NAME

sboconfig - set sbotools configuration options

SYNOPSIS

sboconfig [-h|-v]

sboconfig [-l]

sboconfig [--reset]

sboconfig [-C TRUE|FALSE] [-c TRUE|FALSE] [-d TRUE|FALSE] \
          [-g TRUE|FALSE ] [-j #|FALSE] [-p /path|FALSE] \
          [-s /path|/usr/sbo] [-B branch_name|FALSE] [-b TRUE|FALSE] \
          [-o /path|FALSE] [-V #.#|FALSE] [-r url|FALSE] \
          [-R TRUE|FALSE] [-S TRUE|FALSE]

DESCRIPTION

sboconfig is a front-end for managing sbotools configuration options. Using sboconfig without any flags starts an interactive menu to specify settings; all options are accompanied by an explanatory message, and no changes are applied without user confirmation.

The sbotools.conf(5) file can also be manually edited; any fields not relevant to sbotools configuration are ignored.

OPTIONS

-h|--help

Show help information.

-v|--version

Show version information.

-l|--list

List the current configuration options, including unmodified defaults. --list also shows the sboconfig flag used to set each option for reference.

--reset

Restore the default configuration to /etc/sbotools/sbotools.conf.

-B|--branch (FALSE|branch_name)

GIT_BRANCH: 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.

-b|--build-ignore (FALSE|TRUE)

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

-C|--classic (FALSE|TRUE)

CLASSIC: If TRUE, automatically enable RSYNC_DEFAULT and BUILD_IGNORE (overriding the contents of sbotools.conf(5)). 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.

-c|--noclean (FALSE|TRUE)

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

-d|--distclean (FALSE|TRUE)

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

-g|--gpg-verify (FALSE|TRUE)

GPG_VERIFY: If TRUE, use gpg to verify the contents of the local repository 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. Only rsync repositories can be verified on Slackware 14.0 and Slackware 14.1.

-j|--jobs (FALSE|#)

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

-p|--pkg-dir (FALSE|/path)

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

-s|--sbo-home (/usr/sbo|/path)

SBO_HOME: 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 if the SBO_HOME setting changes.

-o|--local-overrides (FALSE|/path)

LOCAL_OVERRIDES: 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 upgradeable with sboupgrade(1) nor removable with sboremove(1). README, slack-desc, an info file and a SlackBuild must all be present.

-V|--slackware-version (FALSE|#.#)

SLACKWARE_VERSION: 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.

-r|--repo (FALSE|url)

REPO: 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 for Slackware versions prior to 14.2, 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.

-R|--rsync (FALSE|TRUE)

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

-S|--strict-upgrades (FALSE|TRUE)

STRICT_UPGRADES: 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.

EXIT CODES

sboconfig can exit with the following codes:

0: all operations were successful.
1: a usage error occurred (e.g. passing invalid option specifications)
6: sboconfig was unable to obtain a required file handle.

BUGS

None known. If found, Issues and Pull Requests to https://github.com/pghvlaans/sbotools/ are always welcome.
