Greetings, all. This release is ready to use with Slackware 14 and
includes a trio of new features, and a trio of modifications. Thanks to
everyone who helped. Congrats to Pat, et al., on the new Slackware.
sbopkg 0.36.0 (2012-10-04 03:05 UTC)
FEATURES
* This release of sbopkg is Slackware 14.0-ready. (Congrats to
all involved in the Slackware release.)
* Sbopkg now has a -d flag which can download without building
or installing, in addition to -b (download, build) and -i
(download, build, install). Thanks to Kristoffer Karlsson for
the feature request and some testing and to Mauro Giachero for
the initial patch and discussion and review of additional
patching.
* It is now possible to combine the -r flag with other flags
such that a sync is performed first. For example 'sbopkg -ri
foo' will synchronize with the repo and install the latest
foo.
* There is a new configuration option, NICE, which enables the
user to specify a niceness for the execution of the
SlackBuild. Previously, this was hardcoded to 10 (which is
still the default). Thanks to Joni Martikainen for the
suggestion.
MODIFICATIONS
* Specifying an alternate directory as repository root from the
command line, which was done with the -d flag, is now done
with the -D flag. Sorry for any inconvenience.
* The 'Build' option in a package's info menu has been renamed
to 'Process', along with many other minor informational
changes throughout the UI.
* The Slamd64 repo file has been removed as that project is
defunct.
