-<!-- Add your text below. We strongly advise to start with a Headline (see button bar above). --> +====== Building and Installing Packages with sbopkg ====== 
-====== Building & Installing Packages with sbopkg ====== + 
-\\ +[[https://sbopkg.org/|Sbopkg]] is a command-line and dialog-based tool to synchronize with the [[https://slackbuilds.org/|SlackBuilds.org]] ("SBo") repository, a collection of third-party SlackBuild scripts to build Slackware packages. The program has a curses based interface which lets you pick and assemble the programs which you want to compile from source into packages. It can also be used non-interactively in case you know beforehand what your goal is - in that case it is "fire and forget". 
 The following information will assist you in getting sbopkg installed, and running on Slackware. The following information will assist you in getting sbopkg installed, and running on Slackware.
  
-===== Download sbopkg: ===== +<note tip>Note that ''sbopkg'' builds //Slackware// packages. As with any Slackware package management program, you will have to be root to use the program! Execute <code>su -</code> to get a root command prompt with the correct environment configured.</note>
-\\  +
-1. Download sbopkg from:  +
  
-http://www.sbopkg.org/downloads.php\\  
-     
-     
-2. Read the sbopkg documentation, and also the man page for sbopkg. 
  
-http://www.sbopkg.org/docs.php\\ +===== Download sbopkg: ===== 
 + 
 +Download sbopkg from: https://www.sbopkg.org/downloads.php \\ You can get the sources and build a package yourself, or just grab th ready-made Slackware package. The following section of this article assumes that you downloaded the ready-built package.
  
  
 ===== Install sbopkg ===== ===== Install sbopkg =====
-\\  
-1. The file name of sbopkg when this page was generated was:  sbopkg-0.36.0-noarch-1_cng.tgz\\  
  
-The installpkg command was used to install sbopkg using the following commands:+  - Assuming that the ''sbopkg'' package file name you downloaded to the current directory is //sbopkg-0.38.0-noarch-1_wsr.tgz//, the ''installpkg'' command to install sbopkg (or upgrade it if it was already present on your system) is as follows: <code> 
 +$ su - 
 +# cd /path/to/downloaded/file/ 
 +# upgradepkg --install-new sbopkg-0.38.0-noarch-1_wsr.tgz 
 +</code>
  
-<code>su - +===== Configure sbopkg =====
-cd /path/to/downloaded/file/sbopkg-0.36.0-noarch-1_cng.tgz +
-installpkg sbopkg-0.36.0-noarch-1_cng.tgz</code>+
  
 +  - Read the ''sbopkg'' documentation! See https://www.sbopkg.org/docs.php , and also do not forget there is a man page for ''sbopkg''.
 +  - The first time ''sbopkg'' is executed, you will be asked if it is OK that the program creates the necessary configuration files: <code>
 +# sbopkg
  
-===== Configure sbopkg ===== +The following directories do not exist:
-\\  +
-The first time sbopkg is executed I was asked to Create the necessary configuration files.  I executed sbopkg with these commands:+
  
-<code>su - +Variable                   Assignment 
-sbopkg</code> +--------                   ---------- 
-\\  +REPO_{ROOT,NAME,BRANCH} -> /var/lib/sbopkg/,SBo/,14.2 
-The default install location is at /usr/sbin/sbopkg +LOGFILE directory -------> /var/log/sbopkg 
-\\ +QUEUEDIR ----------------> /var/lib/sbopkg/queues 
 +SRCDIR ------------------> /var/cache/sbopkg 
 +TMP ---------------------> /tmp/SBo
  
 +You can have sbopkg create them or, if these values are incorrect, you can
 +abort to edit your config files or pass different flags.
  
-There are several queue files that can be downloaded, and added to sbopkg to make your package installs easier.  These queue files +(C)reate or (A)bort?: 
-have all the dependencies\\  +</code>. Select <key>'C'</key> to create these required directories. \\ The program will then present its main screen: \\  
-included for the package being installed.\\ +{{:howtos:slackware_admin:sbopkg_start.png}} 
 +  - Your first task is to synchronize with the SlackBuilds.org repository - i.e. you let ''sbopkg'' create a local copy of all the SlackBuild entries on the remote server, for the Slackware release which you are running. You either use the first menu item in the curses-based main screen, or else you can do this from the commandline: <code> 
 +# sbopkg -r 
 +Syncing with the remote repository into /var/lib/sbopkg/SBo/14.2. 
 +receiving incremental file list
  
-The following URL has a listing of individual packages along with a tar.gz file of the complete index for Slackware 14.\\  +<long list of filenames...>
-http://gitorious.org/sbopkg-slackware-queues/sbopkg-slackware-queues/trees/sbo-14.0+
  
-I downloaded the complete index file named: sbopkg-slackware-queues-sbopkg-slackware-queues-sbo-14.0.tar +sent 451288 bytes  received 36904793 bytes  371702.30 bytes/sec 
-and extracted all of the *.sqf files.  I copied all of the *.sqf files\\  +total size is 35271012  speedup is 0.94
-to /var/lib/sbopkg/queues/ with the following commands: +
-<code>su - +
-cd /var/lib/sbopkg/queues +
-cp /home/user/path/to/downloads/sbopkg/sbopkg-slackware-queues-sbopkg-slackware-queues/*.sqf .</code> +
-\\  +
-Now any queue file (*.sqf) can be selected to install the package (with dependencies) you desire. +
-\\  +
-\\ +
  
-===== Example: ===== +Rsync with the SBo repository for Slackware 14.2 complete. 
-\\  + 
-As an example, I wanted to install Gramps.  Gramps has the following Dependencies, listed in order of install: +Importing SBo repository for Slackware 14.2 GPG Key... 
-<code>orbit2+Import done. 
 + 
 +***SYNC COMPLETE*** 
 +</code> 
 +  - You are now ready to select the packages you want ''sbopkg'' to build from source. 
 + 
 + 
 +===== Using Queuefiles with sbopkg ===== 
 + 
 +The ''sbopkg'' program itself allows a great deal of automation: the interactive curses interface helps you manage the burden of downloading source code archives, and allowing you to select multiple programs and then compile and package all of those in one go.\\ But you can automate this process even further, by using sqg - sbopkg queueu generator (included in main package since 0.38.0). 
 + 
 +sqg can generate queuefile for each or all packages in SBo repository:<code> 
 +sqg -p <filezilla> # this will only generate queue file for filezilla package only 
 +sqg -a # this will generate queue files for all packages in SBo repository 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +Note that everytime a public update is announced or new repository is available, it's recommended to run sqg -a to generate an updated queue files as deps may be added or removed. 
 +===== Example of Using sbopkg ===== 
 + 
 +As an example, let's install [[http://gramps-project.org/|Gramps]]. The queuefile for Gramps lists the following dependencies, in order of install: <code> 
 +orbit2
 pyorbit pyorbit
 libbonobo libbonobo
Line 66: Line 83:
 libgnome libgnome
 gnome-python gnome-python
-gramps</code>\\  +gramps 
-I loaded the gramps.sqf queue file in sbopkg, and gramps was successfully built, and installed in Slackware 14. +</code>
-\\  +
- +
  
 +Load the "''gramps.sqf''" queue file in sbopkg's curses interface, and Gramps will be successfully built on your Slackware 14.2 system and installed, along with all its dependencies.
  
-===== References for sbopkg =====+Alternatively you can use the less interactive command-line interface: <code> 
 +sbopkg -i gramps 
 +Both a queuefile and a package were found with the name "gramps".
  
 +Use (Q)ueuefile, (P)ackage, or (A)bort?: q
