NAME

sbotools.hints - blacklist and optional dependency requests for sbotools

DESCRIPTION

The /etc/sbotools/sbotools.hints file is used to blacklist scripts and request optional dependencies.

If a script is blacklisted, it can neither be included in build queues nor removed by sboremove(1). To blacklist a script, place it on its own line with no whitespace, prepending an exclamation mark:

!javacc 

Blacklist entries supersede optional dependency requests.

Many scripts on SlackBuilds.org have optional dependencies. To make sbotools recognize one or more optional dependencies for a script, make a space-delineated list of optional dependencies and place the name of the script at the end:

libcacard spice libiscsi qemu

Commented lines are ignored. There should not be whitespace to the left of any entry.

sbohints(1) can also be used to interface with this file.
