@Ramurd-or put this line in /etc/fstab

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0

My fstab has this line in it:Do I modify this line or add the /tmp line below it? (sorry about the derail).

add

The number is a little misleading. I, unfortunately, have the SBo extension for packages that aren't in the slackbuilds repository.

Me too (they are slackbuilds that have not yet been submitted) and, unfortunately, I sent some corrupt data (two packages with wrong tag) when trying to remove them. Sorry bosth!

First, I am using exclusively Slackware from 1995 until today and more.

I am using frequently slackbuild for the add-on packages.
I cannot tell you exactly how, but I have many of SBo packages.
On my 64bits computer, around 8. On others, depending the
job done by those computer, some or many of them.

The scripts are very handy, I dont have much time doing such packages.
With slackbuild, I just let the script doing his job. It's very easy.

And don't forget to mention, it work!!!

Slackware is a great distrib. Slackbuild, the best add-on that we
can put into it.

Good Job to all of you.

Corrupt submissions are usually detected and removed during processing.


On the other hand, I didn't put in any checks that all packages are actually SlackBuilds and not just any old package with an SBo tag.

Well, you can easily fix that without modifying any scripts. All SBo scripts contain these lines:

which first look for environment variables and use default values if they're empty or don't exist. So you're able to do the following:

You can even export those variables in your .profile once and just forget them (though I'd be careful with TMP, it could be used by other programs).

Since Pat suggests we install all the Slackware packages during build, I do the same with SB.o!

(kidding - 93 submitted)

only 3 - what's the matter with me?

I have several packages tagged with SBo, but in reality I need some time to check dependencies and to do 'secretary' job before submittion and approval

In my list, I have two packages which are not on slackbuild.org (yet ?)
- tintii
- xmahjongg

I give them the same suffixe for use it in sbopkg

only 125 machines using Slackbuilds? it is hardly true. I believe the number must be 100 times more at least. Most people do not respond to this survey.
By the way, just look the site report for Slackbuild:

http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_rep...lackbuilds.org

site rank 27559 ! that is amazing when there are over 10.000.000 sites already.

I know both of those; and in fact I do clean up /tmp on a regular basis, just not automatically. Fact remains that I dislike the fact that SBo builds in /tmp; I prefer my own setup: $(cwd)/src, $(cwd)/pkg, $(cwd)/tgt (the latter only for those cases where it is not allowed to build in the source directory); in $(cwd) I have the source-tarball, slackbuild script, slac-desc and whatever else is needed to create the package. The slackbuild-script I have a template for as well, that uses functions, rather than a long sequence of commands. Which allows me to do partial (re)builds and makes it easier to reuse pre-defined code. Works like a charm for me ;-)
