linuxtinker · 01-28-2017, 11:37 AM

Can someone tell me where I might find a script to build a SLACKBUILDS.TXT file. I am trying to set up a local respsitory of slackbuilds for current.

Thanks

A simple one, from George Vlahavas:

A full-featured one, from Eric Hameleers:

Alien Bob has a excellent script that will generate all the files like in a hosted repo; Changelog, checksums, filelist, etc.

gen_repos_files.sh

Located here: http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/tools/

(Didier beat me to it

)

I'm using Eric's gen_repos_files.sh script to generate my repository metadata.

thanks for those suggestions but those two scripts generate a fileslist.txt. I am trying to build a SLACKBIULDS.TXT file. My local repo is just storing the .sbo files, an example of what i am looking for is at https://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/...LACKBUILDS.TXT

Thanks for the help

Just write up a quick script for it.

Code:

for i in */*; do
  NAME=$(echo $i | cut -d "/" -f2)
  FILES=$(ls $i)
  source $i/${NAME}.info
  SHORTDES=$(grep -m 1 $NAME $i/slack-desc | cut -d " " -f2-)
  echo SLACKBUILD NAME: $NAME
  echo SLACKBUILD LOCATION: $i
  echo SLACKBUILD FILES: $FILES
  echo SLACKBUILD VERSION: $VERSION
  echo SLACKBUILD DOWNLOAD: $DOWNLOAD
  echo SLACKBUILD DOWNLOAD_x86_64: $DOWNLOAD_x86_64
  echo SLACKBUILD MD5SUM: $MD5SUM
  echo SLACKBUILD MD5SUM_x86_64: $MD5SUM_x86_64
  echo SLACKBUILD REQUIRES: $REQUIRES
  echo SLACKBUILD SHORT DESCRIPTION: $SHORTDES
  echo
done

This will output everything to the shell... you can just redirect it to a file.

sbo-txt-gen.sh > SLACKBUILDS.TXT

Thanks! bassmadrigal I guess I have to bite the bullet and start learning bash..

I only had to change one line to make it work :

Code:

echo SLACKBUILD LOCATION: "./"$i

Thanks everyone for you help. If I make any more changes to the script ill post here..
