Hi<br>
<br>
sbopkg is designed to run originally to run the script from the repo, so local<br>
edit is not possible, but later on, we have added a local edit features, which<br>
is not available in CLI mode. You need to run it on TUI mode by running sbopkg<br>
as root without any option.<br>
<br>
Select Search > Custom. You can edit .info or .SlackBuild locally there<br>
<br>
