You should be able to run sqg with the programs you you want with a -o after it and it will write a /var/lib/sbopkg/queues/custom.sqf file sqg -p "krusader filezilla mediainfo" -o You could use this to have sqg create a custom.sqf file, which you should then be able to run sbopkg -i custom and then tell it to do the queuefile.

[Slackbuilds-users] For grabs: gimp-plugin-export-layers
Hi, Would anybody like to take over gimp-plugin-export-layers? It is here: https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/graphics/gimp-plugin-export-layers/ It is long overdue for a version bump and a script cleanup and I would like to concentrate on some of my other projects...

Jeremy, Okay. I'll leave them all in one file. Does the sequence of packages in [a|the] queue file matter? Yes! This is the order sbopkg will build them in, so they need to be in the right build order. sqg generates queue files based on the needed build order for the SlackBuilds. I thought so yet hoped for a command line option that would make life simpler. :-) sbopkg does not resolve any dependencies. It relies on the build order listed in the queue files, which sqg should generate correctly. As above, worth asking anyway. I've always found it worthwhile, but it can be a lot of work to dig through all of that. Yep. I'll go through the list, find dependencies and options, and re-organize the package sequence.

On Sun, 4 Aug 2019, Chris Abela wrote: Try sbopkg -R -k -i "queue1.sqf queue2.sqf " Thanks, Chris. After reading the sbopkg man page and the README-queuefiles I have a few questions remaining. The pending queue file has 195 packages. Should I separate these by repo category into separate .sqf files? Does the sequence of packages in [a|the] queue file matter? The dependency chains, particularly with libraries, can be several levels. Will sbopkg resolve these dependencies or do I need to manually sequence the packages in each .sqf file so requirements are built/installed before the dependent package? Might it be worth the time to check each package in the SBo repo to determine whether options should be appended to the package name in the queue file? Or, should I have them built with defaults and wait for something to not run?

Dave, Thank you. I've started to read the sbopkg man page, but diverted to make a list of the packages needing to be installed. I'll finish that list and reading the man page before asking more questions about it.

[Slackbuilds-users] bas package updates
bas-2.4 got updated to bas-2.5 on its home page and when I discovered that, I also updated line 8 in bas.SlackBuild to have version 2.5 on it rather than version 2.4. The good news so far as I can tell is these were the only updates necessary to get this package update to build. -- ___ SlackBuilds-users mailing list SlackBuilds-users@slackbuilds.org https://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - https://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - https://slackbuilds.org/faq/
