After about a month of intensive work, I've released a new version of PkgBuild. The code base has more than doubled and many handy features have been added.

Some of what it now does automatically tries to make packages conform better to a Slackware standard, so they may be sort of controversial. I hope so! That way I can get a consensus
on some things and change them if needed before reaching a 1.0 version.
I'd love to have any suggestions for improvement or 'idiot alerts' that are necessary. I wrote it so I always do the right thing with it. Some of you have more experience with idiots, or are one , may be able to find errors that I've missed.

I believe this to be the safest and smartest package maker yet for building Slackware packages, even though there are many areas that need improvement as I get there.

Features that you still miss have often already been in planning for awhile, but I welcome all suggestions, please.

You'll need installwatch to use it which you can get from here:

Here's the link for PkgBuild-0.9
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/...9-noarch-1.tgz

You sound very confident. Will check it out later to see how it works.

I had an e-mail a few days ago from a user who siad he found PkgBuild versy intuitive to use.
I hope you will try it and provide feedback.
I've kind of surprised myself with this, one to be honest.

I think I know the feeling. It's a feeling of accomplishment in your stomach and excitement all over because you were able to do something or learn something and you want to share it with the world.

Can't help but be amused a little:Good work. Good code. Keep it up.

But with that opening line, don't be surprised if Bill Gates knocks on your door and offers you a job.....lmao

Well, the code was just a bit over 500 lines for version-0.4. And it least now I can call some of them features and not 'features'.

You allude to the lines of code for Windows, seems I read that the code for just the NTFS stuff is over 10 million lines.

It was an attempt at humor.....

I'm still giggling a little.

Windows brags about "Bigger and Better", so I thought I'd allude to that for you...

But if your code gets to 10 million lines, I don't think I'd use it anymore.

And, like you, I appreciate real features, not bugs they call "features" because they can't get rid of them...lol
