Hi

sbopkg is designed to run originally to run the script from the repo, so local
edit is not possible, but later on, we have added a local edit features, which
is not available in CLI mode. You need to run it on TUI mode by running sbopkg
as root without any option.

Select Search > Custom. You can edit .info or .SlackBuild locally there
