slackbuilds.org submissions are open.
 

As title says the submission page for SBo is now open for all of us who maintain slackbuilds.

slackbuilds.org submissions are open.
 

submitted mine

Do the majority of former maintainers remember what is that?

I have one slackbuild which I submitted because I use the program a lot and it was an orphaned project. I ran it in Slackware-15 a couple of days ago and it built successfully. I doubt if there will ever be any updates provided for it.

It's a must for new script, so they will remember it
For updates, they usually goes through git directly (if they were given access) or via github PR / gitlab MR

Pending submissions:

@willysr

I would like to raise a particular case

for swapinzram, since it is just a rc script with config files
there is no tar.gz as a "source" file
but it is a prerequisite for submissions (as well as md5sum)
But, the source is the tar.gz itself, which makes that the md5 can never match since it is generated after the compression

hoping biker-rat submits his sway packages!

You can look at perf script
it uses dummy source since the source is already on the kernel source
another option is to host the tarball somewhere public and you can compute the checksums

ok , thanks

So, can you delete my submission for swapinzram ?

slack-desc files
 

I'm preparing to submit a couple of SlackBuilds, but before I do, I want to make sure all my ducks are in a row...

I seem to be having some trouble with my slack-desc files. Roughly half of my built packages don't display the slack-desc when installing. I've examined these slack-desc files thoroughly and cannot see why some of them don't work. In fact, I have at least one slack-desc (xorg-server-legacy119) that I copied directly from Pat's source, and even that one fails to display the description when installing:For example, the 14.2 SlackBuild I submitted for zseal needed the slack-desc to be fixed:
https://git.slackbuilds.org/slackbui...5622119b3122ef

I'm sure it's probably some small thing that I'm overlooking, but I can't--for the life of me--see what the problem is!

If anyone could provide some insight on this, I would be sincerely grateful. :)

JayByrd, I've seen the missing package description thing when the package names in slack-desc don't match. Trailing spaces don't seem to make a difference, for what it's worth.

From what I see, it's just a removal of the 1 space after the url and one of the empty line

i updated sway slackbuild to 1.7 , wlroots to 0.15 , and libseat to 0.6.4 , it would be important that al least wlroots is version 0.15, because new version of river, dwl and other programs that use wlroots depend on wlroots 0.15.
if biker rat dont subbmit a updated version i can submit mine.

edit:
mistake of mine sway 1.7 need meson 0.60+ and older version of sway will do
and slackware 15 use 0.59.4

I've got pretty much all my new ones submitted, but I just realized that I didn't change /bin/sh to /bin/bash on a few. I don't know If I should remove my submission or let it go through at hope the admins catch it and fix it for me. It's only on 3 of the packages I submitted and it doesn't break anything. The three packages are
