NAME

sbotools.conf - configuration file for sbotools commands

DESCRIPTION

/etc/sbotools/sbotools.conf contains KEY=VALUE configuration parameters, and is read by all sbotools commands.

If an invalid configuration is detected (or requested with sboconfig(1)), the script exits with a diagnostic message.

To quickly restore all default settings, run

sboconfig --reset

To use a configuration directory other than /etc/sbotools, export an environment variable SBOTOOLS_CONF_DIR with an absolute path.

/root, /home, / and possible top-level directories under /home are not permitted as directory settings.

All values default to FALSE except for SBO_HOME. Recommended non-default settings include TRUE for:

• COLOR

• CPAN_IGNORE

• ETC_PROFILE

• GPG_VERIFY, provided the upstream repository is regularly signed with gpg(1).

• SO_CHECK

The current configuration keys are as follows:

CLASSIC=(FALSE|TRUE)

If TRUE, automatically enable RSYNC_DEFAULT and BUILD_IGNORE, and disable COLOR (overriding the contents of this file). Build increment and out-of-tree SlackBuild checks by sbocheck(1) are disabled, and previously-used build options are not displayed. This provides a more traditional sbotools look and feel for those who want it.

CPAN_IGNORE=(FALSE|TRUE)

If TRUE, install scripts even if they are already installed from the CPAN.

Recommended value: TRUE

DIALOGRC=(FALSE|/path)

If set to an absolute path, use that file as dialogrc when running sbotool(1).

DISTCLEAN=(FALSE|TRUE)

If TRUE, remove the package and source archives after building. Source archives are otherwise retained in md5sum-designated directories under /usr/sbo/distfiles (with SBO_HOME=/usr/sbo) by default. If PKG_DIR is set, package archives are saved there regardless of DISTCLEAN.

GPG_VERIFY=(FALSE|TRUE)

If TRUE, use gpg(1) to verify the contents of the local repository (and, if applicable, /etc/sbotools/obsolete) when running sbocheck(1), sboinstall(1) and sboupgrade(1). Missing public keys are detected, and a download from keyserver.ubuntu.com on port 80 is offered if available.

Recommended value: TRUE if the upstream repository is usually signed.

JOBS=(FALSE|#)

If numerical, pass to the -j argument when a SlackBuild invoking make is run.

NOCLEAN=(FALSE|TRUE)

If TRUE, do not clean working directories after building. These are the build and package-(sbo) directories under /tmp/SBo (or $TMP).

COLOR=(FALSE|TRUE)

If TRUE, enable sbotools color output. To customize color output, edit the /etc/sbotools/sbotools.colors file directly. See sbotools.colors(5) for more details.

Recommended value: TRUE

GIT_BRANCH=(FALSE|branch_name)

If FALSE, use the default git branch for the Slackware version, if any. If branch_name, attempt to change branches to branch_name when using sbocheck(1) with an upstream git repository.

BUILD_IGNORE=(FALSE|TRUE)

If TRUE, do not perform upgrades unless the version number differs. By default, upgrades also occur when the build number differs.

ETC_PROFILE=(FALSE|TRUE)

If TRUE, source any executable scripts in /etc/profile.d named *.sh before running each SlackBuild in the build queue.

Recommended value: TRUE

LOG_DIR=(FALSE|/path)

If set to an absolute path, save build logs here. Logs are saved with the name of the script and a timestamp. Please note that because STDERR must be redirected for a complete log, colors and formatting may differ when running some SlackBuilds unless LOG_DIR is FALSE.

MANUAL_DL_DIR=(FALSE|/path)

If set to an absolute path, prioritize source files with the proper name and checksum in that directory over downloads when running sboinstall(1) and sboupgrade(1). These files are not deleted after building, regardless of the value of DISTCLEAN.

NONET=(FALSE|TRUE)

If set to TRUE, do not allow network access when running SlackBuilds.

OBSOLETE_CHECK=(FALSE|TRUE)

If TRUE, download updated copies of the obsolete script list and the perl version history file to /etc/sbotools/obsolete and /etc/sbotools/perl_vers, respectively, from the sbotools home page at https://pghvlaans.github.io/sbotools when running sbocheck(1) in Slackware -current.

PKG_DIR=(FALSE|/path)

If set to a path, packages are stored there after installation. This overrides the DISTCLEAN setting for saved packages.

SBO_HOME=(/usr/sbo|/path)

If set to a path, this is where the SlackBuilds.org tree is stored. The default setting is /usr/sbo. The tree must be re-downloaded with sbocheck(1) if the SBO_HOME setting changes.

LOCAL_OVERRIDES=(FALSE|/path)

If set to a path, any directory name in the top level under that path matching a SlackBuild name is used in preference to the in-tree version. This works even if the SlackBuild is out-of-tree. Scripts installing packages not marked with the _SBo tag are neither upgradable with sboupgrade(1) nor removable with sboremove(1). slack-desc, an info file and a SlackBuild must all be present.

SLACKWARE_VERSION=(FALSE|#.#)

If set to a version number, use the SlackBuilds.org repository for that version of Slackware rather than the one specified in /etc/slackware-version.

SO_CHECK=(FALSE|TRUE)

If set to TRUE, check for missing first-order shared object (solib) dependencies among _SBo packages when running sbocheck(1) and sboupgrade(1). Additionally, sbocheck(1) searches for incompatible perl, python and ruby _SBo packages.

Recommended value: TRUE

REPO=(FALSE|url|/path)

If set to a git or rsync URL, use that repository instead of the sbotools default for your SLACKWARE_VERSION. The default repositories are under rsync://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds if RSYNC_DEFAULT is TRUE, and https://gitlab.com/SlackBuilds.org otherwise. The repository must be laid out in the same manner as one found at https://git.slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds such that SlackBuild directories are under the category directories.

RSYNC_DEFAULT=(FALSE|TRUE)

If set to TRUE, use rsync default mirrors except for Slackware -current.

STRICT_UPGRADES=(FALSE|TRUE)

If set to TRUE, upgrades are only attempted if the incoming version or build number is greater. This has no effect on scripts in the local overrides directory or when reinstalling with sboinstall.

NOWRAP=(FALSE|TRUE)

If set to TRUE, do not wrap sbotools output.
