Subject: [sbopkg-users] Sbopkg 0.32.0 Released
Message-ID: <20100305222044.GA14717@localhost>

I am happy to announce that sbopkg version 0.32.0 has been released.  We
have been working steadily since the last release to fix bugs and add a
couple of new features.  There is one new addition to the sbopkg.conf
configuration file, so please check out the installed sbopkg.conf.new to
merge the change.

Here is the unedited ChangeLog:

  * Add several renames to 50-default renames file.
  * Add support for UNSUPPORTED/UNTESTED packages in the SBo repo; thanks to
    artourter for the bug report.
  * Honor the TAG exported by the user; thanks to Matteo Bernardini for the
    feature request.
  * Fix issue where delete sources in package info item menu did not work in
    some cases; thanks to artourter for the report, thanks to slakmagik for
    the hard work in fixing this and thanks to Mauro for the review and
    suggestions.
  * Add the ability to skip the prompts for sbopkg's directory creations via
    the new config file option MKDIR_PROMPT. This is useful, for example, if
    you have some SBo/sbopkg directories on a temporary filesystem and don't
    want to be bothered with repeated directory creation prompts. Thanks to
    agikhan for the report.
  * Address an issue where sbopkg could sometimes pick an older package to
    present for installation rather than the most recent one; thanks to
    artourter for the report.
  * Prevent sbopkg from spitting error messages when trying to determine the
    version of some packages (e.g. google-chrome, whose version is discovered
    looking into the source package which can be missing). Thanks to alkos333
    for the bug report.
  * Add ability to temporarily change $ARCH in the 'options' submenu.

Big thanks to all the sbopkg users who have pounded on this utility,
reported bugs, and suggested enhancements.  We hope you find this
software useful and these updates beneficial.

As always, a new package and source tarball are available for direct
download from the sbopkg project website:  http://www.sbopkg.org.
Please report any issues to the sbopkg mailing list or, preferably, to
the sbopkg Issue Tracker at the project's Google Code page.

Thanks once again to my cohorts, Mauro Giachero and slakmagik, for their
invaluable assistance.

Enjoy!

Thank you so much for all the work that you've done and continue to
do.  This tool has saved me a lot of time.

Hmm, works here with no issues...

maybe a caching issue?

Does it work for you from the Google Code site:

I'm trying to compile Clearlooks GTK engine as a 32-bit package, so
I'm passing the ARCH=i486 in sbopkg, but when I do that I  get the
following error:

Does the same thing happen when you export ARCH=i486 and run the
SlackBuild manually (outside of sbopkg)?

Then unless I'm misunderstanding something, it does not appear to be an
sbopkg issue.  Or do I need to be hit with the cluestick again?

Subject: [sbopkg-users] Installing slackbuilds after reinstall of slackware
Message-ID: <20100326080754.GA16460@lucan.localdomain>

Hi,
So i did a fresh reinstall of slackware 13. I have many slackbuild *.tgz
packages that I want to install again with sbopkg. At first I thought
I could move the SBo folder into /tmp and place all the *.tgz packages
in /tmp and all would be well. hehe... Anyway, do I need to make a
local repository to do this?  I don't want to run installpkg on these.
After I install the local packages I want to sync with slackbuilds.org
to keep everything up-to-date. I read the manpage and repos.d but
don't understand how sbopkg will find my pakages. 


Regards,
Donald Cooley

It should just work, but it's not clear from your email what is going
wrong.  Does sbopkg fail to work, or does it not see the installed
packages, do you get any error messages etc.  A bit more detail is
needed.  What is $OUTPUT set to in your sbopkg.conf?

As far as not running installpkg, that is all that sbopkg does, so I'm
not sure what you are saving.  Are these packages you built from
SlackBuild scripts from SBo?  Do they have the "_SBo" tag in the package
name?

        sbopkg runs fine. It just ignores everything in /tmp/SBo and
/tmp/*SBO.tgz.

>  What is $OUTPUT set to in your sbopkg.conf?

        $ cat /etc/sbopkg/sbopkg.conf | grep -i output
        export OUTPUT=${OUTPUT:-/tmp}

        I thought that if I installed with sbopkg then I would know
which pkgs were installed and when there were updates. I also have
several queue files to install pkgs in order to get dependencies.

I found the install option by searching for gc. It allowed me to
install that package. I guess I have to install each package one at a
time.

Hello Donald,

I'm merely a user of sbopkg, but I think I can help to clear up one
part of your dilemma:

> I thought that if I installed with sbopkg then I would know
> which pkgs were installed and when there were updates.

Sbopkg knows which "_SBo" packages are installed on your system simply
by parsing the list of all installed packages in /var/log/packages. In
other words, sbopkg doesn't maintain its own separate list or database
of installed SBo packages. This means that you can safely use
installpkg to install everything you placed in /tmp, and the next time
you fire up sbopkg and look at your list of installed SBo packages,
they will be there.

Now, to update your packages, you do need to have a recently synced
local repo. Sbopkg simply compares version numbers contained in the
repo with version numbers of SBo packages in /var/log/packages to
determine if updates are available.

I suppose to sum up: as Chess was hinting, it is perfectly acceptable
to cd to /tmp and run "installpkg *.tgz" ("upgradepkg --install-new
*.tgz" may be better if you happened to install some of them already).

Hope this makes some sense. :-)

Best regards,
Marc

That makes perfect sense. Thank you.

Thanks, Marc, for the excellent explanation!  :-)  Sorry if I was not
more clear, Donald -- I hope it's working ok for you now.
