SBo new additions

marav · 06-02-2023, 05:11 PM

Hi,

AFAIK we don't know when there are new additions on slackbuild.org
With the exception of Willy's commit every Saturday, where it's hard to find them.

I think a dedicated thread can be useful

So, I begin. My 2 new additions (hopefully on SBo tomorrow):

bzip3:
A better and stronger spiritual successor to BZip2

unrar-free:
free version of the non-free unrar utility

I agree I think this will be most helpful.

A week ago, I added spellcheck dictionaries for WPS office:
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/1...-office-dicts/

the script processes the dictionaries from the LibreOffice project. Then I though that others (not only Slackware users) may find these useful, so I put them on my GitHub:
https://github.com/slackalaxy/wps-office-dicts

maybe I'll make the SlackBuild just repackage this, since it's much easier...

PS: excellent idea for a thread

chrisretusn · 06-03-2023, 07:02 AM

I'd just like to mention there is an rss feed for SlackBuild.org

http://slackbuilds.org/rss/ChangeLog.rss

Tonus · 06-04-2023, 04:07 AM

I quite like these threads even if rss feeds exist. Here comments are available and in this particular one, useful parsing is done (only additions).

And I believe that, for an official forum, it shows Slackware activity. Maybe it would avoid us those threads asking if the distro is alive...

allend · 06-04-2023, 09:46 AM

I am at a loss trying to understand the logic of how a thread based on a repackaged feed from an officially endorsed but unofficial third party repository appearing in the official support forum is going to further the demonstration of the distro being alive.

I have the habit of reading LQ. I do not read RSS feeds. Also, here we can discuss the additions. It's as simple as that why I like the thread.

willysr · 06-04-2023, 08:51 PM

We also have website that contains the changelog on every update

Bouboulov · 06-09-2023, 02:05 PM

I sometimes do some little tricky stuff but wouldn't it be nice if there was like a « new xxx-tar.gz version » to make ? Like some watching, staying up-to date with some stuff (I think about python modules that get often updated). If there's a thread for it I'd like to know. As I said, I only take the previous SlackBuilds files and change them a little but I'm not so experienced to submit them and moreover to put my name on it. And instead of boring the mainteners with emails... well my two cents.

Aye!

system/pbzx is useful if you need to unpack a *.pkg, by Apple. It is used in tandem with xar, available at SBo.

This is a false positive, asymptote is there since 2016.

Indeed
The change is in fact an update with "Added missing files"

Thought I'd add a little more context about this one. python3-docker-compose is the last python version and last update for version 1.x.

Anyone familiar with Go want to add a new docker-compose slackbuild for version 2.x? It's a bit of a pain as it wants to download about 500mb during the build.

Otherwise the alienbob pkg for v2 is an option for those that want it.
