Yep, that works too.

Maybe I'm wrong. The latest sboui tries to replace alien packages with their SBo counterparts. It lists them as upgradable.

Please take a look at /etc/sboui/package_blacklist. Also, if you were to allow it to upgrade those packages, it should give you a warning first.

By the way, I committed a couple changes to master. One takes care of the flickering in tmux, and the other gets rid of the editor setting and instead uses the PAGER environment variable for the View READMEs function and the VISUAL or EDITOR environment variable for the Browse files function. It would be cool if people wanted to test that stuff out before I tag the next release. I still have to look into the sshfs stuff and a couple other things before then.

Sounds great!

I believe I have gotten it working for repos mounted via sshfs. It's working here, at least. I pushed the changes to the master branch on GitHub:

https://github.com/montagdude/sboui

If possible, it would be helpful if you could test it and make sure it is working for you too. I will probably make a release of version 1.1 next week.

For the technically inclined, the reason it didn't work previously is because sshfs doesn't set the d_type member of dirent, so everything in sshfs directories was coming in as DT_UNKNOWN and being ignored. The fix was to go back and use stat() on anything with a DT_UNKNOWN dirent type. It's possible this may also fix issues with other filesystems that I have not tried.

I'll give it a test drive tomorrow and report back. Thanks for the update.

I downloaded a copy of the master branch, rebuilt/installed both libconfig and sboui. I'm able to use sshfs to access my central SBo 14.2 repo with both sboui & sbopkg which was my desired config. Your fix appears to work!

Excellent. Thanks for testing it!

This tool works very nicely, thanks. Would it be useful to run a clear screen when using the "Browse files" option as now the output seems to be cluttered with previous output?

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you post a screenshot?

This seems to only happen when I run sboui with sudo. This does not happen when I run it as root so this might be set to OK.

I don't normally use sudo, but I just tried it and I still don't see anything unusual. I would like to try to fix the issue, but you really haven't given me much information to go on.

Here is the screenshot.

Use your Q key to exit the README and you will be good to go.

EDIT - Assuming you use vi as I do to read the README's when you use sudo sboui and you browse files you have to exit with ZZ
