sbopkg for me.

sbopkg covers everything as long as sqg is used for queue files. With sqg I rarely need to worry about dependencies.

montagdude · 07-09-2016, 12:31 PM

I guess if SBo is equivalent to AUR, then sbopkg is equivalent to yaourt, sort of.

Personally, I use my own script that I created as a learning experience. It works with the git repository, and it can also handle non-SBo repositories that use a similar format (like my own personal one). Dependencies must be installed manually, though.

Same here.

I mirror SBo git master and skip all the ease of use stuff, for the most part, and run the scripts manually. That way I REALLY REALLY think about why I need that particular software, especially if it has a bunch of dependencies (I'm looking at you, inkscape). Usually, there already is something shipped with Slackware that is plenty good enough. It also keeps me from wasting a bunch of time installing stuff I might just use once or twice.

Very good point. I have over 100 slackbuilds installed (and growing) and updates can be very time consuming. I am sure other people have more slackbuilds installed than I do...

Code:

ls /var/log/packages/*SBo | wc -l

ls /var/log/packages/*wsr | wc -l
37

ls /var/log/packages/*msb | wc -l
65

ls /var/log/packages/*csb | wc -l
