MODIFICATIONS * Do not use wildcard for GPG checking (Fix #19) sbopkg 0.38.0 (2016-07-01 17:12 UTC) FEATURES * Add --no-group to rsync so files are owned by root:root Patch by pyllyukko * Updated es translations (Dhaby Xiloj) * Moved sqg to /usr/sbin * Added support for Slackware 14.2. * Update queue sample files sbopkg-0.37.1 (2015-10-27 03:02:59 UTC) FEATURES * Add --visit-items option in certain part of dialog to help disabled people * Added SBo master branch repo (git) MODIFICATIONS * Move PIDFILE to global variable * Update copyright * Transitions from code.google.com to github.com * Remove SVN-stuff * Fix sqg branch to 14.1 by default. sbopkg 0.37.0 (2013-12-09 15:10 UTC) FEATURES * This release of sbopkg is Slackware 14.1-ready. Congrats to the entire Slackware team for another great release! * Sbopkg now has a -B flag which will allow the user to process the queue from the command line in 'bulk' without confirmation first. MODIFICATIONS * No other modifications have been made. 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. sbopkg 0.35.0 (2011-04-28 02:48 UTC) FEATURES * This release of sbopkg is Slackware 13.37-ready. (Congrats to all involved in the Slackware release.) * The READMEs of all installed packages can now be read from the main menu's list/uninstall item. (Selection state will also now be remembered.) Thanks to dmotaleite for the RFE. * Similarly, the -R and -p flags can now be combined to page through the READMEs of all installed packages. * Added ponce's repo (SBo variant for -current) to the default repos. Thanks to Mauro for suggesting this about a year ago. Note that this is unsupported (if a build from this repo breaks in sbopkg you get to keep both pieces) but people seem pleased with this repo and it'll save a step for new users. Note that the default repo files have been reordered, as well. 50-sb64 is now 70, 60-local is now 50, and the new one is 60. This puts the unsupported repos last. If by chance you have a file with those names already in there, upgrading sbopkg will clobber them. See each of the two following sections for more repo-related modifications and bugfixing. * Added a bash completion file for sbopkg. This is independent of the bash-completion package. It can be found in the new doc/contrib directory. Source the file (in your shell startup files if you want it always on automatically) from its current location or wherever you wish to copy it and you should be able to complete some of sbopkg's flags and their arguments. Also see the KNOWN_ISSUES file. Thanks to Sergey V. for this contribution. MODIFICATIONS * Updated French man pages. Thanks to Marie-Claude Collilieux. * Revised documentation: moved the queuefiles directory into a new contrib directory, renamed the README-*.d documents, stripping the '.d'. Clarified/updated the dialog nav/certcheck sections of KNOWN_ISSUES, brought the missing 0.27.0 and 0.33.1 branch changes from their ChangeLogs into NEWS, added a block in README describing all the plain text documents, added a note about making corrections to THANKS, a couple of TODO items, etc. * Note also that symlinks are now made from README-repos and README-renames to READMEs in the corresponding /etc/sbopkg/*.d directories. NOTE that renames files must now end in .renames so, if you have custom files in renames.d, you'll need to rename them. * The 'Choose a repository' dialog widget is now titled 'Repository Selection' and the widget text was revised. Also, the menu itself used to say 'BRANCH (REPO) DESCRIPTION' and now says 'REPO (BRANCH) DESCRIPTION'. The relevant item in the Utilities menu that shows which repo/branch you're on and takes you to the Repository Selection widget was similarly re-ordered. * When a repository directory does not exist, sbopkg now displays, e.g. REPO_{ROOT,NAME,BRANCH} -> /var/lib/sbopkg/,SBo/,13.1 or, in the case of git repos which don't currently have BRANCH directories, it just shows REPO_{ROOT,NAME}. It used to display REPO_ROOT -----------> /var/lib/sbopkg/ While the new line may be odd looking, it should be clear enough that it means REPO_ROOT is /var/lib/sbopkg/, REPO_NAME is SBo/ and REPO_BRANCH is 13.1 and that these are path components and that the path is missing. Before, it would say /var/lib/sbopkg/ didn't exist if, e.g., 13.1 was missing even when /var/lib/sbopkg/ did exist. BUGFIXES * Fixed an issue where URL redirects and SSL certificate check failures could combine to cause a download failure. Thanks to vbatts for raising this issue. * Fixed a documentation bug where the ability to keep a ~/.sbopkg.conf file to override the system config file (since 0.25.0) wasn't documented anywhere other than this file. It's now in both manuals. Thanks to Bill Kirkpatrick for raising this issue. * Fixed an issue where 'Invert all' in file removal dialogs didn't 'invert' but turned everything on or off, regardless of selection state. If it was really intended to be 'Select/Deselect all', then changing the button to "Invert Sel" and making it do that was a feature/modification instead of a bugfix. ;) * Fixed an issue were the user could switch repos, receive a directory creation prompt, abort it, and the active repo would be switched anyway, despite the directory not being created. Now, the original repo is restored as the active one. * Fixed a bug in a previous bugfix that would still let sbopkg download source files whose DOWNLOAD value ended in '/download' even when the source files were cached. * Fixed a depth-restriction bug triggered when an app directory's subdirectory has the same name as another app directory, causing sbopkg to match things or try to use things like openvswitch/xen/foo when xen/foo is intended. Thanks to David Somero for reporting this. sbopkg 0.34.1 (2011-02-05 04:20 UTC) FEATURES * Added Spanish translations of the man pages. Much thanks to Pablo Castano Fernandez for doing these translations. MODIFICATIONS * Revision of documentation. Major reformatting and some textual modifications of /usr/doc/sbopkg-*/* including breaking out the credits in the script into a detailed THANKS file, renaming and reformatting ChangeLog.txt into NEWS, renaming the sample queuefiles from *.sqf to *.sqf.sample, and making lesser modifications to all the other docs. BUGFIXES * Fixed issue where MKDIR_PROMPT was being ignored. Thanks to catkin for raising this issue. * Fixed issue where -o would wrongly produce no output. Thanks to ArTourter for raising this issue and to Mauro Giachero for the patch. * Fixed issue where TAG would sometimes not appear in the final package. Thanks to chytraeus for raising this issue. * A revision which fixed a failure to properly initialize directories when running under bash 3x was committed but didn't make it into the released package. It is included in this release. Also fixed a problem with a blank line being wrongly displayed in the directory initialization output in older bashes. Thanks to greinze for pointing the latter out. * Fixed documentation bug where the obsolete SBOPKGTMP and current TMPDIR variables weren't correctly documented. Thanks to dive for raising this issue. * Fixed non-documentation bug where TMPDIR wasn't being correctly assigned when set in sbopkg.conf. Thanks to Ken Roberts for reporting the issue and providing a preliminary fix. sbopkg 0.34.0 (2010-11-12 03:37 UTC) * Revised man pages - these are very different and now document a couple of previously undocumented things and are worth a (re-)read. Thanks to Marie-Claude Collilieux for the French translations of these. * The HACKING file now includes a man page style guide in addition to the coding style guide. * The LOGDIR variable has been removed from sbopkg.conf - DIR can be specified in LOGFILE. * The DEBUG variable has been renamed to DEBUG_UPDATES in sbopkg.conf. * The default timeout values in {WGET,RSYNC}FLAGS have been raised from 10/15 to 30 in sbopkg.conf. * All parameters in sbopkg.conf now use default values only if the variable hasn't been previously set (meaning they can all be overridden by passing variables on the command line). * sbopkg.conf has been reordered - this may make any merging that may be needed more interesting this time but hopefully it's worth it. * The directory initialization process has been changed - at first run or otherwise when encountering missing directories, the user will now be presented with a single list of them and a (C)reate/(A)bort prompt. * The command line user interface has been overhauled in terms of more consistent validated command line messages and prompts. * Fix an ARCH display issue in the updates screen; thanks to alkos333, Marc Payne, and David Spencer for confirming the issue and thanks to David Spencer for testing the fix. * Fixed bugs with dzen2 and *zarafa* not downloading/building properly. Note that, while the changes fix these issues and should make it easier to handle similar problems in the future, this change may introduce regressions. If a download or build fails due to a downloaded tarball looking something like 'blah?actual_tarball.tar.gz' or the like, please report it to us. * Fixed bugs with the '-s' option where only the first of multiple arguments would be returned and where the command line select menu was broken. Also where it and the -g flag might inadvertently expand globs wrongly. * It's now possible to specify the b,g,i,s flags multiple times. Previously multiple arguments to these flags had to be quoted (-b "foo bar") but now they can be given as '-b foo -b bar'. The original style is still supported. * With the new style of passing multiple arguments, it is now possible to specify app-specific options on the command line. These take the form of, e.g., '-i app1:opt1="foo bar":opt2=baz app2:opt=mu'. If that's cryptic, see the manual for details. * Users now have the option of interactively retrying a failed https download, invoking wget with '--no-check-certificate', as this can be caused by 'self-signed certificates' and the like. sbopkg 0.33.2 (2010-07-20 02:10 UTC) * fix security issue involving unsafe creation of temp{dir,file} sbopkg 0.33.1 (2010-05-27 18:13 UTC) * The ARCH assignment was modified to accord with the latest SBo SlackBuild template. * Tweaked widgets in select_repository() (no or less scrolling) and load_user_queue() (better button) and modified check_gpg() to not disrupt the dialog interface with gpg output * Revised the KNOWN_ISSUES file and other documentation sbopkg 0.33.0 (2010-05-24 20:53 UTC) * Addressed an apparent bash 4.1 bug that causes the 'obsolete sources' function to break. * Addressed issue 44 where hitting ^C during the download of part of a queue and restarting the queue could result in a download failure. Thanks to slava18 for the report. * Changed the menu order of the "Build options" dialog to default to using "Saved" options rather than "None". * Fixed issue 45 where packages with '+' in the name were not properly detected in some cases. Thanks to skalkoto for the report. * Added a help item to the main menu of the dialog interface with pointers to documentation and other resources. * Added an option to print the version of sbopkg. We try not to change the meaning of flags but note that this does change what was the '-v' flag to '-V' and now uses '-v' for its customary 'version' purpose. Note that the new -V flag now accepts a '?' argument (sbopkg -V ?) which will display the list of valid repositories. * Tweak the logic re determining ARCH and modify some ARCH-related evals and conditionals in check_for_updates and info_item. * Fixed a bug which could result in some sources being missed when checking for obsolete sources. * Added a command line option '-P' to access the 'remove uninstalled packages' function which had previously only been accessible from the dialog interface. * Miscellaneous tweaks in preparation for release and to bring in line with Slackware 13.1. sbopkg 0.32.0 (2010-03-05 21:29 UTC) * 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. sbopkg 0.31.0 (2009-11-01 02:54 UTC) * Fix typo in 50-default renames file. * Fix the "Uncheck installed" feature. The code apparently worked fine even without the fix. Spotted by slakmagik. * Add $ARCH information in dialog backtitles. * Add ":force" to sbopkg.conf WGETFLAGS --progress=bar to correctly display the wget progress bar; thanks to happyslacker for nudging me on this issue again. * Fix an issue with the build options dialog menu where selecting 'None' would not work; thanks to happyslacker for the bug report. * Add the ability to uninstall SBo packages from the dialog interface that lists installed packages. Thanks to pokipoki08 for the suggestion. * Fix an incompatibility regarding the way bash 3.1, 3.2, and 4.0 handle the RHS of [[ commands using the =~ operator which broke the repo file validation, among other things. Thanks to SiegeX, Zmyrgel, and BCarey for the reports and suggestions. * Add the ability to run multiple sbopkg instances simultaneously. This has been suggested many times in the past. Users should read the sbopkg.conf man page before using this option (which is disabled by default). * Be more strict validating YES/NO configuration variables. * Add a KNOWN_ISSUES file - if you encounter a bug, check this file before reporting it to see if it's known and if there's a workaround. * Modify sspm to be root-only and change the default checkout location. In case it isn't obvious, this means the checkout will be root-owned if it isn't already. * Fix cosmetic bug where ARCH and BUILD were not displaying correctly in list of updates on x86_64. * Add a dialog and cli option to show all READMEs for the queued packages. This can come handy to do "final checks" on the active queue before starting the build process. * Reworked the options selection menu to avoid seeing only a truncated set of the actual options; thanks to Erik Hanson for the bug report. * Work around build issues caused by custom LC_COLLATE values. * Add tint=tint2 to /etc/sbopkg/renames.d/50-default file. * Prevent an infinite download loop by modifying get_source() and check_source(); make sure that we do try to guess about the file name in a DOWNLOAD/filename mismatch but only when we absolutely have to, by modifying get_source_names(). Thanks to godling for noticing the problem. * The 'check for updates' function now always lists apparent downgrades, since it sometimes can mistakenly classify an upgrade as a downgrade (e.g. version 1.0.1 looks older than 1.0-rc2 to sbopkg). The apparent downgrades are added to the queue but are disabled by default. sbopkg 0.30.1 (2009-08-28 17:34 UTC) * Fix the updates code for the 13.0 repo; thanks to everybody who contacted us about this issue. * Fix the $SBOPKGTMP sanity check. Thanks to Ken Roberts for raising the issue. * Update the renames file. sbopkg 0.30.0 (2009-08-24 17:28 UTC) * Move sbopkg to /usr/sbin; update sbopkg.SlackBuild and sspm to reflect /usr/sbin. * Change default directory paths in sbopkg.conf.new; add new variable SBOPKGTMP, which will be used to store sbopkg-related temp files; also add new variable LOGDIR which will contain any sbopkg-related log files. * Remove code related to user-mode support; sbopkg must now be run as root in all cases; add single check at start of script to make sure we are root. * Apply a major code cleanup that touches just about every part of sbopkg. This cleanup makes the code more readable, manageable, and less bug-prone. Several bugs were fixed as part of this cleanup, and the cleanup will ease further development and debugging efforts. * Remove some useless code from check_for_latest and also fix the download folder for sbopkg updates. Thanks to David Somero for the bug report. * Re-implement the code that checks for renamed software; fix upgrading of renamed packages; thanks to Phillip Warner for raising the issues with the older code; thanks to Mauro Giachero for working on these fixes. * Fix a tr invocation issue where in certain instances, sbopkg would not run from certain directories; thanks to Marie-Claude Collilieux for the bug report. * Alter sed expression in download code to work around calcurse filename idiosyncrasy; thanks to Glenn Becker for the bug report. * Move French man pages into correct /usr/man/fr* location and remove them from the /docs directory; update French man pages; thanks to Marie-Claude Collilieux. * Remove a stale 'find' call, which slightly improves the update feature. * Add acroread->adobe-reader, GNOME-Colors->gnome-colors, wbxml2->libwbxml and museek-plus->museek+ renames. * Display a message when no packages are installed instead of doing nothing. * Properly quote the current working directory variable in the event there are spaces in the directory name. * Fix a bug where 'sbopkg -c -v local' would display a dialog even though running in cli mode. * Fix issue where the 'games' directory was non-browsable due to a slack-desc file containing double-quotes in the first line; thanks to Glenn Becker for the original bug report. * Implement configurable repository support by introducing a new /etc/sbopkg/repos.d directory where separate repositories files can be maintained and also by adding support for git-based repositories. The Slamd64Builds repository is now listed, to the joy of all the Slamd64 users out there. Add a new document README-repos.d that explains how these repository files work. * 'Nice' the build process so as to improve sbopkg's resource utilization. * Fix a few issues regarding user sbopkg.conf files. * Move sbopkg-renames to new /etc/sbopkg/renames.d/50-default to manage multiple renames files. Thanks to Robby Workman for the suggestion. Add new document README-renames.d that explains how this works. * Add support for new *.txz, *.tlz, and *.tbz Slackware package extensions. * Rewrite several portions of the process_queue function in order to properly handle certain items by the caller; clean up and improve the logging displayed during the build process. * Require build queuefiles have a '.sqf' file extension. * Add a sanity check for files in sbopkg's temp directory. * Cleanup several of the functions related to editing the .info and SlackBuild files to remove code duplication; also cleanup and fix issues associated with the two primary search functions, and improve file cleanup for these search-related functions. * Fix issue where MD5SUM checking would fail when certain upstream packages do not change source file name on version updates by adding in an extra check for existing sources. Additionally, add an option to retry a source download in the event of an MD5SUM failure to avoid having to restart a build. Thanks to David Spencer for raising these issues and thanks to Mauro Giachero for the fixes and improvements. * Create a ChangeLog.txt for git repos on the fly. * Remove usage of ARCH in preparation for Slackware64 support. * Remove obsolete load_backup_queue. * Improve and fix some issues with the search functions and leaking variables. * Change queuefile format. No longer will the queuefile format be 'APP VERSION ON/OFF' but instead will simply be one 'APP' per line. If a user wants an APP to be deselected in the dialog menus, simply put a '-' in front of it, e.g. '-APP'. This should make creating, using, and sharing queuefiles much easier and more intuitive. * Add ability to load more than one queuefile at a time when building from command line interface. * The info_item dialog now shows non-SBo installed packages and gained a more robust approach to finding both the installed package names and the available packages in $OUTPUT. * Add ability to dump all installed packages into a build queue. This is an alphabetical list, so shuffling/reordering of the queue will be necessary in order to list the dependencies correctly, but at least this will give users a head start on setting up a large build queue. * The process of searching for obsolete source archives can now be interrupted with ESC. * Add several new functions related to checking GPG-signed tarballs, such as those that SlackBuilds.org provides. Sbopkg will now automatically check these tarballs when building or installing a package. Additionally, there are two new menu items in info_item that allow the user to check the GPG signature or re-extract the GPG-signed tarball. * Add ability to have recursive queuefiles, so one queuefile named "foo.sqf" may have an entry "@bar" in which case as the foo.sqf queuefile is parsed, it will recursively go down into the 'bar.sqf' queuefile as well. The '@' symbol is used in front of an entry in a queuefile to denote another queuefile. * Remove the old "$APP $VERSION$BUILD $ONOFF" format for the temporary queue and instead make all queue formats "$APP" only. This simplifies some code and results in a small speed increase. * Exit edit_build_queue menu with 'ESC'; thanks to Nille for the bug report. * Modify do_install() to correctly invoke upgradepkg to avoid a fairly rare but serious case of removing the wrong package; thanks to NaCl for the bug report. * Add ability to pass build options in a queuefile when separated by a pipe character, i.e. app | FOO=yes BAR=no means app will be built with FOO and BAR build options set as indicated. * Fix rare issue where incorrect file was upgraded; thanks to neonflux for the bug report. * Fix issue where custom build options may not be correctly exported. * Add a 'diff' entry to the script customization menu. * Add in 'uname -m' test for x86_64 and if so, set ARCH to x86_64. * Set default SBo repo to 13.0; add 13.0 repo to /etc/sbopkg/repos.d/40-sbo.repo. * Add support for multiple architectures and multiple source files. This makes sbopkg able to handle the new features that SlackBuilds.org admins are preparing for the Slackware 13.0 release. * Add option to retry a failed build. Thanks to Zordrak for suggesting this feature. * Add CLEANUP configuration variable, which when set to YES tells sbopkg to delete the extracted sources, and all the associated "residuals" of the build, as soon as the build is finished. Thanks to Marco Bonetti and Gregory Tourte for the suggestion and the nice discussion. * Add a function to delete obsolete (not installed) packages from $OUTPUT. Thanks to alkos333 for the idea. * Reorganize the queue editing functions a bit for a better user interface; 'view queue' now only shows the queue; new 'sort' and 'remove' queue menu items now handle the editing functions; thanks to Pierre Cazenave for the suggestion. * Add dialog notification of whether a queued package is installed. * Add a dialog option to automatically uncheck installed packages from the active queue, together with a command line option -k that automatically skips such packages when building with -b or -i. * Add ability to 'invert' all selected/deselected in the clear cache and obsolete sources and packages dialogs; thanks to dive for the suggestion. sbopkg 0.27.4 (2009-06-24 16:13 UTC) * Fix rare issue where incorrect file was upgraded; thanks to neonflux for the bug report. * Fix issue where custom build options may not be correctly exported. * Improve cleanup after building or installing a package. sbopkg 0.27.3 (2009-06-15 00:51 UTC) * Add museek-plus->museek+ to sbopkg-renames.new. * Modify the source fetching code to check the md5sum also of cached sources, to fix problems arising with those programs whose source archive doesn't change name on version updates. Thanks to David Spencer for raising the issue. * Exit edit_build_queue menu with 'ESC'; thanks to Nille for the bug report. * Modify do_install() to correctly invoke upgradepkg to avoid a fairly rare but serious case of removing the wrong package; thanks to NaCl for the bug report. sbopkg 0.27.2 (2009-04-30 14:36 UTC) * Remove a stale 'find' call, which slightly improves the update feature. * Add acroread->adobe-reader and GNOME-Colors->gnome-colors to sbopkg-renames.new. * Display a message when no packages are installed instead of doing nothing. * Properly quote the current working directory variable in the event there are spaces in the directory name. * Fix a bug where 'sbopkg -c -v local' would display a dialog even though running in cli mode. * Fix issue where the 'games' directory was non-browsable due to a slack-desc file containing double-quotes in the first line; thanks to Glenn Becker for the original bug report. sbopkg 0.27.1 (2009-04-07 13:32 UTC) * Remove some useless code from check_for_latest and also fix the download folder for sbopkg updates. Thanks to David Somero for the bug report. * Re-implement the code that checks for renamed software; fix upgrading of renamed packages; thanks to Phillip Warner for raising the issues with the older code; add wbxml2->libwbxml to sbopkg-renames; thanks to Mauro Giachero for working on these fixes. * Fix a tr invocation issue where in certain instances, sbopkg would not run from certain directories; thanks to Marie-Claude Collilieux for the bug report. * Alter sed expression in download code to work around calcurse filename idiosyncrasy; thanks to Glenn Becker for the bug report. * Move French man pages into correct /usr/man/fr* location and remove them from the /docs directory; update French man pages; thanks to Marie-Claude Collilieux. * Fix a problem with the Pre-Check Log dialog being non-scrollable and having a visual glitch. Thanks to Erik Hanson for the bug report. * Remove a problem where the "Using the queuefile QUEUEFILE" messages could be incorrect. * Fix a possible infinite loop when building in CLI mode. * Fix an issue with an ncurses check and the cleanup() function. sbopkg 0.27.0 (2009-02-26 14:48 UTC) * Commit a patch that adds a new sbopkg.conf configuration variable, QUEUEDIR, where users can define where saved queues are stored; also, when the user wants to load a saved queue, show a list of available saved queues; thanks to slakmagik for the patch. * Add ability to search for keywords in the README files using regular expressions; this new 'string search' can also be narrowed to only search installed packages; thanks to slakmagik for the original patch and implementation and thanks to both slakmagik and Mauro Giachero for cleaning it up and addressing minor issues before the commit. * Commit a cleanup/misc patch from slakmagik that removes some useless code and fixes some style issues; thanks to slakmagik for the patch. * Allow user to interrupt/abort the update progressbar by pressing ESC; thanks to Mauro Giachero for the feature. * Assorted menu navigation fixes, and document -p switch in sbopkg(8) man page; thanks to Mauro Giachero for these improvements. * Add ability to view a diff of an edited .info or SlackBuild file before choosing which one to use; this feature adds two configuration variables to the sbopkg.conf file: DIFF and DIFFOPTS; thanks to Phillip Warner for the suggestion and thanks to Mauro Giachero for helping debug/improve my original implemenation. * Add ability to view more files in each application's folder, i.e. doinst.sh, or *.desktop files; thanks to Phillip Warner for the suggestion and thanks to slakmagik for the patch implementing this feature. * Rework the check for root:root permissions when installing packages; now, if the package does not have root:root permissions, sbopkg will display the output of ls -l and ask if the user wishes to install or abort, rather than only aborting. * Allow the usage of the -d, -f and -v command-line options in dialog mode, and output an error message when the command line contains unrecognized tokens. * Move the -q option to -g (general search) in order to make way for -q, 'quiet mode' where the output of some of the command line options (i.e. the command line progressbar) can be minimized. More quieting will likely occur in future releases. Thanks to alkos333 for the feature request. * Implement a workaround so that the dialog interface now works better with GNU Screen and rxvt-based terminals. Thanks to Phillip Warner for raising the issue and thanks to Mauro Giachero for working on the implementation. * Include a French translation of the two sbopkg man pages. For now, these man pages will be included in the /doc directory until I have time to figure out whether they can be automatically installed in place of the English ones depending on a locale setting. In any event, I would like to extend my thanks to Marie-Claude Collilieux for providing this first translation for sbopkg. I am sure folks will appreciate the work she put into it. If anyone else wants to follow her lead and provide some other translations, I would be happy to include them. Thanks Marie-Claude! * Add in several patches from slakmagik that lets the user choose from saved queues, modifies how the saved queues and backup queues work, and modifies several other queue-related functions and menus. Many thanks to slakmagik for his continually excellent contributions. * Implement an 'autoqueue' by allowing the user to specify queue names to '-b' and '-i' and by adding a -e option whereby the user can specify what to do on errors (stop, ask, or continue). Thanks to Alan Hicks for suggesting this feature and thanks to Mauro Giachero for the implementation. sbopkg 0.26.2 (2009-01-30 23:03 UTC) * Fix regression where packages could not be installed in certain instances. Thanks to artourter for the bug report. sbopkg 0.26.1 (2009-01-30 04:21 UTC) * Implement some security fixes, namely, customize the output of some of the menus so only things that can be done as root (i.e. build, install, process the queue) are seen by the root user; also add a check to make sure only root can install packages and that packages are correctly set with root:root permissions. Thanks to Phillip Warner for the report and suggestions. * Modify SLACKVER in sbopkg.conf so it can be passed at runtime to sbopkg. Thanks to TSquaredF for the suggestion. * Quiet down the number of messages displayed when updated items are added to the queue; thanks to Phillip Warner for the suggestion. * Fix issue where sometimes duplicate items would appear in the search results dialog; thanks to Phillip Warner for the suggestion. sbopkg 0.26.0 (2009-01-29 14:41 UTC) * Add in new update code by Mauro Giachero. This /greatly/ improves how the updates are handled and virtually eliminates the need for specific application quirks. Please note there is a new file /etc/sbopkg/sbopkg-renames that handles a few name changes. If you upgrade sbopkg with the new package, then this file will be automatically installed. If not, you'll need to grab this file from the source tarball and move it there manually. Many thanks to Mauro for the hard work in finally getting the update code done right. :-) * Change how selecting/unselecting items in the build queue are handled. Now, when items are unselected, they remain in the queue but are turned "OFF" and when the queue is processed, only those packages turned "ON" will be built or installed. * Improve how packages are added to the queue. The user is now prompted if they want to replace items already in the queue or skip them. This may be helpful if a user has saved a queue with lots of dependencies that are then updated through the rsync process. The updates can be added to the queue, replacing the old versions. * Add in a nice progress gauge when running the update list rather than the warning message. Thanks to alkos333 for the idea and initial implementation, and thanks to Mauro Giachero for working on the CLI version. * Merge in a large whitespace/cleanup patch by slakmagik which greatly improves the readability of the code; thanks to slakmagik for the patch. * Replace the 'Clear Queue' menu item with 'Delete Queue Items' which provides the user the ability to delete individual items in the queue or clear the entire build queue. * Add in ability to have a /local directory in the local SBo repository tree on a user's system that is in parallel with other SBo directories (i.e. /home/sbo/local). As long as this directory is maintained in an SBo style (including user-defined categories), then sbopkg will pick them up and the user can change their SLACKVER to 'local' and build/install packages from there. This might be useful in testing pre-submissions to SBo or for maintaining other software not in SBo. This was inspired by a similar idea contributed by slakmagik. Please see the sbopkg.conf(5) man page for more information. * Commit a patch from slakmagik that adds a new sbopkg.conf variable LOGFILE where the user can decide the name and location of the permanent build log, if used; thanks to slakmagik for the patch. * Improve the configuration file handling so that sbopkg now runs even with a missing or deficient system-wide configuration file, as long as the user's ~/.sbopkg.conf file is present and fills the gaps. * Fix issue where downloaded sources with spaces in their file names would cause an MD5SUM failure; thanks to alkos333 for the bug report, and thanks to Mauro Giachero for improving my initial bug fix implementation. * Commit several other patches from slakmagik that improve the handling of the search box upon search failures; tweak the precheck log a bit; improve the checking of root privilegs, and improve the handling of the directory-creation checks; thanks to slakmagik for these patches. * Fix issue where a failed download would still go through an md5sum check; now it informs the user of the failed download and asks if the user wishes to continue with the build queue or abort. * Eliminate some redundant or annoying messages to the user, such as when the backup queue is saved. * Add 'sspm' utility script by slakmagik which makes mirroring the sbopkg SVN repository and making a package from the local SVN mirror very easy; this script is located in the /tools directory in the sbopkg SVN repository; thanks to slakmagik for the script. * Fix issue where ARCH would sometimes not get picked up in info_item menu (notably for OpenOffice.org); thanks to artourter for the bug report, and thanks to Mauro for the fix. * Lots of other internal 'under the hood' improvements to the repository browsing, directory check functionality, build queue, and just general overall code cleanup. sbopkg 0.25.0 (2009-01-17 02:15 UTC) This is another version jump due to the number of fixes, enhancements, and new features. * Fix issue where packages were sometimes incorrectly identified as already being in the build queue when they were not; thanks to SpacePlod for the bug report and thanks to Mauro Giachero for further bug reporting and providing a patch to fix it. * Add ability to pass build options/flavors/arguments to the SlackBuild when using the dialog interface. * Include ability to reverse or manually sort the items in the build queue; thanks to Mauro Giachero for the patches to implement these features. * Move all the queue functions into a separate 'Manage Queue' submenu off the main menu. * Allow user to save (and load) the build queue between sessions by specifing a file and location, so multiple saved queues can be maintained. * Automatically backup the current queue upon exiting and offer to reload upon first entering the queue submenu. * Provide a menu entry to clear the build queue. * Merge in several patches from Mauro Giachero to display the SVN version number; clean up use of cancel/back and ESC (ESC now takes you back a step in most dialogs); improve the cleanup process; and improve the new build flavors/options dialog. * Apply several patches from slakmagik for various little fixes, cleanups, and tweaks. * Create a new 'Utilities' submenu off the main menu and move some of the less-important items there in order to clean up the main menu. It was getting a bit bulky. :-) * Add ability to download a new sbopkg package when there is an update. * Include optional use of a ~/.sbopkg.conf, which will override settings in the system /etc/sbopkg/sbopkg.conf file. * When changing the Slackware version in the dialog interface, offer the user the opportunity to save this change in the new ~/.sbopkg.conf file. * Improve build queue logging and error reporting; correctly remove symlink to the source tarball when build fails. * Bump default wget timeout from 10 to 15 seconds which prevents some downloads from failing. * Add update list fix for ksmoothdock; thanks to Wade Grant for the bug report. * Improve how the sources are downloaded and identified. * Remove the 'read sbopkg README' from the main menu. * Add a directory check for OUTPUT since that is now required. * Add preliminary check to make sure command line options -b and -i are not used together. * Fix issue where certain packages in queue that end with a ++ (like libsigc++) could not be added. sbopkg 0.20.0 (2009-01-01 20:53 UTC) This a version jump due to the numerous fixes, enhancements, and new features. New features: * There is a new -i command line switch that allows the user to build and install packages in a manner similar to the current -b switch for building only. As with the -b switch, the user can build and install more than one package by listing them in quotes. And, by carefully listing dependencies in the right order, it might be possible to build and install dependencies and the final, target package in one go, like this: # sbopkg -i "imlib2 giblib feh" In this case, imlib2 must be built and installed before giblib, both of which need to be built and installed before feh. Given the nature of building dependencies, this may not always work, but it still may be helpful and useful in many cases. * Coupled with the new -i switch, there is a new 'build queue' in the dialog interface. The user can add packages to the queue and then, when ready, can process the queue in the order the packages are listed. The user can choose to build only or build and install the packages in the queue. Again, by listing dependencies in the right order, it may be possible to build dependencies and the final, target package in one go like the feh example above. * After checking for updates, the user is offered the opportunity to add those flagged updates to the build queue automatically. * When building packages individually outside of the build queue, the user is offered the opportunity to build or build and install the package. * There is a new -u command line switch, and a corresponding new dialog menu selection, that allows the user to check if there is an update to sbopkg itself. * A new DEBUG variable is introduced to the sbopkg.conf file that allow for easier debugging and update list bug reporting. See the sbopkg.conf man page for more detail. Bug Fixes: * Fix issues with the "Installed/Not Installed" text at the top of info item menu screen. Thanks to Erik Hanson and Mauro Giachero for assistance with this issue. * Improve the wording and button labeling of several dialogs; thanks to Erik Hanson for a patch to implement several of these improvements and thanks to The-Croupier for suggestions on another. * Clean up the customization menu. * Fix issue with typhoon_2001 not building correctly; thanks to cotterochan for the bug report. * Fix django download issue due to their weird tarball naming scheme; thanks to David Somero for the bug report. * Fix mplayer update issue; thanks to all the folks that reported this one. Clearly, mlayer is a popular app. :-) * Fix acroread update issue; thanks to Erik Hanson for the bug report. * Fix build queue failure issue found in 0.20.0rc1 due to not recovering from control-c cleanly; thanks to Mauro Giachero for the bug report. * Fix issue found in 0.20.0rc1 where packages could be added to queue more than once which caused some funky behavior; thanks to Mauro Giachero for the bug report. * Fix issue found in 0.20.0rc1 where customized SlackBuilds were not being used in the build process; thanks to Mauro Giachero for the bug report. * Fix issue found in 0.20.0rc1 where the queue processing would continue even after removing all packages from the queue; thanks to Mauro Giachero for the bug report. Changes to sbopkg.conf: As a result of some of these new features, users are advised of three changes to the sbopkg.conf file. Users can either manually update their existing sbopkg.conf file or use the sbopkg.conf.new file that is installed when you upgrade sbopkg. * OUTPUT is now required. This was commented out in prior versions of sbopkg.conf. The default setting of OUTPUT is: export OUTPUT=${OUTPUT:-/tmp} this is the same default setting in SBo SlackBuild scripts themselves. * TERMBUILD is deprecated. All building and installing switches now out of dialog and occurs in a terminal in all cases. Having the build take place inside the dialog interface caused some issues and made it difficult to implement some of the new features. So, it went. As a result, you can delete TERMBUILD from your sbopkg.conf file. * As mentioned above, DEBUG is a new required variable in the sbopkg.conf file. The default setting is DEBUG=0. sbopkg 0.15.0 (2008-12-11 02:45 UTC) Congrats to Patrick and the team on the new release of Slackware 12.2. * Slackware 12.2 is now the default Slackware version selected when using sbopkg. * Fix an issue where sometimes a built package was incorrectly listed in the software info item menu, i.e. mplayer-codecs-all instead of mplayer. Thanks to necropresto for the bug report. * Add --no-owner to default rsync flags to avoid having the local SBo repo tagged with owner 1016 permissions. Thanks to Pierre Cazenave for the bug report and Erik Hanson for the suggested solution. sbopkg 0.14.1 (2008-12-04 09:35 UTC) * Fix issue where certain package names were showing up incorrectly in the 'install' option - i.e. mplayer instead of mplayer-codecs-all. Thanks to necropresto for the bug report. * A few little cleanups and cruft-removal. sbopkg 0.14.0 (2008-11-16 17:15 UTC) * Various fixes related to the SlackBuilds.org update changing certain 'xx' to '++', such as TiMidity++, libsigc++, and libxml++. * The info item menus now display the repo's software version in the menu title, and also display whether the package has been installed at the top of the screen. This is a really nice improvement. Thanks to Erik Hanson for the patch. * Improve the Control-C trapping. * Fix the issue where simply pressing 'Enter' in the search box would result in all packages in the repo being listed as search results. Now, it just returns to the main menu. * Fix xerces-c issue in the update list. Thanks to João Felipe Santos for the bug report. * Lots of other little cleanups and cruft-removal. * Also, the sbopkg package itself now has a tag at the end, in keeping with typical Slackware package convention. In addition, a new home page (http://www.sbopkg.org) has been set up. Many thanks to the guys at cardinal.lizella.net, and their colocation provider, Cyberlink International (http://cyberlinkint.com) for the hosting. sbopkg 0.13.1 (2008-10-28 14:06 UTC) * A fix for OpenOffice.org not being picked up correctly on the updatelist feature. Thanks to Erik Hanson for the bug report. * A fix for a couple issues that appeared with the changes to the rsync and wget flags in version 0.13.0. Thanks to Ken Roberts and Jorge Gaton for the bug reports. To remedy this problem, I have removed TIMEOUT from sbopkg.conf and instead added two optional variables, RSYNCFLAGS and WGETFLAGS. These options have been populated with some of the flags that were previously in the sbopkg script itself. This means that folks can manually tweak the flags used by rsync and wget, although in most cases the defaults should be left alone. This also means that for those who are upgrading sbopkg from a previous version will again need to manually update their sbopkg.conf from the sbopkg.conf.new that is installed and merge the changes. Sorry about these changes to the configuration file, but hopefully they are for the better since these changes fix the problems mentioned previously and also give the users a bit more control over the flags used, if desired. sbopkg 0.13.0 (2008-10-25 12:38 UTC) * New code has been added to allow the user to cleanly abort the source download by pressing Control-C; thanks to Zordak for the suggestion. * Add in several improvements to the rsync and wget stages, whereby better error messages are detected and displayed, -z is removed from rsync, and other general cleanups; thanks to macavity for the suggestions and patches. * Add in -O option to wget to allow for cases where downloaded source name is different than expected (such as virtualbox-ose); thanks to acidchild for the bug report. * Add in new sbopkg.conf variable TIMEOUT to allow the user to manually set the timeout value for rsync and wget; thanks to macavity for the suggestion. NOTE: this will require users upgrading from previous versions to either merge the new sbopkg.conf into their existing file, or manually add a TIMEOUT=10 (default is 10 seconds) to their existing sbopkg.conf file. * Add in several updatelist fixes; thanks to Erik Hanson for the bug reports. * Add in fix where searching for category names would create problems; thanks to nille for the bug report. * Add in some new code in an initial attempt to fix the 'decimal' problem in bash, in which comparing package versions (like 3.9 versus 3.11) would result in incorrect updatelist results. This code should fix some updatelist errors reported by Erik Hanson, samac, and João Felipe Santos. This new code needs testing, so please check the updatelist and then consider running it with the debug feature enabled and check the results the again. See the UPDATELIST-DEBUGGING document for details on how to enable debugging. * Fix size of several dialog boxes for a better UI; thanks to Erik Hanson for the bug report. * Several error-checking and graceful exit cleanups and fixes. sbopkg 0.12.0 (2008-10-07 14:05 UTC) * New code that better catches MD5SUM failures and offers the opportunity to delete the corrupted source. * New menu entry that allows a user to manually delete the saved sources for any particular software in the SBo repository. Thanks to Drew Ames for the bug reports and suggestions that led to both of these two fixes and additions. * Add in ability to edit the *.info file in a similar manner to editing the SlackBuild. With this addition, a user can now manually update the .info and SlackBuild from within sbopkg and build and install an updated package before it hits the repo. If you use vi/vim as your EDITOR and want an easy way to insert the MD5SUM of a new source tarball, try ":r! md5sum /path/to/new/source". Then clean up the inserted information into a proper .info file layout. Thanks to nille for prodding me to get this done. * Move the editing functions into a submenu to better organize the 'info item' menu for each software selection. Thanks to nille for the suggestion. * Several error-checking and graceful exit cleanups and fixes. sbopkg 0.11.2 (2008-09-16 22:41 UTC) * The pid file is now properly removed when using sbopkg from the cli; many thanks to LukenShiro for the bug report and help with testing. * Checks for the various sbopkg-related directories and files are improved. * A couple of updatelist fixes; thanks to LukenShiro for the bug reports. sbopkg 0.11.1 (2008-09-12 17:32 UTC) This is a minor bug fix for version 0.11.0. sbopkg 0.11.0 (2008-09-12 14:51 UTC) * After many, _many_ requests, sbopkg now adds preliminary support to install a package by calling upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new. Currently, this new feature is only available in the dialog interface (the cli version will include this feature shortly). If sbopkg finds a package for the selected application in the OUTPUT directory, then a new menu item will automagically appear allowing the user to install the package. Thanks very much to Erik Hanson for the initial code to get this working. Please do test this functionality and let me know if there are any issues. * Much improved menu navigation -- the 'Return to Main Menu' feature that appeared in the last release is now moved down as a button next to "Ok" and "Back." Additionally, several of "Cancel" buttons are renamed "Back." I think these changes greatly improve things from a user interface perspective. Thanks to Erik Hanson for the suggestions. * There is a new option in sbopkg.conf "TERMBUILD" that allows a user to optionally have the package building process step outside of dialog and process in a regular terminal. Thanks to Erik Hanson for the suggestion and patch to make this work. * Create a pid file when sbopkg is first run and check for its existence to prevent multiple instances of sbopkg from running. Thanks to David Somero for the suggestion. * Add in several bugfixes for the update list. Thanks to Erik Hanson and The-spiki for the bug reports. sbopkg 0.10.0 (2008-08-27 04:53 UTC) * Committed a patch from that fixes ubuntulooks update bug, removes ARCH from the update comparison code to prevent false positive when different arches are used, and fixes libsigc++ and TiMidity++ update bugs; thanks to Bert Babington for the patch. * Modified the sbopkg.conf file to allow easier/more correct exporting of variables; thanks to Ken Roberts for the patch and helpful dialog on the issue. Please note that the default sbopkg TMP has moved from /tmp to /tmp/SBo, so be sure to move your permanent build log and package debugging list, if any, to the new location. * Renamed sbopkg.conf.sample to sbopkg.conf.new and incorporate a doinst.sh script per general Slackware convention; thanks to Ken Roberts for the suggestion, patch, and doinst.sh script. This sbopkg.conf.new is the new 'sample' configuration file. As such, please back up your old sbopkg.conf and then consider merging any changes you made to your old sbopkg.conf and then renaming the sbopkg.conf.new to sbopkg.conf. * Add a "Return to Main Menu' function in the package information menu; thanks to Murat D. Kadirov for the suggestion. * Include fixes for several other packages in the update code. * Fixed some typos; thanks to samac for the report. * Add a feature to view the sbopkg README from the main menu. * Lots and lots of little fixes, tweaks, and cleanups throughout the script. The error checking and other similar low-level plumbing issues are generally improved. * Several changes/edits to the man pages and other documentation. sbopkg 0.0.9 (2008-08-14 04:06 UTC) * Several bug fixes in the update list to prevent false positives. Thanks to ktabic and Antoine for the bug reports. * Fixed some things so that a user can now correctly set a different TMP, SRCDIR, OUTPUT etc. in sbopkg.conf, which means that someone can completely segregate sbopkg and it's related SBo-building and package dumping directories, for example, /sbo/tmp, /sbo/cache, /sbo/packages etc. See the sbopkg.conf(5) man page for details. Thanks to Ken Roberts for the bug report. * New features include the ability to clear the cache directory from within the dialog interface and to display all installed SBo packages in the dialog and cli. * The search results page has been improved and the user can now jump directly to a package's information menu from the search results page. Thanks to Erik Hanson for the diffs, suggestions, whitespace cleanups, and bug fixes. * Menu navigation has been greatly improved so that sbopkg remembers where you are when navigating up and down through the menus. Again, big thanks to Erik Hanson for this improvement. sbopkg 0.0.8 (2008-08-04 02:02 UTC) * The major addition to this version is the ability to search for and display potential updates to SBo packages installed on the user's system. There are also verious other bug-fixes and code cleanups. Big thanks to Erik Hanson for his suggestions and help with the new update code. sbopkg 0.0.7 (2008-05-17 03:20 UTC) * Sbopkg now properly creates the /home/sbo/12.1 directory if it doesn't exist (or equivalent as set in sbopkg.conf). Note the user still has to manually create the 'root' directory where the SBo mirror will be held -- i.e. /home/sbo in this example. * Category list menu has been tweaked to include the two new SBo categories in the full view. * Some old commented out cruft has been removed. sbopkg 0.0.6.1 (2008-05-03 01:35 UTC) Congratulations to Patrick and the Slackware team on the release of Slackware 12.1. * The only change is to set the default SBo repository to 12.1 and update the man pages etc. to reference Slackware 12.1. Otherwise, there are no substantive changes over 0.0.6. sbopkg 0.0.6 (2008-04-13 15:24 UTC) * Ability to rsync with and browse SBo repos for different Slackware versions (currently 11.0 and 12.0, and will be updated when 12.1 is out). * Improved search functionality for cli. The -s switch is the same as before, and will display the README, *.info etc. for a particular package name. New, however, is -q, which will search for packages by string and return a list of possible matches. This is now the search used in the dialog interface as well. * Various other cleanups and bugfixes. Also, the sbopkg Google Groups list has been created: http://groups.google.com/group/sbopkg-discuss sbopkg 0.0.5 (2008-04-02 19:29 UTC) * Users can now copy and edit the SlackBuild within the dialog interface, keeping both the original and edited SlackBuild. * Build packages using original or edited SlackBuild. * Fixes to the permanent build log so it actually works from dialog or cli. ;-) * Ability to view/delete the permanent build log within dialog interface. * Basic search functionality built in to the dialog interface (shows what category a piece of software is in); * Better viewing of the README, .info, slack-desc, and SlackBuild from cli. * Various other cleanups. sbopkg 0.0.4 (2008-03-29 17:26 UTC) sbopkg 0.0.3 (2008-03-28 05:18 UTC) * More than one application can be searched at a time in the cli. * Build process window remains in state correctly, as does the rsync window. * Source tarballs are saved in a separate SRCDIR directory and symlinked to the build directory. * Can browse this SRCDIR cache directory within the dialog interface. * Thanks to slackmagik for several of these excellent suggestions and contributions. sbopkg 0.0.2 (2008-03-26 16:00 UTC) sbopkg 0.0.1 (2008-03-24 14:22 UTC)
